Keynote by Katja Schipperheijn

Metaverse, has the future caught up with us?

Will those who have not yet joined the Metaverse miss out on potentially great opportunities?

What still seems like a children’s game to many, is already a harsh reality for millions of creators of this new universe.

These hyperreal alternative worlds, in which we can live, work and learn, combine technologies such as augmented reality, virtual reality, video and 3D holographic avatars with NFLs and blockchain.   Bringing these new digital innovations together creates unprecedented combinations that offer possibilities beyond our imagination.

Will we all soon be entering this virtual world with the MetaHuman creator, digital contact lenses or even brain implants? What can the Metaverse mean for my organisation? How should I as a parent or business owner react to a world where the boundaries of virtual and real seem to merge?

These are just some of the questions that will be addressed in this thought-provoking but inspiring keynote will be tailored to the audience and can be given along with sections from keynotes such as “What can we learn from children to create the future of work?” or “LearnScapes, EdTech, MarkTech whatever Tech?”.

Keynote by Katja Schipperheijn

Continuous improvement through innovation and learning ecosystems

LearnScapes where innovation, data orientation, ecosystem thinking, growth mindset and employee engagement meet.

In these times of increasingly rapid innovation, the impact on us as people, as employees and for our organisations is often overwhelming.  A positive mindset towards innovation and learning is therefore the best way not to be left behind, and more so, to help shape the uncertain future ourselves.  In this often provocative and very inspiring keynote, we look at a future that often seems to have caught up with us. In doing so, we draw inspiration from innovations that support learning and growth, as well as from children who embody the future of work.

Based on the book Leaning Ecosystems, finalist best international business book at the business book awards, this lecture is ideally suited for executives who want to work on a future-oriented continuous improvement strategy. An adapted format is also very interesting as an inspirational talk for employees. Here, the objective is to transform the fear they often experience regarding the uncertain future into a growth mindset, enabling them to help shape the learning organisation from their own competences.

This keynote, which is always tailored to the target audience, can also be extended with a workshop for CEO/COO/CXOs or Senior Executives/Leaders in Innovation, HR and L&D. The aim of this workshop is to arrive at implementable innovations (processes and technology) that support the future of work and set the organisation on a path of continuous improvement.

EdTech, LearnTech, MadTech … Whatever Tech

Will technology help us bridge the skill gaps or will it be the catalyst that widens the gap?

This keynote takes you into the world of new innovations that support learning, personal and organizational growth. You will be forced to reflect on the impact of human-centric innovations and ethics. We learn how technology in a human-machine symbiosis should help us to be more human as the world becomes more virtual.

The future is now and delaying innovation makes no sense. This keynote helps to understand an opportunity-based approach to innovation as opposed to a problem-based approach.  It is the ideal starting point for organisations that want to bet on new technology from a holistic approach.

Involvement of all stakeholders is the only way that innovation can land in an agile organisation.  This involvement implies that knowledgeable employees support the implementation. In addition, the transformation must support and anticipate the skill gap of employees.

Technology is never the answer, people are. This keynote can be part of an executive workshop on transformation around human capital and technology.

What can we learn from children to create the future of work?

This motivational yet slightly provocative keynote takes you into the world of our children to shape the future of your organization.

Meta- and virtual worlds have been the old normal for our children for years.  Yet as adults, we mainly see the dangers and are driven by fear of the unknown.  When we enter the world of children, we experience the possibilities that digital citizenship has to offer them. We close the gap between the generations and learn from each other, each with our own background and competences. By emphasising the hypes and hopes of AI and its ethical impact, we point out the responsibilities for us as human beings, as organisations and as society.

This keynote brings together the experience of 4 years of workshops with over 15,000 children and young people.

It is an ideal session to engage employees in digital transformation and the opportunities it offers from a positive perspective.  For the education sector it helps to implement a sustainable vision of learning that supports children in their well-being.

A session that makes us think beyond the limits and invites us to break down barriers and be visionary and creative. I loved the workshops and especially the honesty of the participants’ comments about a future that is already so close to us, that we need to apprehend with agility and a new and current look. Let’s stay beyond the curve and it starts already with this kind of thinking and this inspiring session of today
