The best way to show you what Andersdenkers (DifferentThinkers) does is by asking you a question. Write down in one minute all the applications you can think of with a paperclip.
You probably got up with some ten apllications which is great.
Now I let you know that a paperclip can be made of another material then plain iron or is a meter high. When we do the exercise again, you probably have ten more answers written down.
In basic that is what we do at Andersdenkers. We help entrepreneurs of different sizes to have a fresh look at their business and together explore brand new markets and develop fresh and innovative business concepts.

As a freelance journalist I mainly write about ICT. I specialize more or less in information security and networking. The shift these days is from te more technical approach to the management side.

I started out as a trained graphic designer in the 80's when things started to change rapidly from analog to digital. I was one of the first designers who started with Pagemaker 1.0 and trained many graphic professionals at designstudio's, advertising agencies and publishers.
After some ten years looking at every pixel on teh screen and always worked with too tight deadlines, my eyes begame a problem. It took time to focus between the screen and the outside world. The doctor told me blunt that I have to change profession and so I learned myself the journalistic trade.
