TOGETHER WE
BUILD THE FUTURE
HI, I'M DADO.
Leading expert in the digital sector, frequent speaker, author and entrepreneur.
I was born in the 80’s and raised with a Gameboy in hand 🎮, fueling my lifelong passion for technology—a passion I turned into my work.
I studied Computer Sciences at the University of Ghent and have been helping organisations define their digital innovation vision and strategy for over 15 years. I’ve been involved in multiple international companies, startups and advisory boards.
Today, I’m a published author of 5 business books on the rise of technology, guest professor in business schools and a public speaker on the topic 🎤
As a proud father of three Gen Alpha kids, I keep a finger on the pulse of everything tech-related, shaping the future of work and play.

LEADING IN
THE EXPONENTIAL AGE OF AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most transformative technologies of our time, and it is changing the way we do business and run organisations.
AI is transforming the fields of marketing, innovation, sales, HR, finance, IT, and customer service, providing highly efficient tools and enabling personalized strategies.
However, embracing AI is not just about investing in technology. Will we dare to see beyond the technology and ask: how will this reshape our people, processes, and platforms?
SCALE vs SOUL: HOW TO WIN WHEN EVERYONE PLAYS AI?
In an era where AI scales faster and thinks quicker, the question isn't just what machines can do, but what we as humans and organisations still uniquely bring to the table.
How can we harness AI’s 100x power without losing our human touch? What truly sets us
apart from machines, and how do we build organizations that SCALE without losing SOUL?
Technology moves business, Soul moves people. The future truly belongs to those who understand and play with both. Will you be one of them?
THE ORGANISATION
OF THE FUTURE
In an era where AI redefines work and generational shifts accelerate change, the question is how to build something meaningful for all.
How do we create organisations that merge technology with humanity, fostering spaces where both innovation and trust thrive?
A chance to reimagine work and leadership for a world that’s constantly in motion. What defines the new workplace, the next workforce, and the business models that will shape tomorrow?
“There is always a risk when you ask an external speaker to lighten up your event: will it inspire, will it entertain, will the chemistry with the audience work? Dado did tick all the boxes - a great choice he was!”

METASYSTEMS
This book provides organisations with the tools to build mutually beneficial, equal and sincere partnerships. We call them Metasystems. And we believe them to be the most suitable armor for the next decade.
Metasystems are built on trust and purpose. The biggest challenge for organisations is leveraging the human factor again.
"Learning to partner and collaborate may be the most important skill for the survival of mankind. This book makes the case - and then points the direction." Alan Jope, Global CEO Unilever
DIGITAL
TRANSFORMATION
For companies and organisations across all sectors, digital and online activities are no longer just a gimmick. Digital is now changing the essence of an organisation. In order to keep up in a landscape with unprecedented challenges, organisations must integrate digital into their business strategy. Standing idle is no longer an option.
Over the last few years, Dado Van Peteghem helped dozens of organisations across various sectors to prepare themselves for the digital revolution based on the unique Digital Transformation methodology.
CORPORATE
VENTURING
The aim of this book is to provide insights in the different strategies and tactics to accelerate innovation and growth through collaboration, as well as plenty of cases as examples where these methods are successfully applied.
This is not a book for people that are looking for complex innovation theories around venturing. Rather it’s a no-nonsense, ready-to-apply comprehensive guide for creating and reviewing your corporate venturing strategy as a strategic instrument to thrive in this fast changing world.
