Functie:
Senior scientist at TNO and Professor at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences on business for societal transition
Frank Berkers

My expertise is on design approaches for business models and decision-making for business models and innovations involving multiple organizations. This time of major changes, especially in business, requires good and reliable support for collaboration, e.g., Value Case Methodology and Collaborative Business Modelling and Orchestrating Innovation.

Professorship chair

Business for Societal Transition (Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences)

Research area

As lead for the ‘Purpose Economy’ theme, I focus on establishing and increasing ‘collectivism’ for and among business organizations. Collectives (networks, alliances,..) allow for implementing and

scaling alternatives to market transactions. This is necessary for system change, however approaches to support this are lacking.
