Imagine and create your own future
More detailed information
In these times of ever-faster innovation, the impact on us as human beings and on the future of work is often overwhelming.
In this often provocative keynote, Katja Schipperheijn looks at the future that already seems to have caught up with us. Often inspired by the more than 15,000 children she had in her workshops, she brings innovations like ChatGPT, but also hyperreal alternative worlds, in which we can live, work and learn. In the learning ecosystems she outlines, she combines 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 enter this new world with the MetaHuman creator, digital contact lenses or even brain implants?
Based on the book Leaning Ecosystems, finalist best international business book, this lecture is ideally suited to executives who want to create the future themselves now through continuous improvement, innovation and a learning culture with engaged employees.
