With everything I do, I believe in transformation with respect for others and nature. I challenge myself and others to feel, think and look from different perspectives. I search and explore for fresh insights and foresights. I aim to inspire individuals and organisations towards a morally right transformation and empower them with techniques and tools to take into account individual and organisational rights, duties, interest and wishes in order to satisfy the needs of all involved others (Ekins & Max-Neef, 1996; Governance and Integrity, 2008; Gerritsen, 2011).
In my company De Vakmakerij, my military profession and my voluntarily endeavors, I create tools and techniques to facilitate the design of beautiful and understandable services and (organisational) systems in the context of wicked problems within the public sector. The tools and techniques facilitate the translation of thoughts, ideas and concepts so users, providers, facilitators and producers become change, work on change and realise transformation (Hummels, Trotto, Lévy, Peeters, Alves Lino & Klooster, 2018).
You can put different labels on this work. I prefer to describe my professional live as a quest towards craftsmenship. Craftsmenship is all about the dedicated and engaged professional who masters tools and techniques for the sake of the work on its own (Sennet, 2008). At this moment I combine the qualities of a transformative leader, systemic designer and servant of justice within the setting of public sector organisations. I frame my intended craftmenship the 'Creative director'.
