Keynote Speaker Innovation
“(Innovation of today determines the success of tomorrow.)”
“(Innovation of today determines the success of tomorrow.)”
We are working in a time where change is no longer something that comes at us, but something we must shape ourselves to remain relevant. To remain valuable, organizations must continue to innovate. Not only is the world around us changing, but so are the expectations of customers. Organizations are challenged to work faster, more personally, and more flexibly. Innovation is therefore no longer the task of one separate department, but an essential part of the daily work of every professional.
As a Keynote Speaker on innovation, Arjen Banach makes this topic concrete, activating, and above all, human-centered. Because innovation is not a technology issue, but a cultural one.

Innovation is sector-independent. Keynote Speaker Arjen Banach has previously spoken for healthcare institutions, schools, government organizations, SMEs, multinationals, and everything in between. Each keynote is tailored to the sector, target group, and current challenges, because Arjen gets his job satisfaction from customization.
Innovation is about doing something you didn’t do yesterday. Small adjustments, smart experiments. As long as it adds value, it is innovation. Yet it remains a slow process in many organizations. Why does one succeed and the other not?
As a speaker, Arjen shows that the answer often lies in the organizational culture. Innovation is determined to a lesser extent by a single professional, but arises from the right dynamics in teams. In how people work together, make decisions, and dare to take risks.
“Does innovation come thanks to the system in which you work, or despite it?”
In his keynote on innovation, Arjen asks the essential question: is your organization set up in such a way that you can truly respond to a rapidly changing future?
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.
