When you have a team and internal capacities, but need extra knowledge for steering them efficiently to achieve your goals.
Close cooperation with top-level decision-makers, product managers, or business owners.
Typically I facilitate workshops, (co-)create strategies, processes, analyses, or guidelines.
When you need to develop specific competency of your team, increase its efficiency, quality of output, or raise seniority level.
I join your design or research team temporarily, review current practices, seek improvements in processes, methods, and lead by example towards better results.
Includes individual mentoring.
When you lack internal capacity or specific competency or need to accelerate your project with a superpower of seasoned expert.
Typical delivery is a design specification, UX or interaction model spec, market analysis, prototypes, research report, or product concept definition.
Alignment with your internal teams(s) and processes.
When your team needs to learn a new skill, get trained for specific situations, or understand and strengthen specific competence.
Practical one- or multi-day training, custom-made for your needs. Participants learn a new domain and don't leave until they're able to use it effectively in real situations within your organization.
