What Previous Students Say
Simon - Experience Lead
Gary's GRAMS framework- a structured and rapid way of running and decoding user interviews has become the de facto standard within our office
Emiel - EO
Gary ran a workshop at our EO retreat and his GRAMS framework was extremely insightful to decode the customer experience for the Startups. Multiple founders are now using his GRAMS framework and are seeing impressive results!
Wana - Founder of Ullabelle
Gary led a workshop on his proprietary customer research techniques for our group and my mind was blown. he has immense knowledge on how to get to the core of your customers problems and work towards creating a solution.
Mariam - Brand Strategist
This course has been my favorite since I started studying ever. I loved everything about it, and I feel sad that it’s over. I would’ve loved it if all classes were this enjoyable and instructive. Truly, one of my best experiences ever, I have learnt a lot
Maite - Design Strategy
Not only the content was very interesting and applicable, but the session itself had a super clear and engaging structure.
In fact, it is so applicable that I have already absorbed the content and used it in a Design Sprint session with the team.
Olga - UX researcher
I would like to thank you for today's lecture. Not only was the theory very interesting and clearly presented, but the opportunity to try it out immediately with afterward's commentary was extremely beneficial! I could openly tell you that it was the most interesting lecture I've seen throughout the year.

Gary van Broekhoven
University Lecturer, Consumer Psychologist + Behavioural Architect
Honoured as a 2024 Master Teacher of the Year nominee and ex VP of Innovation at DMI, I’ve spent 27 years helping global teams decode game-changing insights and design for behaviour change through powerful frameworks like GRAMS and NOREX, now recognised in academia and innovation.
I’ve worked on projects in patient adherence with doctors across Europe, partnered with brands like Springer and Sanofi, and supported founder networks like EO and YPO. I’ve also collaborated with world-class consultancies like IDEO, Designit, and Fjord.
Now, as part of my mid-life crisis, I've decided to take a year off and share all the frameworks I know first-hand that work in a wide range of situations and sectors. I've seen enough damage done to this world - it’s time to empower the right people!
