Isabel De Clercq

Who is Isabel De Clercq?

Creating a spark. Inspiring people. Translating an infectious vision of the future into practice. That is what Isabel does best. 

She began her career at university. And it was there, in that academic context, that her interest in self-leadership, productivity, knowledge-sharing and the power of technology was awakened. 

Her substantive expertise was honed in the various roles she took up at Wolters Kluwer Belgium, first as a sales manager, then as a change manager and later as a content marketing officer. At the start of Het Nieuwe Werken (The New Way of Working) in 2012, she launched the successful online community ‘About The Future of Work’. In 2015, she responded to the Digital Workplace wave by setting up conferences and workshops. She then expanded her network worldwide. 

Isabel's passion for self-leadership, lifelong learning and productivity through technology was so great that she was compelled to publish a book about it. Social Technologies in Business appeared in 2017. She co-wrote it with an international team of authors that she had carefully assembled. The book was such a success that it was also published by the prestigious German publishing house, Frankfurter Allgemeine Buch, with the resounding title Vernetzt Arbeiten. 

After the publication of the book, Isabel started up her own organisation. She is a frequent speaker on such topics as knowledge-sharing, asynchronous collaboration and Hybrid Working, both in Belgium and abroad. She draws the content of her keynote speeches from her daily experience as a consultant. 

Her strength? That subtle balance between vision and reality, inspiration and practice, fun and seriousness. Between a friendly, nuanced message and a solid 'kick in the ass'.
 

  • Hybrid Working: a necessity or an opportunity?

    HR & Wellbeing

    How will we deal with working from home after the pandemic? How can we guarantee connection in times of physical distancing? Which organisations embrace Hybrid Working and why? 

    Isabel gives you a refreshing look at other ways of working together after the pandemic. She happily tackles a number of clichés and puts forward concrete solutions. Aids and tools for individuals, teams and organisations. 

    Some quotes from the keynote speech:

    • Hybrid Working is not the goal in itself. The goal is a combination of more job satisfaction and increased efficiency. 
    • The key to success is a healthy balance between synchronous and asynchronous collaboration. Being able to clear your head in order to focus on an issue is a good example of this. 
    • The corona crisis has made it painfully clear that employees do not feel connected to the organisation. The culprit is not the working from home. Working from home was just the messenger. 
    • The first question that a team should ask itself is not: why are we physically meeting together? But rather: what are our high-value activities, have we proactively planned time for them and for which activities is a synchronous presence necessary?
