Best Keynote Presentations

These are just a few of the hand-crafted presentations
that I have made as a keynote speaker. For a full overview of all
my earlier works, please refer to my presentations at SlideShare

Agility Scales

To survive as a company, the organization needs to become a shapeshifter: sometimes hierarchical, sometimes networked; sometimes efficient, sometimes effective; sometimes great at execution, and other times great at innovation. You can only achieve this by motivating people to change continuously. To achieve this, we take a closer look at gamification and habit-forming. Because games and habits are the keys to intrinsic motivation and change. And you need those in your company to become a great shapeshifter!

Managing for Happiness

The research is clear: happy workers are more productive workers. Managing for Happiness is about concrete management advice for all workers. Practical things that people can do next Monday morning in order to make the organization a happier place to work, with people who run experiments and drive innovation. In this session, you will see how to manage the system, not the people. This is not only relevant for managers, but for everyone who is concerned about the organization.

Champfrogs

The number one issue that employees in agile organizations struggle with is “organizational culture”. The biggest challenge that managers of agile organizations struggle with is “change management”. It turns out that this is actually the same problem. Changing an organization’s culture, by changing people’s behaviors, is most successful when you target people’s intrinsic desires. Using my champfrogs model for intrinsic motivation, I show you how you can get any colleague or customer to do what you want.

Management 3.0 Workout

Management 3.0 Workout is about concrete management advice. Practical things that people can do next Monday morning, in order to grow an organization that is fit and healthy. And not only managers, but everyone who is concerned about the organization. Because, management is too important to leave to the managers. The whole organization should participate in the workout.

Let’s Help Melly

Many people in the world don’t really like their jobs. And most organizations are not healthy. They are badly prepared for increasing complexity and changing environments. Complexity thinking suggests we should seek a diversity of conflicting perspectives. It explains that organizations need experiments. And it says most innovation happens by stealing and tweaking existing ideas.

Blueprint for a Tribal Business

Does a company really need a head office? The new organizational structure of the 21st century is the network, not the hierarchy. And the focus of management should be on leadership, not governance. But how can you organize this?

How to Change the World

When transforming organizations and other social systems we encounter obstacles. These obstacles often involve changing other people’s behaviors. Of course, we cannot really make people behave in a different way. But… we can certainly try!
