Marijke works as facilitator, action-researcher and organization journalist at Kessels & Smit. ‘As organizational journalists we not only help to make an image visible, we also take it further, into a joint analysis, a deeper conversation or the building of a new approach together. Individual stories form the building blocks for a collective that is greater than the sum of its parts.’
