Boudewijn Delafortry

I’m fascinated by all aspects of innovation and I have been practicing methods to boost innovation since the beginning of the millennium. As a project leader in the Bell Labs I was one of the founders of the Entrepreneurial Boot Camp initiative in Alcatel-Lucent. At present, I am Innovation Manager at Technicolor, in Edegem. As a learning consultant, I solve – together with the stakeholders – the real cause of the problem, rather than wasting money and time on useless workshops or training sessions.Today, boosting innovation by going nuts with bright people, trying to bring bright ideas fast to market, as a new project in an existing business unit or as an internal or external venture is my hobby and also my work.Contact: Boudewijn Delafortry, tel.: +32 (0)474 96 06 18, Boudewijn.Delafortry@TheSecondPhase.be
