How agreements shape SME ecosystems.
A transparent view into my PhD-in-progress — where questions, data, and drafts are openly tested before publication.
Distinguishing when SMEs improve the ecosystems they depend on — and when they don’t.
In 360 dialogues, a research lens shaped by ecosystem leadership and agreement design.
What are 360 Dialogues?
A 360 dialogue is a focused intervention that I use to examine a system from the full circle:
people inside the organization and stakeholders around it
explicit and implicit agreements
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 explores how agreement structures influence performance and well-being within business ecosystems, and identifies patterns that promote regeneration under stress instead of 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.
