The New People Mandate

From 3 – 4 PM CEST

What happens when people, technology, governance and culture can no longer be treated as separate leadership topics? That question sits at the heart of our upcoming 1-hour KennedyFitch webinar on people, trust and governance when AI is reshaping how organisations work.

On 27 May 2026, from 3:00 to 4:00 PM CEST, we bring together two executive leaders whose roles sit directly at this intersection:

Stefanie Hirsch, Chief Sustainability and Quality Officer and Member of the Executive Board at Dräger, brings the perspective of sustainability, quality, regulation and long-term corporate responsibility.

Kai Werner, CHRO and Group General Counsel at TeamViewer, brings the perspective of people, legal, compliance, data protection and digital employee experience.

Together, they will explore what this shift means from the boardroom perspective. The conversation will be hosted by Nils Richter, Managing Partner at KennedyFitch.

Solving the Skills Taxonomy Conundrum

From 2 – 3 PM CEST

How Can Technology Help Make Talent More Visible and Mobile?

How to create a taxonomy that is complete, consistent and not outdated on arrival? We all want to know which skills are present in our organizations, where and at what level but it is a nut few have been able to crack yet.

Join Joan Beets, Managing Partner at KennedyFitch, and Etan Bernstein, Head of Ecosystem at Velocity, for a practical conversation on how technology can fix the skills taxonomy puzzle. We will show how verifiable credentials, decentralized identity, and open standards make skills data portable, trustworthy, and globally recognized, so individuals and organizations can move with confidence.

Expect real examples from leading companies: boosting internal mobility, reducing hiring friction, and empowering employees to own their career identity. We will cover why taxonomies fail today, how credentials create interoperability, the role of blockchain and AI in dynamic mapping, what open ecosystems enable across borders, and what early pilots reveal about what works next.

Leading Change

From 2 – 3 PM CEST

On Tuesday October 7, 14:00 to 15:00 CEST, join Joyce Wicherts and HR executive Andrea Bodstein for a practical session on what truly moves people and systems. We start by cutting through the noise with clear definitions of change versus transformation. Then we unpack why change efforts stall, from technical fixes for adaptive problems to underinvesting in role modelling and the why. You will see what actions you can take tomorrow, leading your team/organization through change. We explore what happens when you are leading a team/organization through change, while also going through this change yourself. We address the design versus delivery gap that makes leaders impatient. You will get a plain-language tour of several thinking frameworks, and can expect real stories from client work and large-scale programs. Bring a live change you are leading for a quick chat exercise. Leave with practical moves, sharper language, and confidence to guide your teams. Register now to reserve your seat and receive the recording after the session.

Webinar Tineke van den Heuvel

A Psychodynamic Systemic View on Leadership Development

From 4 – 5 PM CET

Leadership isn’t just about skills and decisions—it’s about understanding the hidden forces that shape how we lead, interact, and influence others. Often, the biggest leadership challenges aren’t just personal; they’re deeply intertwined with team dynamics, organizational culture, and unconscious patterns we carry with us. In this webinar, Tineke van den Heuvel will explore the power of psychodynamic systemic coaching—a method that helps leaders go beyond surface-level change by uncovering the deeper emotional and systemic influences at play. Why do some leaders struggle to set boundaries? Why do certain team dynamics seem impossible to shift? And how can leaders break free from old patterns that no longer serve them? Through real-life examples and practical insights, Tineke will show how understanding these hidden dynamics can lead to lasting transformation—for leaders, their teams, and their organizations. If you’re looking for a fresh perspective on leadership and coaching, this session will challenge the way you think about personal and professional growth. Don’t miss this opportunity to dive deeper into the psychology of leadership and discover new ways to navigate complexity with confidence and clarity.
