We are confident that the solutions to many of these challenges can make cities better places as a whole. Better as a social space, better to do business. Are you with us on this? 

Our strength lies in seeing our clients through the whole process of innovation. From the very first stages of research up to the actual realization of a proposition. 

Just here for part of the ride? Feel free to hop on. We are happy to explore a new playing field for your organization. Just looking to validate or launch a concept? Right there with you. And if you feel you might need something different altogether, we’ll set up an inspiration session.

Getting started can be the hard part. We have a ‘framing workshop’ to address that and help you and your team find a common definition of the problem you want to solve, or where the solution might be found. 

Need some help getting in the right state of mind? Let us take you on an innovation tour. We’ll visit the pioniers in your field, talk to experts you never talked to and you’ll end up finding solutions in places you never knew existed.

Approach & Services

Business Design Agency - Approach & Services

Phase 0

Inspiration session, Framing workshop, Innovation Tour

Phase 1

In order to shed light on the issue from multiple angles, we will be talking to pioneers, experts and people that are directly involved or impacted.

Phase 2

We synthesize the outcome of the exploration phase with the client. The result is a visual representation of our findings and solution directions.

Service design: the tools and mindset to engage these processes and bring about behavioral change.

Phase 3

We design solution directions with end users and pioneers, and let innovative, realistic (business) concepts take shape.

Phase 4

We bring the business case, pilot or concept to market, or help the client do this themselves. We help monitor, evaluate and meet requirements for success. 

Business design: realistic concepts and focussing on results in the process so that sustainable and measurable change occurs.

Are you just beginning to see the far-reaching consequences of your decisions? We are here to help you make viable choices that have positive social, ecological and economical impact.

This is Rotterdam. Like every other big city, this place forces us to live together and relate to each other. To take everything and everyone into account. This is where our principals are put to the test on a daily basis. And it’s our mission to make this city, and many others, a better place for all of us. 

We have seen the future of the economy, and it’s local. It is a manageable, sustainable scale. That doesn’t make us anti-profit or against money, it makes us a firm supporter of value in the broadest sense.

We work on new, innovative business models that transform trees and green spaces from cost to benefit. We collaborate with pioneers in this field to bring insights, research and technology to life. Literally.

We actively engage with the people we work with and create for. We bring energy, positivity, analytical skills and design thinking to tackle complex issues. All to see innovative solutions come to life, and improve the city in meaningful ways.

Never miss a thing; subscribe to out newsletter with updates on our projects, interesting cases and another great line up of interesting articles and relevant content.

We are working on a new local economy. We develop new concepts and businesses that challenge the old economy. By competing on other values than just financial.

How can we create more green, future proof working landscapes?

For IVN nature education, Business Design Agency is asked to take a seat in the core team that takes the lead in the program 'towards green, climate adaptive and future proof working landscapes'. Our role is to head the green sector with the innovation agenda and align it with the overall strategy of the application for  "Groeifonds".

From grey business parks to green business areas of the future

For over 5 years we’ve been striving for more green in cities. This year we see it really picking up. Bottom-up initiatives have traction; more and more corporates and investors are looking for ways to adapt more green; green companies look for innovative ways to meet changing market demands. 

We hold a strong expertise in the values of flora and fauna.

BDA was growing and this set the agency for a fundamental choice: growing further independently or co-operate with another agency. We wanted to scale faster and work an a system level to have more impact on biodiversity and climate adaptation. Knowledge and drive were there; network and back-up insufficiently. 

In Rebel we've found a good match. Rebel is a strategy and financial consultancy, with more than 250 consultants, international presence, headquartered in Rotterdam. Rebels are entrepreneurial consultants and it roughly consists of a holding with several different ventures, each with their own expertise. Jan Coen van Elburg (founder and managing partner of Rebel Energy) and Mark Bode together founded Rebel Flora & Fauna. We have an international focus on another economic narrative where economy and ecology go hand in hand to improve biodiversity and climate adaptation.

So as per 1 January 2022, you can contact Mark at mark.bode@rebelgroup.com
