– Can you tell us briefly about yourself, and why biodiversity is so close to your heart?

– You developed the 4 Returns framework; what is this and how effective has it been thus far?

– What are main barriers to accomplish your formidable goals?

– Why could businesses be interested in such transformation?

– What can businesses in general and INSEAD alumni in particular do to help achieve this goal?

After a lively and interactive discussion you will be invited to ask questions to Willem; there will also be the opportunity to continue the discussion and to meet other INSEAD alumni in small groups.
