Her book The learnScape, learning as oxygen for the agile organisation (Pelckmans 2021), is thought-provoking. It focuses on the symbiosis of human and machine to allow organisations to grow from human talent. This book, which was a success as soon as it was launched, was taken over by Kogan Page for worldwide publication. Her most recent book is Learning Ecosystems.

    Learning Ecosystems and intelligent collaborations in a symbiosis of human and machine

    Inspirational and thought-provoking keynote about the opportunities that our hyper-connected and ever-faster changing world offers to encourage continuous growth and life-long learning. Practical insights into ecosystem thinking and intelligent human-machine collaborations that can be used to improve personal and organisational growth.

    EdTech, LearnTech, MadTech … Whatever Tech? What will help us to keep up in this ever-faster changing world.

    Will technology help us bridge the skill gaps or will it be more the catalyst that widens the gap? This keynote takes you into the world of new innovations that support learning. You will be forced to reflect on the impact of human-centric innovations and ethics. We learn how technology in a human-machine narrative should help us to be more human as the world becomes more virtual.

    Consilience: wat kunnen we van kinderen leren om de toekomst van werk te creëren?

    This motivational yet slightly provocative keynote takes you into the world of our children. A world where connection and virtual worlds are the new normal. What can we learn from them in order to be prepared for the future of work? What are the skills and abilities that children have naturally that we should be looking for in our employees in order to develop a growth mindset culture in our organisation.

    A Learning Mindset in the Age of Innovation

    Unleash potential with a learning mindset supported by emerging innovations

    In this often provocative keynote, Katja Schipperheijn inspires to adopt a learning mindset to thrive in this increasingly fast-changing world. Young talent, experienced employees, and senior executives all face the pressure of constantly needing to keep up and learn new ways of working. This often leads to employee frustration and insecurity and sometimes even burnout.  Yet many forget that neither skills nor competencies alone determine employee potential. A learning mindset, both on a personal and organizational level, sees change as an opportunity to innovate and excel together through continuous improvement. 

    This keynote, which delves into fostering a learning mindset in the context of emerging innovations like generative AI, can be extended to incorporate a workshop that establishes the groundwork for a culture of continuous learning within the organization.

Passion unleashed! Katja is clear, driven and visionary on stage. She has managed to look beyond stereotypes and focuses on reality and the future of digital citizenship. Really enjoyed her presentation!
