19th June - Special Event 2008: Art & Leadership

The economy is crying out for innovation, creativity and imagination, and art is an ideal source for these ingredients. We invite you to attend the Special Event Art & Leadership to find out what art can mean for you and the issues you encounter relating to entrepreneurship and leadership. Instead of merely admiring art and artists from afar, we are offering you a unique opportunity to experience and explore art and artists intensively and up close.

  • Mathieu Weggeman: Professor of Organization Science at Eindhoven University of Technology, Innovation Manager at De Baak and management consultant in his own consultancy practice will present the workshop 'Waar swingt het nog?' ['Where’s the groove?'], which is all about the manipulability of a collective flow. When and how will your band get into the groove?

Look, listen and feel with: poet Ingmar Heytze, singer Ellen Honert, the Yellow Fellow Foundation, photographer Sanneke Fisser and G&N fashion.
