His keynotes focus on the future of work and how to build the organisation of tomorrow using emerging technologies including big data, blockchain, the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence. Dr Van Rijmenam believes that every organisation is a data organisation, which brings massive opportunities but also comes with great responsibilities. His keynotes are targeted at large organisations who understand they have to digitally transform their business, but who do not yet know where to start. His keynotes are perfectly suited as an inspirational opening keynote to give everyone a shared understanding of emerging technologies and how they will change the future of work and have an impact on the organisation of tomorrow.
