We live in extreme times with breathtaking opportunities and staggering responsibilities.
At the Megatrends Academy we support leaders in making sense of the changes going on around them and translating these insights into actionable strategies. We do this through megatrends research, workshops, online programs, consulting, coaching, and keynotes.
“No plan survives the contact with the enemy” the Prussian General Helmuth von Moltke wrote in 1871. And everybody who ever created a strategy plan knows how true that is. But what planning does is it gives you a good feel for the terrain and your own strengths and weaknesses in it. So, when the future arrives you are much quicker to react, much faster to adapt, much more precise in your answer to the unfolding reality.
I help organizations to build meaningful plans and how to combine these with approaches that keep the organization (and the plan) agile.
Leadership is about making things happen in socials systems, i.e. through and with others. A strategy is about winning in the market place through playing to the strengths of your organization and developing new ones.

This is what I aim for when I give keynotes: an enthused audience that is inspired – not just informed. The topics are (surprise, surprise) megatrends, artificial intelligence, corporate agility and leadership. Find out more.
I deliver customized programs for companies, online programs and live masterclasses on the interface of megatrends, corporate agility and leadership. Wherever needed I draw on my vast network in the business school and executive education world to design and deliver programs. In particular I work with THNK in Amsterdam, TAI in New York.
Please check out my ‘AI Business Essence Workshop’ and my ‘Megatrends Essence Workshop’. Both are express pathways to learn the absolute must-knows about new trends and technologies. They are intense, highly-condensed, very applied and focused on ‘how do I use it on Monday?’. The ‘espresso’ of workshops, so to say. No pre-knowledge is required. The next one is: The Artificial Intelligence Essence Workshop.
In our blog we cover topics such as:
