Invitation for a free HR event on NWOW

ihop is co-organizing three free events about the why and the how of “The New Way Of Work” (#NWOW) tailored for the Flemish HR managers. These events will happen in three locations in Flanders (Belgium) but you can also attend these events online as a webinar.

The other organizers are Orbit One, a software consultancy firm that helps organisations achieve optimal business agility by integrating smart software solutions, and Eff3ct, a company specialized in interior design for offices. Together we cover the three crucial and inter-related aspects of #NWOW (in Dutch: #HNW: Het Nieuwe Werken): bytes (the software tools which are required), bricks (adapted building) and the behavior (company culture and (HR) processes that need to support NWOW).

It is an evening event (starting at 6 PM) where the managers of these companies will have about 20 minutes each to tell there story, their side of the full picture: What does NWOW means, why it is good for a company to invest some effort in setting it up, and also: how do you start this? How to make sure it will be a success?

Before and after the presentations, everybody will have the opportunity to mingle and chat. Both live and online by the way. The only thing people following online will have to miss, … are the drinks and snacks. 🙂

The dates and locations are:

Ghent, Tuesday June 2nd (OneOffice Coworking space)
Antwerp (Aartselaar), Wednesday June 10th (Officenter)
Brussels (Zaventem) Thursday July 2nd, Microsoft head office.

The venues hosting the event are also relevant: each company has already covered some miles in implementing the NWOW, and each evening, the host will also tell his/her story.

Please click on a location or date in the list above to select the date that is most convenient for you. You will then be able to select “live” or “webinar”.

The events are targeted towards people in charge of HR in their company who are looking to implement NWOW (or HNW if you like) in their organisation. Therefor the title of the roadshow is “HR Roadshow: Reimagining the HR role in the Digital Transformation”

We, that is Gerd Steegmans (Eff3ct), Olivier Mangelschots (Orbit One) and myself, look forward meeting you!

Planning something great

The last couple of weeks, I have been preparing a nice event, together with two other companies.

More news in the days to come.

Keep an eye on this site, or on my tweets.

First clients … first invoices

ihop is only one month in business, and already I have the pleasure to create two invoices. Thank you clients, it is a pleasure doing business with you.

Excellent speakers in the morning

this morning I had the pleasure to listen to two excellent speakers.

First Peter Hinissen talking about how companies who use the power of the network well, can be disruptive for an entire industry. A great introduction for his book: The network always wins.

The second talk was by Lee Bryant of Postshift (@leebryant). He did an excellent job in explaining how every company can apply a step by step approach to implement social technology.

Now Joachim Heinz of Bosh is up to tell his story on bringing Bosh into the Enterprise 2.0 world.

First day of HR Tech

Today is the first day of HR Tech. It promises to be great, especially the social collaboration track. Also curious about the speech by Peter Hinissen in a few minutes: the network always wins…
