People Rock Innovation

People Rock Innovation!

I'm Anna van der Aa. I believe people rock innovation!

You'll find me at the convergence of technology, creativity, and people development - an intersection that has motivated me through years of designing complex software, facilitating innovation, and training international teams.

My broad experience covers consulting and product design, user experience research, engineering, development, and training. This technical expertise, combined with my masters degree in Innovation by Design (2014) and ongoing development in Clean Coaching, Narrative Practices, and Visual Facilitation, now enables me to guide professionals in their discovery of artificial intelligence.

I firmly believe that technological systems should serve humans, not the other way around. Let's do all we can to keep it that way!

What people say

Feedback from professionals who have participated in the "Explore AI with HI" workshop:

"We were able to share our hopes and concerns, drawing on each other's experiences and our collective wisdom. This blend of individual reflection and group discussion created a balanced learning environment where we could absorb new insights at our own pace and explore AI's possibilities without fear of judgment."

"Anna immediately made us feel comfortable and got us curious from day one. She presents complex issues in a way that's easy to grasp, so everyone felt confident contributing to discussions regardless of their AI background. Over two days, we learned so much from each other within a framework that was well-organized yet adaptable. The ground rules we created together as a group really encouraged participation and mutual respect."
