The future of work

This talk is an exploration of the themes that underlie the tectonic shifts in the world of work. A journey into the explosive mix of rapidly changing technology, business, economy and society and the questions that arise for all of us.

What does this mean for how we are going to work in the future? Will we continue to work at all? What is the impact of the large platforms on our work? What about robots and Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Are we humans being pushed out of the labor market? Is the basic income a good idea?

One thing is clear in all of this uncertainty. If we want to create a future that works for everyone, we have to put "being human" at the center of our work.
And being human is something that we do together.

The collaborative advantage

Leaders and innovators in organizations are confronted with issues that can no longer be solved in the usual ways. Innovation in a continuously faster changing and more complex environment is extremely hard. More and more organizations are actively looking for the next level of organizational intelligence. Organization & innovation must go hand in hand as a key to renewal and transformation. This talk gives an overview on the new organizing principles that emerge when we embrace the worldview of interconnectedness and complexity thinking.  The reality that has been staring us in the face but we could not see. 

The collaborative advantage

AI is the most transformational technology invented in the history of mankind. It is named the new electricity with more impact then the written word. At an exponential pace it finds its way into our products, services, our work, our social relationships, and slowly our entire life.
These developments force us to face some major questions. Do we actually understand what is happening? When and how does it affect your organization? How do we organize ourselves in an AI-driven world? Are we heading towards a tech driven utopia? Ultimately this requires from us to consider what it means to be human in this tech driven world.
This talk gives paints a picture of the true extent of this revolution, considers it with the necessary suspicion and encourages you to think.
Be surprised and get some grip on what's coming.

''Elfried is een inspirerende spreker, gepassioneerd door technologie, mens en business impact. Hij brengt zijn verhaal op een heldere manier. Je hangt aan zijn lippen en blijft tot het einde geboeid. Zowel op inhoud als de manier waarop, een zeer inspirerende en waardevolle ervaring en een stuk wijzer geworden, mede door zijn scherpe en vernieuwende inzichten''

 

"Het gebeurt niet vaak dat men stil valt bij een lezing. Stil, omdat de gepresenteerde werkelijkheid bijna te omvangrijk is. Omdat het publiek overdondert wordt door tal van feiten en voorbeelden die overtuigend in samenhang worden gevisualiseerd en daarmee de nabije toekomst laten zien. Het verbaast, schokt, prikkelt, enthousiasmeert en zet aan tot denken over wat te gaan doen met deze nieuwe kennis. Een ‘must experience’!"

 

'Elfried is in staat om met zeer aansprekende voorbeelden, materiaal en zijn verhaal, je echt aan het denken te zetten.De toekomst is nu en al begonnen. Het is niet alleen een verhaal over wat gaat er allemaal komen qua technologie, wat zorgt voor inspiratie. Maar maakt vooral de schakel daarin om wat kunnen wij als mensen en jijzelf daarin doen. Hoe kunnen wij anders met elkaar communiceren en omgaan om het verschil te maken.''
