Leiderschap & Strategie

Rob Theunissen

How we are entering a new business era

In a world reshaped by rapid technological change, shifting global dynamics, and evolving workplace expectations, the rules of business are being rewritten in real time. What does it take not just to survive—but to lead—through such a profound transformation? This lecture will explore this pivotal moment in business history, uncovering the patterns of past disruptions to illuminate the path ahead. From the critical role of innovation to the deeper structural and cultural shifts required, Rob Theunissen challenges conventional thinking and sparks a provocative conversation.

Rob will dive into how we are entering a new business era, and what we can learn from past inflections to thrive into the next. He will focus on the importance of innovation and the implications for organization, culture as well as leadership, to navigate this time of disruption. He will also compare US and EU companies, based on deep organization data, and how they are setup differently.
