Keynote Speaker Government
“From executing to inventing our work.”
“From executing to inventing our work.”
We live in a society that is changing ever faster. To remain valuable as a government organization, you must move with the times. Because if you keep doing what you always did, you get… a little less each time. A new work reality is presenting itself.
Government organizations face the challenge of letting go of familiar routines. No longer clinging to structure, policy, and continuity, but transforming into agile organizations.
As a Keynote Speaker for government, Arjen Banach helps teams and organizations in the public sector to redesign work, with energy, ownership, and impact.
Together, we will make your event an inspiring moment. Please enter your details below.

As a Keynote Speaker for government, Arjen has previously spoken for municipalities, provinces, ministries, water boards, and everything in between. Each keynote is tailored to the sector, target group, and current challenges, because Arjen derives his job satisfaction from customization.
A small warning: Arjen is ambitious. His famous quote ‘From making hours to making impact’ says it all. Arjen goes for maximum impact. A lecture with him as a speaker is therefore not just one moment of inspiration, but multiple moments of activation.


Participants receive a video message from Arjen in advance. Not a standard ‘save the date’, but a sharp question or thought that makes you reflect on the theme of his lecture.

You won’t get a knowledge dump on stage, because content without form doesn’t stick. And Arjen excels as a speaker in the form. Expect a lecture with humor, storytelling, interaction and activating working methods.

Afterwards, participants scan a QR code and immediately receive an inspiration email with tips, videos, insights and the slides. This is followed by a podcast version of the lecture, which they can listen back to or share later.

“From making hours to making impact“
As one policy advisor put it:
“We thought it was about digital working. But it was actually about what gives our work meaning.”

Arjen Banach is an organizational futurist, speaker, and author of the bestseller A New Work Reality, written for knowledge workers in government. He served on the Groningen city council, where he was chairman of the parliamentary party.
“You don’t have to change the whole organization. Start with your way of working.”
