Consultants

The core of IDIS Consultancy is made up of three consultants who have a broad experience in the design world. All three have themselves been at the head of an agency and all three have proven experience in managing, coaching and developing professionals, entrepreneurs and organisations within the design world.
For specific needs we can always (additionally) rely on an extensive network of specialised consultants surrounding IDIS Consultancy, however one of the following key consultants will always be involved.

Peter Boelsma
Peter Boelsma (1952) is founder and managing consultant of IDIS/International Design Industry Services.
IDIS has had a strong focus on supporting the design world from its founding in 2000. At first mostly as a recruitment agency, followed in recent years by a complementary range of services in the area of workshops & seminars, interim management, management consultancy and mediation (mediating in conflict situations).
From 1990 to 1996 Peter was managing partner of the design agency 2D3D in The Hague, where he was introduced to all ins & outs of the design world and running a medium size design agency.
