30 Things We Thought We Knew.
Join Heidi Rundt, CEO of Hyper Island and Otto Ruijs, Head of Leadership Development Programmes at Hyper Island exploring what three decades of transformation can teach us about what comes next.
What 30 years of change can teach us about navigating the next 30.
For 30 years, Hyper Island has worked at the intersection of technology, leadership, learning and change. Along the way, some ideas have stood the test of time. Others have been challenged, reshaped or left behind.
In this webinar, we'll explore some of the assumptions we've held along the way and what three decades of transformation can teach us about what comes next. What should we hold onto? What assumptions should we question? And what might we need to unlearn?
You will leave with practical principles for navigating the next wave of change, with the capacity to keep learning at the centre.

THE HYPER ISLAND WAY
EMBRACE THE UNCONVENTIONAL
Unlike conventional approaches, at Hyper Island, we cultivate conversations that go beyond the ordinary. Our speakers and facilitators bring alternative perspectives to the forefront, sparking fresh, impactful solutions. We tackle the existential questions that many shy away from, addressing the intersections of technology, human growth, and leadership in ways others often overlook.
IMMERSIVE & REFLECTIVE LEARNING
Immerse yourself in a learning journey that brings you up close with the material. Unlike spending excessive time in a theoretical realm, we allocate no more than 20% to theory and dedicate the remaining 80% to bridging the gap to real-world application. This ensures that our content remains relevant and practical, empowering participants to put knowledge into action.
FOSTERING COLLABORATION & CONNECTION
Hyper Island learners thrive within a collaborative ecosystem. Engage, explore, and share experiences alongside fellow learners, creating an environment where co-creation and mutual growth flourish. This collaborative approach not only cultivates a strong sense of connection but also a shared journey towards progress and unity.
