The world is changing faster and faster.  From a flat 2D-World to a chaotic and ever-changing 3D-World. Organizations, companies, schools and regions have to adapt to a 3D-World that is flooded with information and need to increase their power to learn and innovate dramatically. Today’s companies however are not able to create the right learning and working environment that enables and energizes disruptive innovation by using the passion and talents of people. We unintentionally transformed talented adults into passionless sheep. We must boldly go for disruptive business innovation powered by disruptive culture innovation. This keynote is a plea for a dramatic change in the organization of work and education. After this session 2D, 3D, 3D-Smarting, Power Defect and Red Monkeys will be branded in your brain. You will become disrupted.
