Making a difference by design.

About Me

I help companies to develop better products faster.

I specialise in improving productivity to help you and your team deliver a consistent flow of new products, better, and more profitable and with more fun!

I have a passion for progress and an obsession with implementation. I’m driven to help you to deliver great work. I love seeing teams deliver their craft together, beautifully.

I take a practical approach, with a people lens. I make the complex simple. Giving you time back in your day, so you can accomplish more.

Results

Here’s what I have achieved for my clients, with the 3-month ‘Fast track NPD’ program:

30% more margin
12.5% productivity gain
Halved lead times
Customer complaints reduced by 60%
Rework reduced by 33%
Team engagement up by 52%.

Which gives the company leaders:

Overview and control of the NPD pipeline and its progress
An aligned and engaged team that communicates well
Hours back in your day to focus on the other parts of the business
Confidence – with the tools to make the right decisions at the right time.

This will have your business on track to reach its business goals.

What My Clients Say

Here are a few people we’ve helped successfully grow their business:

Saskia, you’re a great coach and teacher of complex processes, and you do it in a way that is easily understood and gets everyone excited about the possibilities.

Saskia helped us design a process that’s clear for all, with clear responsibilities. Now, 3 months later, the number of loopbacks are significantly less. Which makes a huge difference for our BAU teams. It saves me a lot of worrying, easily an hour back in my day.

The difference Saskia helped us make? All the new products that we have launched have gone well.

World class!

9 out of 10. Especially Saskia's persistency is valuable. Not letting us veer back to our old habits. We're on our way now, with good visibility, the skills and a foundation that sets us up well for success.

Most valuable is Saskia’s (and now our team’s) commitment to results. NPD is now self-sustaining and ongoing. For me, as CEO, it means I can confidently move my focus to other parts of our business.
