Guido Stompff, Senior Designer, Océ Technologies
Guido Stompff is senior designer at Océ Technologies, a large multinational company based in the Netherlands providing solutions for the management of documents, including printers, scanners, software applications and extensive services. The large in-house design department is embedded within R&D, meaning that the designers are actively involved and integrated within the development teams, directed strongly to both the products and the business strategy. Océ has a long design history and an acclaimed reputation, resulting in numerous international design awards.
Through reflection upon the role of design within product development, Guido Stompff became aware of what design mediates within organizations, specifically how design can bridge the thought worlds of brand and product development. He lectures at several universities, and has had several publications in a variety of subjects. Since 2006, he has been a PhD candidate, exploring in depth how design can contribute towards creating a shared understanding in collaborative development teams, using models derived from social psychology on both organizational culture and sense-making.
