Personal Details

Bio

It gives me, Hannelie Venucia (previously Pienaar) great joy to design and share enriching and expansive experiences and perspectives. I am an Innovation Strategist, Potential Catalyst, Inspreneur, Leadership and Self-Leadership Awareness Catalyst and Mentor, Public Speaker and Published Author, and Co-founder and Principle Sensemaker at the Sensemaking Institute in Finland which operates globally. With 28 years of experience in Business, Management, Information Technology, Human Resources and Strategy Consulting, I have been fortunate to serve many CXO level clients and politicians in USA, Europe, West Asia, Middle East and Africa as a trusted advisor and mentor. I have participated in the U.Lab Program of the MIT—Sloan School of Management, Boston, USA. The Society for Innovation in Management recognized my paper on Whole Person Creative Innovation and my contribution at their annual Innovation in Management Winter Conference in Tokyo, Japan in February 2017, by recommending and accepting it to be published in the International Journal of Innovation in Management (IJIiM). I have recently participated in the Open Innovation 2.0 Conference of the European Commission in Cluj, Romania and shared practical examples of the skills we need to thrive in VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) times and how ways to tap into a talent/competence platform economy and ecosystem. I designed several prototypes, innovation platforms and hubs. I create and facilitate collective sensemaking, leadership awareness, creative innovation, talent development, growth strategies, change management, potential realization and personal development initiatives, courses, programs, radio shows, and workshops globally and online. Several global Universities are collaborating with me to introduce my “Learn and Innovate with Awareness” short courses to their students. I have been a speaker at various events in the UK, Japan, Spain, Turkey, Romania, Malaysia, UAE, Ghana, Malawi, Rwanda, Zambia, Kenya, and South Africa, As a prolific author, I enjoy sharing new perspectives and contributing to constructing new models of understanding. It is a great passion to share wisdom, insights, ideas and experiences to improve our ability to thrive in VUCA and Post-normal Times, to sense into what is possible, and to introduce, especially to our young people, the abilities and skills we need to create abundant livelihoods in the 21st Century. My books are available on Amazon and at the Sensemaking Institute. My latest book about Collective Sensemaking was released on 22 July 2017.

Collective Sensemaking - the best kept secret

We find ourselves in an interconnected world where thousands of books and millions of academic papers are written annually; where thousands of courses are available; where an infinite amount of information on the internet is accessible; and where we are daily flooded by numerous electronic messages and opportunities to engage in Social Networks and other Online Forums. To truly benefit from the opportunities arising from this interconnected, digital world and the times that we live in, we need to tap into the Collective Wisdom available to us -into new ways of engaging and collaborating with others; new ways of interpreting and making sense of all the information and knowledge available; new ways to promote ourselves within all the networks and platforms available, new ways of creating a livelihood, new ways of looking at innovation, and developing new abilities such as self-generating, self-organizing, self-adjusting, and self-precedence intelligences.

How to thrive in VUCA Times - improve your Vucability

We live in amazing times and we can choose to either perceived it as VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) circumstances or as an opportunity to grow, expand, be creative and innovative. Times of transition are either the fertile soil for fear-based reactions or the fertile soil for possibility-based responses, interactions and actions. In this session we discover how we can benefit from unexpected opportunities that emerge in such potent times as we actively participate in engaged communities, creative networks, and platform- and wisdom economies. We also explore practical tools and techniques on how to thrive in VUCA times within organizations, communities and on a personal level.

The Art of Relating - The Compatibility Profile

Leaders have to lead, communicate with, engage with, and collaborate with people they seldom see in person, if at all. In a world of relentless and constant change, we are expected to respond faster to both opportunities and dilemmas, whilst being innovative and creative. It is therefore imperative that we revisit the art, value and impact of relating.

Embodiment - The Missing Link in Creative Innovation

Innovation is no longer purely mental, but conceptual; which in itself requires the need to enact different intelligences to sense into and anticipate what we will need in the future. The WHO and WHY (embodiment) become important to be able to access all the intelligences available to us to conceptualize, internalize, integrate and articulate innovations.

Turn your scars into Stars - go on a TRIP

Turn restrictions into possibilities. We can now thrive whilst contributing to and leading our organizations to the next level; even in times of predicted and imminent challenges through exploring and applying Creative Innovative Techniques and Tools.

Strategic Envisioning through Creative Innovation

As we progress into the Conceptual Age, (Inventiveness + Creativity + Understanding + Imagination = Value Generation; and Creative Innovation +Action = Value Realization) organizations now need to recognize and tap into unlimited sources available to them. Creative Innovation is such an inexhaustible source. How can Creative Innovation generate Value and enable our Vision to be realized?

Harvesting Yes Moments in the Workplace

The effects of YES Moments are contagious in the work place. How can instilling, rewarding and inspiring YES Moments amongst the Work Force have a positive impact and influence on the overall success and well-being of the organization? How can YES Moments contribute to Employee Engagement, Innovation and Efficiency?

Dare to Lead from the Heart

The gifts and secrets of the modern day Leader - The outcome of our efforts is entirely bound up with our intentions and our modus operandi- the way in which we accomplish things and the way we do and embody leadership. As leaders we have access to two complimentary, opposite expressions of the same intention to seize and harness every opportunity possible.

Change your words change your life

The Power of Visionary, Powerful, Radiant & Aware Language - How can harnessing aware language positively impact our personal, family,
professional and social relationships and what we co-create together?

Making it Happen - The Project Mind

What is my role in the ‘Power Circle’ in my Projects? How can I step more into my power and employ it in my project and work environment? How can I be more creative in my role?
