Keynotes

Keynote/Workshop by Speaker Robert Overweg: Adaptable Mindset program

WHY

With the Adaptable Mindset program you learn to imagine other worlds, to think freely again, create a calm mind, and find joy in life and work. While at the same time get the tools to bring your ideas into reality. You can learn people new skills and new tools, but the shift in mindset is the biggest block to successful transformations. (Mc Kinsey)

Mindset is often overlooked. What people think and feel, fixed beliefs, deeply held assumptions and blind spots; and emotionally, in the form of the fear and insecurity that change engenders. All of this rolls up into our mindset, which reflects how we see the world, what we believe and how that makes us feel. (HBR)

HOW

Use the full richness of life (art, philosophy, games, movies, science) as fuel for innovation and life. This will help you to develop the mental dexterity that you need to spot new ideas, and to be open to them.  Create a calm and focused mind. Learn to mitigate stress and filter the noise to create freedom to think. Break free of limitations. No more fear of failure or the feeling of being overwhelmed.

This program can be customised to your needs. Use our proven techniques and tools to put your ideas into reality. Based on actual experience with start-up and corporate innovation.

Keynote by Speaker Robert Overweg: Build teams for ‘radical innovation’ to save your company’s creativit

For most companies that have been around for a while, rigidity and corporate processes eventually creep into the system. They slowly start to see innovation as simply the next iteration of an existing product or service. Resulting in just iterative ‘innovation’ which isn’t a sustainable way for a business to stay ahead.
If someone is working on something that could potentially disrupt your business, it better be you. In order to achieve this, you’ll need teams that have a radical mindset and are hungry for disruption. A team that works according to the principles of radical innovation.

Having worked in the trenches of innovation, Robert has learned a lot from building his own teams towards a company of 160 people and building teams at Vodafone, Liberty Global, Ebay and many others.

In this presentation speaker Robert Overweg will show you what type of people you should have in your teams, how to streamline innovation by setting goals that give direction, in addition to discussing Amazon’s and Google’s surprising approach to the use of data in innovation. And finally he will provide you with the principles you need to make radical innovation thrive — all the while making sure you have some fun along the way.

An adaptable mindset: create the right mindset for innovation
With over a decade of experience in innovation, speaker Robert Overweg found out that fixed mindsets are often at the root cause for unsuccessful innovation and many people subconsciously are against creativity and innovation. At the same time, however, the world keeps on evolving with new technologies and changing markets every few months.

To fix these issues,  Robert founded the Adaptable Mindset program in collaboration with the University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam to help people become free, creative and to help them see opportunities. Use the full richness of life (art, philosophy, games, movies, science) as fuel for innovation and life. This will help you to develop the mental dexterity that you need to spot new ideas, and to be open to them.  Create a calm and focused mind. Learn to mitigate stress and filter the noise to create freedom to think. Break free of limitations. No more fear of failure or the feeling of being overwhelmed.

Speaker Robert Overweg doesn’t just run and build innovation teams and startups. He also gives lectures at MIT, SXSW and the European Commission about the balance between mankind and technology. He also held exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou and the media biennial in Seoul.

Robert is a speaker who offers a diverse and broad range of inspiration which surely move your teams forward. If you are still in doubt, check out a few testimonials! Be sure to expect a very visual and fast paced presentation – that opens the mind but also delivers with real practical things you can apply, directly.
