Peter shared his insights in a very accessible, inspiring, and fun way to make us more aware on how to give serendipity chance.
"Last week, we had our get “Together” days for our R&T EU department in DSM Engineering Materials. What did we really miss in two years most of us working at home besides the social interactions and coffees? It was the phenomena “Serendipity” Finding something good, without looking for it. Everybody will have experienced such a coincidental cross-talk triggering you on a development opportunity, or getting you in connect with somebody that appeared to be relevant to you. Innovation and creating something new is in our DNA with unique product like Stanyl® and EcoPaXX® and the way we co-create with our customers.
We invited Peter Ros as our keynote speaker on our internal event to elaborate on serendipity. Peter wrote a book called “Warorde” and shared his insights in a very accessible, inspiring, and fun way to make us more aware on how to give serendipity chance. A bit of chaos is never a waste!
It is anyhow important to have very clear in the back of your mind what the challenges are in business and for you personally. Then, with a bit of a feeling of urgency and ingredients like challenging the status quo, doing something new, and connecting the unusual suspects, it becomes more apparent to notice the coincident that changes potential. There was an older couple on our venue that was not part of our group, but did bump into our photo-booth. Probably, they forgot their smart-phone and acted uninhibited holding each other tight and making a selfie with our photo-booth to capture their special moment of being together!
Happy little accidents - It must be serendipity!"

In doing so, she sensed exactly what we needed for the warm up and was able to keep the attention of the group in a pleasant manner.”
