Are you Buying the Future? sessions
ARE YOU BUYING THE FUTURE? ONLINE MASTERCLASS WITH PROF. DR. LOUISE KNIGHT
In this first ‘Are you Buying the Future?’ masterclass Prof. Dr. Louise Knight will argument about the need to talk about markets in hindsight of her Inaugaral lecture on Future Procurement. She will be introduced by Diederik Heij. This masterclass is also a leadup to a afternooncongres ‘Diversity Drives Innovation’ of Commando Materiel and IT (COMMIT) that will take place on 6th of july and where Prof. Knight also will participate.
She states that all too often the very processes and tactics that are supposedly positive manifestations of competition actually deliver less dynamic markets, outcomes that are detrimental to all but shareholders’ short term interests, and are unsustainable in both ecological and societal terms. Although, in some quarters, firms are showing a greater sense of urgency and willingness to invest in a business transition, achievements and plans are far from sufficient.
