S02E04 Creativity - Steve Chapman
"Be more boring and less interesting to let the magic come out?!" If this sounds just as bananas to you as it did to us, stay tuned! In this episode we're interviewing Steve Chapman and were blown away by his take and views on creativity.
S02E03 Future of TV - Mino Morini
What can we learn from the TV proposition of Sky Italia? In this episode Mino shares his views as Head of TV Proposition and Customer Experience. As a former KPN colleague, het talks about his experience working in The Netherlands. What he learned about the cultural difference between Italy and Dutch 'Polderen' and how this developed his leadership skills.
S02E02 IT and sustainability - Mateo Dugand & Jeroen Cox
S02E01 Modern Workforce - Stephen Garcia
S01E09 Rabobank - Agile@Scale
Outsights-In is back from summer break with a brand new episode! We’re proud to say that this episode’s guest is none other than former KPN Colleague Kiki van den Berg, EVP HR Strategy & Transformation & Head Digital Transformation at Rabobank.
Together with our own transformation guru Hidde Andriessen we talked about Rabobank’s Simplify @ Scale program. This transformation program focuses on the next steps in the Agile and busdevops way of working.
But what does that really mean? What were key breakthroughs? Can we still talk about an IT department? What was the effect on people's motivation? What kind of culture fits this way of working? What and who else is involved in such a transformation?
One thing’s for sure: we learned a lot and need to take steps to keep up!
S01E08 Bookclub #4 Birds of Paradise - Eric Kuisch
Eric worked for KPN for 22 years, is now the COO of Eurofiber Group and recently wrote a book about succesfully managing engineers, developers and IT-specialists called ‘Paradijsvogels/Birds of Paradise’.
We talked about his KPN journey, but mostly about how to work with tech talents/paradijsvogels. How do you recognise these talents? How do we stimulate and hire them? Which mistakes do leaders often make when working with IT professionals?
For all our techies: we’re really curious if you recognise what he says and what we, as KPN, can learn and improve!
S01E07 Bookclub #3 The Ride of a Lifetime - Bob Iger
But what do we know about The Walt Disney Company? What is their story and how did the company develop over the years? And more importantly; how did they manage to become even more successful?
Together with Disney fan Alex Faber we talk about the book ‘The Ride of a Lifetime’ by Bob Iger, who has been the CEO of The Walt Disney company for 15 years. What are lessons learned and what can we learn from them?
S01E06 Bookclub #2 Rick Pastoor - Grip
According to Jaro this book cracked the code of smart working. The truth is that everyone has 24 hours a day, but somehow some people get more done than others. How come? And let’s be honest, don’t we all want to work more efficiently? More in line with our beliefs and values? To really make a difference?
Even though Jaro has been working on the subject of smart learning for years, this book has dramatically changed his way of working and he gained a more conscious life. Because after all, time is the most valuable asset we have.

S01E05 Bookclub #1 Ricardo Semler - Maverick
Ever heard of Ricardo Semler and his book Maverick? Our colleague Andreia Pombinho Fernando definitely has. Semler’s ideas have been a great source of inspiration for her and also changed the way she works and thinks.
Semler turned his family's business, the aging Semco corporation of Brazil, into one of the most revolutionary business success stories of our time. By eliminating unneeded layers of management and allowing employees unprecedented democracy in the workplace, he created a company that challenged the old ways and blazed a path to success in an uncertain economy.
In this episode Andreia tells us what she learned and how she uses this in her day-to-day job!
