Jef Staes
EOI Academy, Belgium
“Why don’t organisations learn and innovate fast enough?”
Jef Staes offers an answer to this question. As a thought leader in the fields of learning and innovation management, he analyses the way in which people resist and even obstruct change processes. And 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.
Expert
Jef Staes (Belgium, 1956) is one of the leading experts on these topics in Belgium and is quickly gaining international respect for his energizing mindset. He currently assists organizations in their quest to find a comprehensive answer and approach to the changing dynamics of today’s world. Based on his career as a software designer (GTE ATEA in Belgium & USA), training Manager and Corporate Learning Officer (Siemens, Belgium), he gained practical insights in the dynamics of organizational development.
Speaker
Jef Staes is often the keynote speaker on various topics concerning culture innovation and this for a diverse audience (conferences, education, in-company, ...). He has given hundreds of keynotes, both in English and Dutch. Furthermore, he’s a visiting lecturer at several Management schools (Vlerick, UAMS, EHSAL). His refreshing stories are guaranteed eye-openers and his new look at the role of managers has inspired many.
Author
He is also the author of a number of books on the topics of innovation and change management. One of which, “My Organisation is a Jungle”, was also translated to English. Through the use of rich metaphors and exciting parallels, he truly engages you in the story of the Red Monkey. Other books in the series, “My Manager is a Hero” & "I was a Sheep" continue the story and are often featured in Jef's speeches. All books have been bestselling publications with over 15.000 copies sold.

Content
The world is changing faster and faster. From a flat 2D-World to a chaotic and ever changing 3D-World. Organisations, companies, schools and regions should adapt to this 3D-World and need to increase their power to learn and innovate dramatically. They must become ‘Engines of Innovation’. Uncertainty has to be replaced by intuitive certainty.
Today’s organisations and companies, however, are not able to create the right learning and working environment that enables and energizes disruptive innovation by using passion for talent. We must rethink the organisation of working and learning. We must boldly go for disruptive business innovation powered by disruptive culture innovation.
Based on 30 years of experience in learning & development, Jef Staes developed a holistic mindset that gives guidance to the development of learning & innovating organisations. During this pre-conference workshop, Jef will disrupt the mind of the participants in how they think about learning and working. Watch this video for an idea of the different topics that will be discussed and how you can prepare: https://vimeo.com/233650179. Today we need heroes with a new mindset. We can’t solve the problems of today with the mindset that created these problems.
