• Business seems to have fallen from grace over the recent years following the current economic recession. For all too many people it is now taken for granted that companies promote greed, crush creativity and monopolize power. It is unfair, however, to judge all by the misdeeds of a few. Several arguments can be advanced in defence of business, but the one that really matters is that because innovation lies at the heart of it, business is a force for change and progress. In this session, we will show why innovation matters, how it works, and why the case for business needs to be made again.

• Op 23 juni 2008 lanceerden Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School, Flanders DC en LannooCampus in Vilvoorde een trilogie van praktijkboeken voor de ondernemer: Ondernemen met creativiteit (Hans Crijns) , Innoveren met creativiteit (Marion Debruyne), Leidinggeven met creativiteit (Veronique Warmoes en Herman Van den Broeck) . Net zoals de 3 boeken de praktische vertaalslag zijn van 4 jaar onderzoek binnen het Flanders DC Kenniscentrum, was de interactieve boekvoorstelling een permanente aftoetsing met de bedrijfswereld. Gastvrouw Nina De Man was moderator van een boeiend debat tussen theorie en praktijk. Een speed date tussen de auteurs en 3 interviewers (een student, een beeldend kunstenaar en een journalist) werd afgewisseld met kritische bedenkingen van 3 ondernemers, nl. Vic Swerts (Soudal), Arnoud Raskin (Mobile School) en Jan Van Lancker (Uplace).
