Masterclass: Build Your Own Future
The Day After Tomorrow has been given a name. It is has become The Day After Covid-19. When the meteorite struck planet earth and killed the dinosaurs in a short period of time, those little rats, that we now call mammals, were already around.
The same is going to happen right now. We are not going to witness a brand new economy or a brand new customer. We are not going to have to interact with that customer in a brand new way. Every aspect of the post-Covid-19 era was already around, but it had to fight the old normal of old business models that were still making money. People and companies that were locked in fixed patterns did not know how to escape the boxes they created themselves.
The Guide to the Ecosystem Economy
The Guide to the Ecosystem Economy is an engaging keynote based on my best-selling book. This session explores the concept of ecosystems, their significance in shaping the future, and how to build or join one. Attendees will learn the key building blocks and important dos and don’ts. The keynote equips leaders with the knowledge and tools to navigate and succeed in the evolving ecosystem economy.

This session focuses on integrating these goals into both communications and the core of the organization. Attendees will learn strategies to weave sustainability into their corporate culture and operations, ensuring that ESG principles are a central part of their organizational identity, not just messaging.
