Mathieu Weggeman is a collector of beautiful stories about craftsmanship and leadership.<\/p>\n

He is a professor of Organizational Science, particularly Innovation Management at the Faculty of Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences at the Technical University of Eindhoven. Mathieu has chosen to focus his research on understanding and explaining innovation processes in technology-, knowledge-intensive, and cultural organizations. His particular attention is directed towards leading professionals, strategy formulation, realizing collective ambition in teams, organizations, the working methods, and the value systems of the new generation.<\/p>\n

Together with his PhD candidates, he conducts research on flow and team flow among professionals, the motives that professionals have to create and share knowledge, the characteristics of the (pre) fuzzy front end of innovation processes, the role of courage, humor, and art in organizations, and the influence of the aesthetics of work processes on the emotional attachment of professionals and, consequently, on the knowledge productivity of the organization.<\/p>\n

In addition to his work at TU\/e, Mathieu Weggeman runs his own consulting practice as an advisor. In this practice, he is involved in designing the structure and governance of knowledge-intensive organizations, facilitating an innovation-friendly collaborative culture, conditioning context-dependent self-management, leading professionals (or not), and stimulating the aesthetics of work processes.<\/p>\n

In 2008, his book \u201cLeading Professionals? Don’t Do It!<\/a><\/span>\u201d won the Management Book of the Year Award and was nominated for the Gids Prize 2008 for the best HRM book. He also wrote the book \u201cAndre Kammaraad<\/a><\/span>\u201d from 2020 and \u201cGood People, Beautiful Work!<\/a><\/span>\u201d from 2021.<\/p>\n

In the past, Mathieu Weggeman worked for the Board of Directors of Philips, learned the profession from masters such as C.K. Prahalad and Sumantra Ghoshal. He was also a partner at Twynstra Gudde Management Consultants and Head of Innovation at the Baak Management Center VNO-NCW. Mathieu Weggeman is a supervisor at Buurtzorg Nederland, at the Utrecht School of the Arts, and at the Governor Kremers Center of the Maastricht University Medical Center.<\/p>\n

He was a member of the Supervisory Board of the Restoration Workshops Limburg Foundation (SRAL) until 2020 and is a candidate member of the Senate for Volt.<\/p>\n

Mathieu Weggeman also gives lectures about his work. The humor that is often present is not representative of his work but should be seen as a didactic tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
