Introduction
My field of expertise is the dynamic interplay between governments and markets, and how the demand side can be leveraged to trigger and steer innovation. This particularly relates to innovation procurement.
I enjoy crossing the boundary between academic research and on-the-ground practice, developing decision-support methodologies for complex problems. Connecting theory and practice in this way serves as a driver to improving public procurement processes and outcomes, and informs policy measures

![The PLABERUM process at the Municipality of Amsterdam [54].](publication/361987331/figure/fig3/AS:11431281389592403@1745216432099/The-PLABERUM-process-at-the-Municipality-of-Amsterdam-54_Q320.jpg)
Mission-oriented approaches such as green public procurement (GPP) are emerging as popular solutions for governments to tackle contemporary sustainability challenges. Voluntary standards are instruments that can be used in GPP to drive innovation toward sustainability goals. However, there exists a lack of understanding of how to theoretically situ...
Public procurement can accelerate transitions to a more circular economy by creating new demand for resource efficiency. Interactions during pre-procurement consultations influence the impact of such purchasing by helping define tender specifications. Intermediation throughout these processes can facilitate interactions between participants, assist...
There is a significant potential to improve the benefits from public procurement through a better understanding of drivers in company success at the micro-level, an area that has received little study to date. To increase these impacts on innovation and markets, policy makers have opened procurement to innovation, including the strategic incorporat...
Complex System Governance (CSG) is an emerging field, representing an approach to improve system performance through purposeful design, execution, and evolution of essential meta-system functions. The aim of this study was twofold: (i) to understand how modeling and simulation (M&S) can be used to enhance the emerging field of CSG and (ii) to evalu...
Decision-making within a complex operating environment spanning multiple domains necessitates enterprise-level operational agility. In this case, operational agility involves ability to react to dynamic opponents and the orchestration of technical resources as well as alignment of managerial processes. A shift from the system level to the enterpris...
To induce innovation in the public sector, Directive 2014/24/EU encourages internal and external consultation during the procurement process. However, little is known regarding the prominence of these practices. Determining the extent of knowledge sourcing in innovation procurement across 29 European countries, this paper presents an institutional...
Green Public Procurement (GPP) is defined as purchasing which reduces environmental impacts across product or service life cycles. Standardization, as another demand-side measure, complements GPP by shaping standards, which when strategically applied in tenders can drive market demand for environmental products and services and stimulate eco-innova...
Public procurement plays a vital role in stimulating sustainable and inclusive European growth through innovation. Moving beyond primary goals of service improvement and cost reduction, innovation procurement practices of public agencies can pursue secondary goals such as innovation and sustainability. However, an increased focus on core competence...
Life cycle assessment (LCA) of greenhouse gas emissions is often used to compare products in the global crude market. While Alberta's oil sands face particular pressure to improve performance, a lack of consensus on methods, data, and assumptions specific to the LCA of products derived from crude oil weaken such comparisons. This paper investigates...
