Innovation Tours

What will the future look like?

How will we live? 

How will we work? 

And what can I do Today to keep me relevant in The Day After Tomorrow?

Every last one of us has asked himself these questions. But they are even more relevant for the young women and men who will define that future. That's why we want to take them and their parents on a trip to the Future, so that we can all start building it together.

And how it could very well be coming for your industry. 

Yes. The world is changing radically and technologies are defining the pace. No, it won’t all pass by. It will shift industries, it will alter business models, it has changed us as individuals and it will question the world’s power equilibrium. In times of change, fear is not wise advice. Look at the creativity ignited by emergent technologies.

Yes. The world is changing radically and technologies are defining the pace. No, it won’t all pass by. It will shift industries, it will alter business models, it has changed us as individuals and it will question the world’s power equilibrium. In times of change, fear is not wise advice. Look at the creativity ignited by emergent technologies. The potential it has to impact the future of business, of food, of health, of finance, of … you.

The way we buy has made a 360° degree turn. Shoppers jump enthusiastically between touchpoints in this phygital world. From online to offline and back. They expect you to know them. They expect you to surprise them. They expect you to care. Oh yes, and then there’s those who have stopped buying your products…they prefer to hire them via the sharing economy.

We loved organizing this healthcare innovation tour for one of the biggest international pharmaceutical companies in the world. As requested by them, we amazed, inspired and sparked their C-level staff with some of the most disruptive healthcare companies out there. We helped them return with a fresh perspective and renewed energy so that they could enchant their own customers.

We took the winners of a 'most innovative company' contest, organised by an internationally renowned bank, to San Francisco to give them some of their own medicine. During an intensive 4-day tour we brought them in touch with some of the top-of-the-league innovators in Silicon Valley at the moment. "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower" Steve Jobs once said. We hope we were able to inspire these inspiring companies to keep pushing the innovation boundaries and to become and stay leaders in their respective industries. 

We fitted this intense 3-day tour into the travel scheme of one of our good clients, a telecom provider. They flew in from Las Vegas, ready to be amazed by the power of the valley. We tailored together a diverse program of speakers and workshops, ranging from exceptional content providers to top game consultants to spark their Day after Tomorrow thinking. Rough disruptive waters may lie ahead, and the lines between markets are fading, but the right innovative and holistic mindset will sail you to tomorrow.
