AI Strategy Retreat, time to pause and look ahead

💡 AI Strategy Retreat – Time to pause, and look ahead

The end of the year is the perfect moment to slow down, reflect and recalibrate your strategy. Yet many entrepreneurs miss the chance to enter the new year with clarity and energy, because the day-to-day wins in the calendar.

🤖 AI is here to stay. Many teams are already experimenting with tools that make work smarter and raise productivity. But really giving AI a place in your strategy… that turns out to be a lot tougher.

That is why, together with Quinten Lockefeer, I am organizing a one-day AI Retreat at a special place: the former monastery Doornburgh in Maarssen. A day away from the daily rush to explore what AI means for your company, your team and your future.

We start with a short update on the state of AI. Then we work in a Red Team exercise: suppose a new player enters your market with AI: what does the worst case look like? And what can you learn from it? We translate those insights directly into the building blocks for your 2026 strategy.

The day is facilitated from two angles that reinforce each other: 📊 Strategy & Leadership (my field) 🤖 AI & innovation (Quinten’s specialty)

And all of that in a place that breathes calm, space and inspiration.

You go home with: ✅ a clear picture of where AI can make an impact in your business ✅ new strategic insights for the coming years ✅ concrete first steps to get started right away

👉 Want to close the year with new energy and a fresh look at the future? We have one more date this year, December 9, to welcome you and your team. If this year no longer works, we also have a few dates in January to start 2026 with a flying start.

Leave a comment or send me a message. I’d be happy to tell you more.
