Gerard Vonk is trainer and consultant in the field of creative/lateral thinking and team effectiveness. Creative thinking is a simple, but highly effective tool to find immediately applicable solutions to often enduring problems. He deploys a large number of creative tools to show that our ‘normal’ logical thinking is incarcerated in patterns that lead to a narrowed field of vision. Thanks to these creative tools he converts problems and bottlenecks into opportunities and possibilities. He works with creative tools for developing new ideas and inspiring environments, thus creating true commitment to projects through a common vision and mission.

Gerard Vonk is owner of VONK&VLAM, co-creator of Flow&Go, he is lecturer at the Institute of Facility Management (Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen) and a senior trainer / advisor at Merlijn.
