Jef Staes (Belgium, 1956) is an authority and thought leader on learning processes, innovation and culture change. With decennia of professional experience, he currently assists CEO’s and managers to find a comprehensive answer to the changing dynamics of today’s market. Jef does not shy away from confrontation! With a vast range of new insights and metaphors, he illustrates why managers and policymakers often reach the wrong decisions and even obstruct change processes.
Jef answers a crucial question: “Why don’t organisations learn and innovate fast enough?”. Based on his career as a software designer (GTE ATEA in Belgium & USA), training Manager and Corporate Learning Officer (Siemens, Belgium), he not only awakens people, but also presents them with a unique concept to guide them through the necessary changes.
He is a passionate and inspirational keynote speaker and author. His story is a guaranteed eye-opener and his thoughts on the future of business and education inspire many. With striking metaphors, he tackles the most fundamental issues organisations struggle with.

Our environment is switching from a flat 2D world to a 3D habitat that is chaotic and ever changing. We have been carried from an information drought to an information flood. For the first time in our history, people with a passion for their talents can learn at every moment. Their learning power is limited only by their learning competences. This shift in learning is dividing people into two groups: the 2D-smarts and the 3D-smarts. The 2D-smarts are people who learn(ed) and work(ed) based on discipline and intelligence. They went to school for a diploma and went to work with a function description. The 3D-Smarts go for fusion between work and learning. They do 3D-smarting. They continuously learn while working based on their passion to do. They are the driving force behind the ever-increasing powers of disruptive innovation and evolution. They will win ‘the battle of the species’.
Education and companies need to embrace 3D-smarting. This change will be dramatic because 3D-organisations need executive and management competences that are based on completely different talents than those needed in 2D-organisations. This Pre-Conference Workshop is not only a plea for a dramatic change in the organisation of work and education, but will also present ‘Red Monkey Innovation Management’ as a holistic strategy to embed real learning and disruptive innovation in your organisation. After this session 2D, 3D, 3D-smarting, Jeff’s Law, 3D-innovation, power defect, and Red Monkeys will be branded in your brain. You will learn to love learning. You will ignite culture innovation.
Target audience
Everyone who is interested in evolution in working and learning. There is no level of expected/required level of expertise … it’s new for all of us.
Outcomes
Participants will go home with a completely different view on working and learning.
