Laurens Waling helps organisations look differently at work, talent and AI. Accessible for the whole room, sharp enough for the boardroom — and always with something your audience can start on Monday.
Labour scarcity is structural. Yet most organisations keep doing the same: more vacancies, more recruitment budget, more of the same. In this keynote Laurens flips the question: it’s not a capacity problem, it’s an organisational design problem.
Using recognisable examples — from the baker who became an EV-charger technician to hospitals redistributing work into tasks — he shows how work becomes agile once you detach it from fixed jobs.
Work is bigger than jobs.
Organisations are human systems.
Organisations don’t lack potential — they lack sight of potential.
AI makes human qualities more important, not less.
Potential matters more than the past.
Carrying a room of 800 people through a story on the future of work is a craft. Getting a board to ask deeper questions is another. Laurens does both, with the same energy and concrete examples from practice.
