Webinar: Working longer, but how? Building age-inclusive careers
Government policy expects us all to extend our working lives—but is the labour market truly prepared? Persistent taboos still surround employees aged 55 and over: they’re thought to be less flexible, unwilling to learn, or simply coasting toward retirement. The reality is far more nuanced.
Join Prof. Dr. Peggy De Prins to explore how employers, managers, and policymakers can create age-inclusive organisations. Learn how to shatter taboos and design realistic career paths for 55-plus workers—those eager to keep growing and learning, as well as those struggling with physical or mental limits.
Who should attend? Anyone seeking insight into age-inclusive work, wanting to engage in meaningful dialogue with 55-plus employees, or looking for inspiration to foster sustainable employability while navigating the tension between policy and practice.

Webinar: IT in the boardroom: From blind spot to strategic advantage
Technology now plays a crucial role in virtually every business process—customer data, automation, cybersecurity, and regulation all depend on it. When IT fails, the organisation grinds to a halt. Yet in many boardrooms, technology remains a blind spot, dismissed as “something for the IT people.” Decisions on AI, cyber-security, or GDPR, however, demand clear choices, strategic insight, and close cooperation between business and technology.
In this webinar, Prof. Steven De Haes explores the tension between IT and the boardroom. How can board members or CEOs make sound decisions about areas outside their expertise? And how can IT leaders translate complex systems into straightforward choices that align with business strategy?
You will learn how to bridge the gap between governance and technology, why digital awareness at the top is indispensable, and how to strengthen collaboration through shared understanding and clear role allocation.
Who should attend? Board members, managers, and IT leaders aiming to build a forward-looking, digital organisation.

Webinar: Driving change at the top: How to create real momentum in your organization
Designing a new strategy is often the easy part—whether it’s entering a new market, reorganizing teams, or experimenting with fresh technologies. Execution is where things usually go wrong. At the top, change is especially hard: reshuffling structures is simpler than letting go of ingrained habits. Many organizations settle for minor tweaks, while the real work—breaking old patterns, having tough conversations, and developing new shared habits—never happens.
In this webinar, Professor Ron Meyer explains why change so often stalls at the highest level: the management team. What does it take for leaders not just to steer from above, but to make a tangible difference themselves? Discover how an executive team can move beyond endless planning and take the leap into real action. Expect relatable examples, candid insights, and practical tips to stop delaying change and start realizing it, within yourself and across your organization.
Who should attend? Leaders, managers, and teams who don’t want to outsource change but want to achieve it together. Anyone who feels it’s time to move beyond merely talking about transformation.

Webinar: From isolated actions to policy: building structural well-being
Companies are investing more than ever in employee well-being to boost resilience and job satisfaction. Yet many well-being programmes never rise above one-off, individual actions—such as breathing exercises, time-management workshops, or assertiveness training. Burn-out, however, rarely originates solely in an employee's mind; teams, leaders, and the organisation itself all play a part (IGLO model).
In this webinar, Prof. Dr. Kathleen Vangronsvelt shows how to convert piecemeal initiatives into an integrated strategy. You will learn to embed well-being structurally at four levels: individual, team, leadership, and organisation. Gain insight into employees’ six core needs and collect practical tips to make well-being tangible and achievable. Finally, our research partners will share inspiring real-world cases.
Who should attend? Anyone ready to move beyond scattered initiatives toward a coherent, workable approach to workplace well-being.
