AREAS OF RESEARCH

My research interest centers on the humanization of organization focusing on the ethnography of complex (emergent) organization(s) and the postmodern / deconstructionist interpretation of ‘organizing’. My research interests are philosophically and ethically informed and include CSR / business ethics, organization & aesthetics, gender & organization, and coherence emergence & self-organization. Healthcare organization is a focus of interest.
APPLIED RESEARCH

My in-company/organization research interests center on: (1) practice(s) of ethics, and (2) creativity in organizational processes. Firms with which I have worked include: Achmea/Interpolis, Humanitas, NSO (Dutch Railways), Gist-Brocades, Corus, Siennax, Magi and Lego-ImaginationLab / Emergent Play.
