GRASPING THE EXPONENTIAL
POWER OF AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most transformative technologies of our time, and it is changing the way we do business.
AI is transforming the fields of marketing, innovation, sales, and customer service, providing highly efficient tools and enabling personalized strategies.
However, embracing AI is not just about investing in technology. It's about embracing the 3P's: how will this impact people, processes, and the choice of platforms?

How do you win in a world accelerated by artificial intelligence, immersive virtual environments, and blockchain technologies?

BUILDING ENGAGED COMMUNITIES FOR GROWTH
The future of business lies in the 'CLG' (Community Led Growth) model, where the community is at the center. By putting the needs and desires of the community first, businesses can foster greater engagement and loyalty, leading to sustainable growth in the long term.
By looking at some of the most successful communities, business leaders can take inspiration to implement the key elements of building a strong and vibrant community for their own initiatives.
“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.

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.
