About Jörgen Van Der Sloot

My passion is to ignite collaborative thinking for transformation and to facilitate organizations and individuals to have strategic conversations and break throughs in their current way of seeing and thinking about the worldThat is how Minkowski came to be. I believe that the future is irrelevant if you don't know what to do with all the possibilities that lie ahead of you. Inspiration is a frustration if you can't apply it to your business. That's why Minkowski helps organizations with a changing future by co-creating possibilities for the now. We stimulate organizations to apply futures thinking to their present so they can transform from within and change the way they see the world. Minkowski is an agency for applied futures: enabling individuals in organization to act and be ready for the futures.My background:After building up and shaping the futures think tank and consulting company FreedomLab for over a decade I left the company I co-founded to explore what to do next in my own future. So far it has led to the creation of YESPR and Minkowski. I’ve helped numerous organizations to get breakthroughs in their thinking and in their perspective on the world. As a host and enabler of strategic and creative conversations I’ve helped groups of people to take an outside-in perspective. I have collaborated with many internationally operating organizations in the fields of media and consumer brands, finance and investment, insurance and pensions, education and charity and have hosted sessions for groups ranging in size from 3 people to 300 people in boardrooms and classrooms. Although my home base is Amsterdam, my work takes me all over the world.

  • Minkowski
    Founder
    Minkowski Jul 2017 - Present
    Amsterdam Area, Netherlands
    We are MinkowskiWe believe that any organization can learn how to apply the possibilities of the future to their business. Where you will end up in due time is not only determined by where you want to go, but also by where you are today and where you came from before. Minkowski helps organizations to apply futures (short term and long term), so they can identify what’s next for them and how to respond to the world changing around them. We don’t determine the future for you, we enable it with you. Agency for applied futuresWe give agency to people in organizations by designing collaborative interventions around the most important questions for their future. In highly customized sessions we work with challenging future thinkers and scientists, well-trained facilitators, experienced business coaches and innovators and people from your organization to empower you to lead the change as opposed to succumb to it. If you want to build the capacity to design your future, Minkowski can help you.
  • Coburn Ventures
    Change Fellow
    Coburn Ventures Mar 2008 - Present
    Greater New York City Area
    As a Change Fellow at Coburn Ventures I’ve been closely collaborating with the company for more than a decade. I’m helping the team in the design and hosting of their retreats and gatherings for clients. But more importantly, over the years in our collaboration we have studied change and culture inside organisations extensively together. By continuously applying the lessons we’ve learned on this in sessions about change, becoming better investors and culture we’ve grown together on a path that is continuing until today and has resulted in me being part of the core team. One of the more public results of our collaboration is the Community For Change of which I'm a charter member and a regular contributor to their Writing Circle.
  • Columbia Digital Storytelling Lab
    Instructor
    Columbia Digital Storytelling Lab Jul 2016 - Present
    Greater New York City Area
    For the Digital Storytelling Lab together with Lance Weiler and Nick Fortugno I co-designed Sherlock Holmes and the Internet of Things and developed the collaborative methodology behind it. Sherlock Holmes and the Internet of Things was a Massive Online Offline Collaboration project that involved more than 2000 participants from more than 60 countries in 70+ events. Currently we’re developing a new Massive Online Offline Course for the lab called Frankenstein AI which is inspired by Mary Shelley's classic novel. Previously we worked on Pandemic 1.0 back in 2009.
  • Singularityu The Netherlands
    Program Development & Lead Facilitator
    Singularityu The Netherlands Jan 2018 - Dec 2022
    Amsterdam Area, Netherlands
    At SingularityU I help the team with the development of all custom programs and learning programs that they host for clients in the Netherlands. To build a stronger foundation for this capability within the organization I'm also leading the team of facilitators that are enabling these collaborative sessions on the impact of an exponentially changing world.
  • Yespr
    Owner
    Yespr Jun 2017 - Dec 2019
    Amsterdam Area, Netherlands
    With YESPR I help organizations and individuals to have more effective and meaningful brainstorming sessions, meetings and strategic conversations. After more than 15 years of hosting these types of sessions I’ve identified 3 key ingredients that are crucial for successful collaborations: listening attentively, speaking with intention and suspending judgment. Based on these three core principles I help people design their own sessions that stimulate the imagination and that transforms ideas into action. If you design with this in mind your meeting will aid quick thinking, it will absorb negative energy and it will continuously use the power of the collective to see projects through. The gemstone ‘Jasper’ is known as the supreme nurturer that brings tranquility and wholeness in times of stress. For me, that is what I bring to your collaborative challenge with YESPR.
  • On My Own
    On Sabbatical For A Few Months To Explore My Own Future
    On My Own May 2017 - Oct 2017
    Amsterdam Area, Netherlands
    After building up and shaping FreedomLab for the last decade I have recently left the company I’ve co-founded to explore what to do next in my own future. In the last 15 years I’ve helped numerous organizations to get breakthroughs in their thinking and in their perspective on the world. As a host and enabler of strategic and creative conversations I’ve helped groups of people to take an outside-in perspective. I have collaborated with many internationally operating organizations in the fields of media and consumer brands, finance and investment, insurance and pensions, education and charity and have hosted sessions for groups ranging in size from 3 people to 300 people and from boardroom to classroom. But now the time has come to take a few steps back ask myself what I want my future to be.
  • Columbia University School Of Professional Studies
    Instructor
    Columbia University School Of Professional Studies Aug 2015 - Jul 2017
    Greater New York City Area
    At Columbia University I have been one of the designers of various courses in digital storytelling in close collaboration with Lance Weiler. For the School of Journalism I designed the collaborative approach for an exploration in the pairing of story and technology called Bit By Bit and crafted a curriculum for the School of Professional Studies on co-creation and futures thinking. We also crafted a lab around narrative storytelling in collaboration with the Columbia University Medical Center.
  • Reboot Stories
    Think & Do Lab Designer
    Reboot Stories Jul 2013 - Jul 2017
    Greater New York City Area
    Many years ago Lance Weiler (co-founder of Reboot Stories) and I started designing and creating collaborative projects and social innovation labs together. Over the years we have ran many labs and sessions together ranging in size from just a handful of participants to big story creating events that had thousands of collaborators. The work that we have done together has always been based on our drive to make the world work for 100% of humanity (inspired by Buckminster Fuller). Besides Reboot Stories projects we have developed a toolkit for social change for the Learn Do Share collective, that is now using these methods for collaboration all over the world.
  • Freedomlab Future Studies
    Co-Founder
    Freedomlab Future Studies Jan 2007 - May 2017
    Amsterdam Area, Netherlands
    As one of the co-founders of FreedomLab I had been building the company for more than a decade. FreedomLab has seen many iterations before I left it in 2017. I was responsible for all the collaborative sessions on vision and strategy development. Over the course of 10 years I've developed new tools for futures thinking (ie Wheel of Reasoning) and have designed a methodology for collaboration that we have used in many corporate organizations and NGO's on boardroom level and inside classrooms. All the tools and methodologies that were created were developed as creative commons and have therefore been applied and adopted in many different locations and have been part of various experiments worldwide. As part of my role at FreedomLab I've talked to hundreds of experts, scientists, scholars and thought leaders on topics of technology, sustainability, change, media, scenario thinking and disruption.
