< back The Guide to the Ecosystem Economy Unveiling the Blueprint for Sustainable Business Success More detailed information The buzz around 'ecosystems' grows louder by the day. While some dismiss it as mere hype, others see it as the inevitable evolution fueled by big data and technological advancements. In times of economic turbulence, stability is coveted, and companies are joining forces, pooling their expertise to forge innovative solutions for the future. Ecosystems, in essence, are interconnected businesses collaborating within a network to deliver value to customers. It's not just a passing trend; it's a transformative movement. Rik unveils the diverse array of ecosystems, illustrating how they all share common foundational elements and dynamics. These elements coalesce to form a responsive, adaptive organism tailored to thrive in the contemporary business landscape. The outcome is an anti-fragile system, resilient and enduring. Every company possesses the fundamental components to metamorphose into an ecosystem; what's needed is the impetus to set the wheels in motion. Enter 'the double flywheel'—the clandestine force propelling ecosystem evolution. In his keynote, 'The Guide to the Ecosystem Economy,' Rik navigates the intricacies of ecosystems, elucidating the building blocks, momentum, and the double flywheel. He demystifies the fundamental principles governing ecosystem operations and offers actionable insights to translate theory into tangible outcomes. With a blend of big data, AI, genetic algorithms, and unwavering customer focus, Rik delivers an electrifying surge of inspiration and motivation.

< back Managers the Day after Tomorrow What management should be like in these disruptive times More detailed information What is the best strategy for the digital world? How can you deal with unpredictability? How is it possible, both as an entrepreneur and as an enterprise, to keep in sync with the outside world, the world of technology and the world of the consumer? Where do you focus your attention? Which of the countless possibilities do you explore? How can you redesign your company to make it sustainably relevant? Which technological wave do you need to surf? What do you have to build up and what do you have to tear down? …, it is a feature of our rapidly changing world that there is no longer a single answer to any of these questions. The moment you give one, you already need to think about how you can best modify it. It is impossible to work with a prefab design when developing a strategy for the digital world. You need to build systematically, block by block, adjusting and amending as you go, so that you can keep up with the changing fashions and opportunities of the day. The questions that Rik wanted to answer in his book are more relevant than ever before as the changes in the outside world and those of the consumer are more devastating than we could ever have imagined in 2018. The waves of change are not only driven by technology but are being amplified by the disruptive force of a virus that has killed the world as we have known it for many decades in just a couple of weeks. And that has created room for a completely new world of unknown ecosystems, business models and customer behaviour. In this keynote, Rik re-visits his book and re-defines what management should be like for Managers in this New Day After Tomorrow.

Rik delves into the positive, negative, and downright ugly consequences of our technological advancement.

< back How to still be relevant for people and society in 2035? How businesses can create short and long term value for their customers while also achieving their own sustainable business objectives. Practical advice for businesses looking to create sustainable competitive advantage in the economy of the future. More detailed information Rik is convinced that the next 10 to 15 years will be a unique period in time (The Twilight Twenties) in which the old will slowly fade away, a new society and economy will take shape and companies will experience the new. In this keynote, Rik shares a story about the history of the future. How did we get here, and what were the dynamics that shaped the present? Where do we go from here? And what does that mean for companies and the people who shape them? In the past ten years, Rik has consistently proven (through his books, columns, blogs and during many keynotes) that he can predict how people, society and the business environment will evolve. This evolution is not necessarily linear or created thanks to a hype, it is always a dynamic storm of many factors that interact. The examples often followed months or even years later. Rik therefore never zooms in on just one single aspect, such as technology, HR, customer centricity or a specific part of the value chain. None of these aspects make sense without taking their connection to the others into account, as industry boundaries blur or disappear and value chains change dramatically. Companies have to adapt and want to reposition themselves. Rik wants to include them in the story ‘how to still be relevant to people and society in 2035’ to show them how to do so. The keynote is always tailored to the event, industry, audience or context. In addition, it is a lively, energetic and practical session to give you the tools you need to add value to your customers or organisation in the future.

< back AI: opportunity or threat? Embracing AI for Future Success More detailed information We must swiftly grasp the importance of human intervention and the vast potential of the future: the collaboration between humans and AI. The primary challenge ahead lies in mastering the art of cooperation between these two entities. Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents a branch of computer science that empowers machines to undertake tasks typically associated with human intelligence. These tasks range from speech recognition and image processing to data-driven decision-making. AI enables computers to learn from experience and enhance their performance in task execution. However, it's crucial to understand that AI, contrary to science fiction portrayals, lacks consciousness or the ability to develop its own will. Its operations are confined within the parameters of its programming and the data it receives. Like any technology, AI has its dual nature: the beneficial and the detrimental aspects. With these insights, Rik Vera explores the concept of dual usage in AI. It's imperative to recognize that AI can serve as both a significant force for good and a potential source of harm, with a spectrum of consequences in between. AI holds the potential to positively impact society by assisting in medical diagnoses, optimizing traffic management, fostering innovation, and enhancing efficiency across various sectors. Nevertheless, we must remain vigilant about its potential for misuse, such as spreading misinformation, orchestrating cyberattacks, influencing elections, or even developing autonomous weapons systems. Let's not overlook the "ugly" aspects, as Rik aptly terms them—the unintended consequences or side effects of AI usage. Algorithmic bias, leading to unintentional discriminatory decisions, and job displacement due to automation are among the concerns we must address. Given these intricacies, it's evident that confronting the significant challenges facing humanity, society, and businesses necessitates optimizing numerous interconnected variables in a complex and ever-evolving equilibrium. Humans are not naturally adept at this task, which is where AI emerges as an invaluable ally in the form of augmented intelligence. In his keynote, "Is AI an opportunity or threat?" Rik will delve into AI's impact on businesses and demonstrate how companies can embrace AI and prepare for the imminent future. Being prepared for augmented intelligence and staying ahead of the competition is paramount. Rik will unveil actionable steps that businesses can implement today to seize a leading position. Therefore, if you aspire to be well-equipped for the era of augmented intelligence and gain a significant competitive edge, make sure not to miss this keynote.
