It was an absolute honor to attend an evening filled with bold ideas, honest challenges, inspiring conversations, and a strong sense of optimism about Europe’s future. What happens when an official book launch turns into an unforgettable evening where data matters and the inspirational speakers truly become the heroes of the event?
“Why Data Wins” : written by Joachim De Vos, is much more than a book. It is an eye-opener and a powerful successor to his internationally acclaimed book “Why Innovation Fails”.
The evening kicked off with an inspiring opening by Herman Van Rompuy, followed by the official book launch and an engaging CEO Innovation Panel with Murli Buluswar (Head of Decision Science bij Optum)- Peter Van Laer (CEO van BDO Belgium) - Johan Thijs (CEO van KBC Group) -
A great evening, bringing together data, innovation, leadership and, above all, inspiring people shaping the future. Congratulations to Joachim De Vos and everyone involved in making this evening such a success! Want to know how to transform your organisation into a data-driven Powerhouse ... read the book ! 😄👍
