Mission NXT - your subscription to the global forces that will define the future

What’s it all about?

In this brand-new annual membership program, Peter Hinssen, Pascal Coppens and their renowned international guests - John Hagel, Brett King, Costas Markides, Shannon Lucas and many more - will discuss a number of major business trends through a global and geopolitical lens: from the future of finance, energy and healthcare to networked organizations, the 300 billion gaming economy, the latest evolutions in China and many more exciting subjects. “More and more companies are feeling the impact of what is happening elsewhere in the world. This was obviously already the case before the corona pandemic, but that trend is only getting stronger," explains Peter. “The time to transform these disruptions into opportunities is now.”

Who’s it for?

Mission NXT is aimed at strategic thinkers in management and boards of directors who work in an international context and where geopolitics is (or should be) an important point of discussion.
