Today we are living in the most turbulent times we’ve ever seen. To continue with a business as usual mindset, companies risk becoming irrelevant. The new now requires a new way of thinking, an open mind, creativity, adaptation and a new (much more humble) tone.

I am on a mission to inspire and help B2B leaders to adopt the new truth, so they will not fall behind or be overrun. This is not about surviving and thriving alone, but about building something great, and feel great again yourself.

You CAN build an enduring ecosystem of value that inspires, boosts resilience, unites employees, attracts and unlocks sustainable growth in a landscape where the only constant is change.

To do this I have developed my signature program called YOUR NEXT NOW™, which is a fast and affordable way to RE-EXAMINE, RE-IMAGINE and RE-DESIGN your vision, your positioning, your offer, your culture, your adaptability and RE-INVENT your future succes, because those that innovate in the midst of disruption will do so much better.

DESIGN YOUR WAY FORWARD

Phot of Yvonne
BECAUSE THINGS ARE CHANGING

BECAUSE THE RULES OF COMPETING ARE CHANGING

BECAUSE  YOUR CLIENTS’ NEEDS ARE CHANGING
PREPARE FOR
WHAT IS AHEAD

The world has changed fundamentally and with that your customers’ needs and behaviours are changing. The assumptions on which you could previously predict stable growth may no longer be valid.

Learn from the insights that emerged from today’s many crises and discover why strengthening your brand is crucial in future-proofing your business.

CLAIM A UNIQUE POSITION

The market is moving faster than ever, there is a huge offering and a lot of the same out there. Claiming a position with a niche product, better features, lower prices, faster delivery etc. is no longer enough to gain a sustainable advantage as those will be met by the competition over time.

Discover how to cut through the clutter and truly outmanoeuvre your competitor.

INCREASE YOUR ADAPTABILTY

What we know today, may not be what we need to know tomorrow. To truly thrive in a landscape dominated by change, you need to be flexible and able to come up with creative ideas fast.

Get the tools to be more innovative and create focus and alignment front to back, inward and outward. Because when everybody knows what to strive for, you can spot change early and adapt faster.

ABOUT ME

The pandemic forced me to redesign my own way forward. By re-evaluating who I am, what new value I can offer, what the world needs, I have re-designed my business model and offering during the pandemic and as a result created YOUR NEXT NOW™.

My work experience is made up of two different careers. One in a corporate environment as a Bid Executive and one in the SMB environment as an Entrepreneur and Designer. 

By re-examining what makes me unique and why people should choose me, I realised that my zig zagging career path has actually taught me a unique combination of commercial and creative skills. In stead of looking at my different career paths in silos but rather imagining what fulfilling work I could do by combining my skills I realised I am well equipped to tap into more dimensional thinking required for strategy work.

BRANDING STRATEGY HAS THOUGHT ME HOW TO HELP ACCELERATE YOUR BUSINESS THROUGH THE POWER OF DESIGN, INNOVATION AND CREATIVE TRANSFORMATION

CONNECTING THE DOTS

To be a good Strategist requires business skills and insight. Creating new strategies requires one to see the intangibles and connect the dots.

I tested a proofed my abilities, by working with Level C over a period of several years, where I have been trained to see problems in their full complexity, think disruptively and design strategies that create recurring growth.

In addition I invested to learn more about innovation and read everything I could on the insights that have emerged from the many crises facing businesses today. I especially focussed on what it takes to create resilience and future proof your business for the new now.

I am a Level C certified Brand Strategist and Brand Architect and as such wish to help other businesses create resilience and make an impact.

I am proud to say I qualified as one of the first 40 Level C Brand Architects (globally), certified by the acclaimed brand strategist Marty Neumeier.

Brand architects look beneath the surface of the brand to find the points of connection within the company’s business, then use these connections to blueprint an ecosystems of value. 

Where Strategists solve problems others can’t solve. Architects solve problems others can’t see.
