Evolved from Management 3.0 and unFIX

Discover the New Fundamentals
for Leadership in the age of AI

Get the mindset, tools, and clarity to lead in a world shaped by algorithms.

In a world shaped by artificial intelligence and constant change, the New Fundamentals Workshop helps you rethink how you lead, structure, and evolve your teams and organizations.
Based on Jurgen Appelo’s latest book Human Robot Agent, this interactive 2-day experience explores what leadership really means in the AI era.

You’ll dive into key topics like complexity thinking, algorithmic management, and ethical collaboration between humans and intelligent systems. Through hands-on sessions, you’ll learn to navigate uncertainty, design adaptive organizations, and lead with clarity in a rapidly evolving landscape.

By joining, you'll walk away with:

  • A fresh mindset for the Fifth Industrial Revolution

  • Actionable tools to lead your teams with and around AI

  • A personal development plan to build on your human strengths

  • A toolkit of modern practices for redesigning work in your organization

🎓 Learning Objectives

  • Understand AI’s Impact
    Explain how AI is transforming work at the personal, team, and organizational levels, and why leaders must adapt rather than ignore these changes.

  • Adopt an AI-Age Mindset
    Embrace a growth mindset for the Fourth Industrial Revolution – valuing continuous learning, creativity, and multi-disciplinary “M-shaped” skills over narrow expertise .

  • Lead Change in the AI Era
    Recognize why traditional transformations often fail and identify effective strategies for change (drawing from Agile principles and new frameworks like the Five Steps to Lean).

  • Tackle Complexity & Wicked Problems
    Apply complexity thinking to leadership challenges – acknowledging uncertainty, experimenting in “the edge of chaos,” and introducing tools (e.g., MARVIS wicked framework) to analyze.

  • Leverage AI Tools & Patterns
    Identify practical ways to collaborate with AI in daily work (e.g,. idea generation, data analysis) and experience how AI can augment creativity and decision-making in a team setting or support your organization.

  • Apply New Principles & Lead with Human Strengths
    Internalize key principles for the AI era and new management fundamentals for ethical and effective AI integration. Articulate the unique human strengths that technology can’t (yet) replicate, and define how they will lead with purpose and values in an AI-driven world.

Based on the book “Human Robot Agent” by Jurgen Appelo.
