About Raphael Thys
With 26 years navigating the intersections of technology, strategy, and human adaptation — and 15 years as a university teacher and keynote speaker — Raphael Thys works with executive teams and digital product organizations facing accelerated change. His work spans two complementary domains: strategic foresight for leadership teams confronting systemic disruption (energy transition, trust collapse, post-truth dynamics), and AI-driven transformation for product and design organizations. He draws on systems thinking, scenario planning, and first principles reasoning to help organizations move from reactive to anticipatory.
AI Agents
The future of digital interaction is agentic—autonomous, proactive, and deeply personalized. AI agents designed and built for organizations can now act on their behalf, reshaping what collaboration and service mean in the digital age.
The ambition: create intelligent systems that doesn’t only respond, but anticipates and acts.
The UX of AI
As artificial intelligence becomes omnipresent, design must ensure that intelligence remains understandable, trustworthy, and human-centered. Every interface, conversation, and outcome is shaped to empower users with clarity and confidence, not overwhelm them with complexity.
Design and ethics converge here—where usability meets intelligence.
AI adoption Teams
Artificial intelligence is already transforming creative and analytical workflows. In design and product environments, intelligent systems now amplify insight, depth, and precision—often accelerating delivery, and if done with care it can also boost the quality of outcomes.
The next wave of operational excellence will emerge from teams that collaborate seamlessly with intelligent systems.
