Effectiveness Scan

Do you want to know if your project, intervention or policy plan has the potential to contribute to an effective social or safety policy? With the EBW method© I perform a scan on your project or policy plan. This can be done at the start or during the duration of the plan. I tell you what the strong points of your plan are, but also what you can still work on to make it more effective.

In the media and at your event

To make more impact with my vision and story, you will see or hear me in the media regularly. Here are some examples of the media channels where you have been able to read, hear or see my interviews or opinion articles. For events you can book me as a speaker or chairman via this site, the Sprekershuys or A Cup of Ambition.

Publications

I spent 15 years researching all kinds of interventions, policies and organizations in the social and security domain. These include (anti)radicalization, crime, undermining, youth care, parenting, citizenship. Although I no longer conduct (evaluation) research myself, I find it important to share my research work. After all, knowledge is power. By using existing knowledge, we can make more effective social and security policies.
