Just A Few Words

About The Symposium

This year’s theme is “Embrace the Undiscovered”.

 

The theme is in line with the unprecedentedly large changes that Tata is undergoing as a company, but can also be projected onto many other companies in the Netherlands. The energy transition affects every sector, and we believe that it can be achieved only through cooperation.
Together with young professionals from different companies and sectors, we want to step out of our own bubble and think outside the box by sharing, learning and connecting. 

The main questions of the day will be: How do you step out of your comfort zone? How to deal with uncertainties when there is so much at stake? Let us discover how we can take this huge dive into the deep together.

Paul Iske

Get ready to be inspired by Paul Iske, a renowned expert in the field of open innovation and business. Paul’s talk will focus on the key theme “embrace the undiscovered”. How do we embrace the inevitability of failure and break free from perfect plans? How can you as an individual and as an organization learn from things that don’t go
as planned? And how can we foster an environment within the organization where mistakes are allowed to happen and we can learn from them? In his keynote, Paul will uses common failure patterns to illustrate this.
