THE NET CURIOSITY SCORE
We live in a time when economics, technology, climate, and geopolitics are colliding like never before. The old rules? Those no longer work. The new normal sometimes feels like a Twilight Zone meeting Wonderland, where cooperation and adaptability are crucial. Curiosity in this world is not just a nice trait, but an indispensable force for embracing change and staying relevant.
Meet the brand new keynote by Rik Vera – a storyteller who can take you down the rabbit hole of complexity and somehow make it feel like a wild ride through Wonderland.
Curiosity as a connecting force within organizations
“In a world where chaos is the new normal and certainty is a distant memory, curiosity is not just a skill – it is your company’s most powerful weapon for staying relevant. The future doesn’t wait. Are you ready to lead the way?” – Rik Vera.
Collaborating in a changing world requires curiosity as an engine. In his keynote, Rik Vera shows how curiosity not only drives innovation but also strengthens collaboration within teams. By measuring and targeting curiosity, organizations can turn complex challenges into opportunities. His characteristic analogies, such as the “Deck Chair Syndrome,” make complex concepts understandable and practically applicable.
This keynote is based on his book: The Net Curiosity Score.
Embracing change by measuring curiosity
Change is the only constant, but how do you stay agile and relevant? Rik Vera introduces the Net Curiosity Score (NCS) as a measurable KPI that organizations can use to concretely harness curiosity. This score helps not only understand how teams deal with change but also how to improve collaboration and innovation. The result? Organizations that respond faster and more effectively to a dynamic world.
Yes, it’s measurable. Yes, it’s actionable. And yes, it’s the gamechanger you’ve been missing.
And here’s where Rik flips the script: he’s not just going to talk about curiosity—he’s going to show you how to measure it. How to boost it. How to turn curiosity into the most important KPI your organization has ever seen: the NCS (Net Curiosity Score). Yes, it’s measurable. Yes, it’s actionable. And yes, it’s the game changer you’ve been missing.
The world might feel like we’re stuck in a never-ending Twilight Zone, but Rik’s keynote? It’s fresh, hopeful, and packed with moments that will make you rethink everything. He takes those complex, wicked problems—dissecting them, twisting them into compelling stories and analogies that stick with you long after you leave the room.
You’ll laugh, you’ll think, and most of all, you’ll be asking yourself the ultimate question: will my business still matter in the future?
Curious yet? You should be.
