How agreement structures shape SME ecosystems.
360 dialogues turn intuition into testable agreements through shared work on real situations.
Turning intuition into testable agreements.
What are 360 Dialogues?
A 360 dialogue is a focused conversation that examines a system from the full circle:
people inside the organization and stakeholders around it
explicit contracts and implicit rules of the game
stated purpose and the outcomes the system reliably produces
The aim is simple: to make agreement structures visible — the ones that quietly shape decisions, risk, trust, and value creation.

What is my PhD exploring?
My research asks how agreement structures shape performance and well-being in business ecosystems — and which patterns enable regeneration under stress rather than slow extraction.
I combine qualitative fieldwork, agreement field mapping, and systems thinking to examine:
why good intentions still produce unhealthy outcomes
how de facto goals emerge through everyday agreements
which agreement shifts reliably improve decision quality

Where does this work live?
This site is a home base for two connected streams:
PhD research: writing-in-public notes, concepts, and learning loops
Factor X (Routledge): an international book series on resource systems and human flourishing
I’m not offering services. I’m inviting conversation, co-authorship, and peer exchange.

PhD Working Threads — an Open Research Kitchen
An open view into the craft of doctoral research — thinking, testing, revising, in public.
These five pages offer a transparent view into my PhD-in-progress — an open research kitchen where questions, data, models, and interpretations are developed before they become finished papers.
