She likes to share her first-hand experiences straight from the places where technology is shaping our future. Nancy has over 20 years of experience in how technology was and is transforming society, working for different IT companies, amongst which five years for Microsoft in the Netherlands and Europe. She loves to share her passion for technology and combines that valuable inside information with her experience in training and education. She has always been enthusiastic about people and customer-centric strategies. She likes to focus on how technology influences people’s behaviour and how it helps them to share knowledge and to create and innovate.

In 2016 she joined nexxworks as a partner. She travels the world taking business leaders to innovation hubs like Silicon Valley, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Berlin,… using that first-hand inspiration as a continuous and valuable source, thus keeping the keynote content and examples on the cutting edge of the latest technologies, developments and disruptive new business models. <strong>Keynotes</strong>   <strong>THE X Factor of Customer Centricity</strong> This keynote speech takes the audience on a journey of human change, the effect on organizations and how customer centricity and focusing on Customer Experience (CX) is essential to acquire and retain customers. But the X factor is not only about the customer. An equal focus on Employee Experience (EX) will distinguish great companies from average ones. CX and EX are to go hand in glove for organizations to be successful and this requires a drastic cultural change. One in which processes and procedures need to be rethought from scratch, and where leadership and organizational structure need a thorough make-over. <strong>The Power of AI</strong> In this keynote, Nancy highlights how big data and new technologies have brought us on the cusp of a new Augmented Age that will change not only businesses, but the entire fabric of society as well. She provides an easy to understand overview of what AI is and how it works, based on scientific research, and animated with lively and impressive examples. But most importantly, Nancy will convey what AI can do and how it can contribute to augmenting your business, from gaining exponential improvements in efficiency to acquiring deeper customer knowledge. <strong>Leadership & Digital Transformation in The Beyond</strong> Exponentially evolving technology is transforming the outside world like never before. The world of business, too, is changing at the same speed of light and leaders are having a hard time catching up and moving ahead to thrive in The Beyond.   <strong>KEYNOTES FOR HEALTHCARE:</strong> <strong>Healthcare in The Beyond – Patient Centricity is THE Leading Game</strong> Nothing is more important to us than our health, and it will be the healthcare sector that is going to be redefined completely by technology. The whole of humanity will be affected. Healthcare will be driven much more by consumers than physicians as the patient is taking control of his own health and his own treatment. In this hyperconnected world, any healthcare company needs to become agile and adopt a fluid strategy. This keynote is not only interesting for people from the healthcare sector, but is a perfect example of the positive impact of technology, big data, Artificial Intelligence and robotization. <strong>BIG Tech disrupting Healthcare</strong> Healthcare as an industry is facing systematic changes driven by trends such as shifting demographics, exponential growth of healthcare data, and an increasing administrative burden. The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the need for an answer to these challenges. The big tech companies like FAMGA (Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, & Apple) in the West and BAT (Baidu, Alibaba & Tencent) in the East are continuously looking for ways to leverage their customer base and technology to improve the overall healthcare experience. Both from a consumer AND enterprise perspective are they set up to capture a piece of the multi-trillion global healthcare market. It is high time for any healthcare company to reconsider its position now and in the future.   <strong>Specific Topics</strong> <strong>Healthcare in The Day After Tomorrow – Patient Centricity is THE Leading Game</strong> Nothing is more important to us than our health, and it will be the healthcare sector that is going to be redefined completely by technology. The whole of humanity will be affected. Digital has become the New Normal. Mobile has become the New Normal. So have Big & Small Data, Artificial Intelligence and Networks. This keynote speech thoroughly demonstrates how these technological factors have largely affected human behaviour. Healthcare will be driven much more by consumers than physicians as the patient is taking control of his own health and his own treatment. In this hyperconnected world, any healthcare company needs to become agile and adopt a fluid strategy. We can learn from disrupters, as they put the customer in the center of everything they do. Patient centricity will be THE leading game. A new mindset is key to survive, healthcare companies will need to rethink their strategy, but also adopt value-driven behaviour embedded in a new type of culture and accompanied by a new type of management structure. This presentation not only focuses on the required strategic shifts, but also provides very practical things you can start doing as of tomorrow. Using thought provoking images, short videos and a great sense of humour, this fast-paced keynote speech will appeal to anyone working in a healthcare related company! <strong>How to organize a networked company?</strong> The new environment is a networked one and to survive you have to become a network yourself. Traditional hierarchical structures will have to be replaced and a shift in culture is key to the success of digital transformation. In order to get your company in shape for the day after tomorrow, it needs to be able to follow the customer, so by definition it needs to be agile and networked. Nancy discusses the need for change in leadership, in the workforce skillset, the use of social technologies and above all, culture.
