“I don’t believe in the approach where you have an ‘innovation team.’ My reaction to that is: ‘Then what does everybody else in this organisation do?'”
Erwin Verstraelen is the Finalist of #ECOTY Awards this year, for building an Open Innovation platform at the Port of Antwerp – an ecosystem where new technologies and ideas are tested and if they turn out to bring business value – they’re deployed.
On January 2nd Hendrik Deckers will talk to Erwin about how this ambitious program came into existence, how it fits into the organisational structure of the Port, as well as about Erwin’s leadership approach and advice to future CIOs.
