About us.

A humane innovation advocate, Karel is on a mission to reverse human impact on the planet by using the power of design to build a more livable future for all life on earth. In this age of AI, automation, and the increasingly visible effects of climate change, humanity is in a pivotal moment. For Karel, it is therefore crucial that business and innovation turn their focus from a human-centric model to a planet-centric one in order to preserve not only humanity, but the entire global ecosystem. With his team at INDEED, he is dedicated to re-coding how we do business and to only creating innovations that enable the transition from a linear to a circular economy. Karel is also the co-author of The AI ​​Toolbook, which aims to expand literacy around AI for the general public. The book translates AI’s complexity into language that empowers people to use this incredible technology to help tackle climate, planetary, and humanitarian challenges and to further sustainability goals.

Adriana is intrigued by the wider impact of technology on society and on our day-to-day life, today and in the future. She believes that when innovating, a broad holistic view is required, one that also includes society and the environment as stakeholders and that respects human values and human rights. Adriana has expertise in, among others, tech regulation, public policy, standards and stakeholder management. Recently she received her credentials as an IEEE CertifAIEd Lead Assessor. IEEE CertifAIEd is a certification program to assess the ethics of autonomous intelligent systems (AIS) used within organizations. From time to time, Shannon and Adriana publish short stories about the impact of technology on our daily lives.

Shannon Mullen O’Keefe is the founder and chief curator for The Museum of Ideas, an exhibit of the future through the lens of (human) imagination. The Museum of Ideas is for thinkers. The wise minds and creative souls, those who embrace contradicting narratives and idea revelations. The space embraces the art of thought and ideas in emerging galleries of conversations that engage, preserve, and promote thinkers and creators and the art of thinking and ideas and those projects, products, and activities that complement the fine art of thinking that may invite something new and different (and better) than the status quo to emerge. She is also a thinker, strategist, and writer, dedicated to imagining what we can build and achieve together. She is a founding member of QCollective and co-author of a new book, 10 Moral Questions: How to design tech and AI responsibly. She is an advisory board member for LunArc, an organization on a mission to democratize space, and serves as a resident and Brain Trust member of the House of Beautiful Business, a network for the life-centered economy. She practiced the art of leadership for close to three decades, leading workplace engagement and culture change initiatives. She has served in leadership and executive roles in a global professional services firm and in a nature-based nonprofit organization. Find her leadership thinking on the Pondering AI podcast, The Museum of Ideas Substack publication, on Medium, in The Journal of Beautiful Business at House of Beautiful Business, and on LinkedIn.
