former CEO of Trineo

"As a Design Thinking Coach, René has helped our own team and our customers immensely. I've lost count the number of times I've been really surprised at the way René has managed a group (small or quite large) through an effective cycle of divergence - convergence - creating, through a deep empathy and inquisitiveness, the kind of environment that always seems to surface interesting insights, but critically, drives these towards a structured output that action can be taken from - even in large groups."

 

JOHN MASSON

ex-CTO of Kilterset

"René is an excellent Design Thinker with lots of experience and thorough knowledge of the methodology. In addition, he is willing and able to get deep into the respective subject matter, which contributes to great outcomes."

Design Thinking is a powerful approach to problem-solving and Innovation

Design Thinking is a structured approach to creative problem‑solving that focuses on deeply understanding the people affected by an issue and exploring many possible solutions. It encourages us to question the problems we face, examine the assumptions we hold, and stay curious and open‑minded throughout the process.
By challenging these assumptions and considering the broader implications of our ideas, Design Thinking becomes especially useful for complex or poorly defined challenges. It helps teams clarify what the real problem is, generate innovative options, and test solutions in a practical, user‑focused way before fully committing to them.
