About this Event
Dear INSEAD Alumni,
The Mastering Change Club is excited to invite you to our first event of 2026, featuring Professor Erik Van de Loo.
Topic: “What does it mean to be human… Still”
Erik will share system-psychodynamic reflections on how agentic AI challenges, disrupts and enables us to invest in the essence of our roles and primary tasks, elaborating with the help of two examples: Supervisory Boards and Heads of Corporate Communication.
ERIK VAN DE LOO is a clinical psychologist, PhD in Social Sciences at Leiden University (1987), psychotherapist, psychoanalyst (member of the International Psychoanalytical Association) and obtained a Master’s in Work and Organization Health (1998).
