Expert Support for Design Science Research in Business Doctorates
Are you a PhD or DBA candidate focused on solving real-world business problems through rigorous, design-oriented research? I specialize in supporting doctoral researchers like you—those committed to advancing both scholarly knowledge and practical impact through Design Science Research (DSR).
Whether you are just shaping your proposal or finalizing your contribution, I help you navigate the complexity of DSR and communicate your work with clarity, academic rigor, and relevance to practitioners.
My Services
1. Research Framing & Positioning
I help you clearly define the problem relevance and theoretical contribution of your project, positioning your work at the crucial intersection of academic expectations and professional significance.
- Clarify your design problem and intended artefact
- Align your project with DSR principles and business impact
- Communicate your contribution to both scholarly and managerial audiences
2. Structuring the Research Process
Design Science Research follows a logic that can feel unfamiliar. I guide you in structuring your work to meet doctoral standards while staying true to your practice-oriented goals.
- Apply DSR frameworks (e.g., Hevner et al., Peffers et al.)
- Integrate iterations, evaluations, and artefact justification into your chapters
- Navigate the relationship between problem space and solution space
3. Communication & Writing Coaching
You’re creating something novel. I help you write clearly and confidently about your artefact, your research process, and your findings—whether you’re publishing, defending, or presenting.
- Academic writing support tailored to doctoral standards
- Help translating design outputs into academically acceptable results
- Coaching for presentations, vivas, or practitioner briefings
4. Practitioner Engagement & Stakeholder Integration
Design Science Research thrives on real-world engagement. I help you manage and document stakeholder involvement, from ideation to artefact validation.
- Strategies for co-creation and user input
- Guidance on fieldwork design and data collection
- Framing stakeholder insights as valid research evidence
5. Bridging Academic and Practical Contributions
Your doctorate should leave a footprint in both academia and industry. I help you articulate dual-impact contributions that resonate with peer reviewers and decision-makers alike.
- Support crafting executive summaries, white papers, or policy briefs
- Mapping your research findings to actionable insights
- Guidance on post-doctorate dissemination strategy
Who I Work With
- PhD and DBA candidates in business, management, information systems, healthcare, sustainability, and related disciplines
- Candidates affiliated with universities in the UK, DACH region, and internationally
- Supervisors or program directors looking for specialist support for practice-based doctoral research
Why Work With Me
With a background in business consulting, applied research, and academic publishing, I understand both worlds—and speak the language of both. My approach is grounded, practical, and doctoral-examiner aware.
If you’re pursuing a doctorate that doesn’t just analyze the world, but aims to improve it, let’s work together to ensure your research is as impactful in practice as it is in theory.
