Lucien Engelen Speaking Info
About Lucien
We are in the midst of a digital transformation across society that brings opportunities and challenges. What used to work isn’t good enough anymore in a world that is increasingly becoming digital.
Through my small company Transform.Health as a vehicle I operate at the intersection of Innovation & Strategy for boards, governments, corporates, and professionals via my role as Edge Fellow for the Deloitte Center for the Edge (Amsterdam, Melbourne and San Francisco) :
Additionally as of September 1st, 2022 I also was offered a role as a fellow for the Vodafone Centers for Health on a European scale.
And my role within Laurentius Medical Center in my hometown Roermond:
In my lectures and keynotes, masterclasses, TED-talks or brainstorms, I am combining my knowledge and networks by always being challenging, sometimes being provocative but always staying techno-realistic. Both in-person and virtual (from my professional office studio) my goal is to prepare for a soft landing in the future meanwhile creating sustainable global health(care) for all. Here a brief glimpse of the topics of my keynotes and lectures, also being used in board-room sessions, retreats and strategic reflections.
As one of the 105 initial LinkedIn Influencers, over 825.000 people follow my blog and over 150.000 active subscribers to my newsletter. In my latest book I describe what dramatic changes lie ahead for health and healthcare.
It is at the intersection of technology and (digital) patient empowerment that I feel most at home. I am the former and founding director of the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre REshape Center and advisor to the Board of Directors (2010-2018), and my prior experience in healthcare in ambulance services, dispatch-centers, and other acute healthcare roles, brought me to the forefront of health(care) innovation in the past three decades.
