PEOPLE POWERED CHANGE PEOPLE
The success of strategic projects depends on people. I help organizations to make people their driving force, not their hindrance:
Adoption of AI and change – AI adoption requires a mandate from above and involvement and energy from below, which I can address using my many years of experience in technology adoption using methods based on human centric change and involving people from below.
AI Enablement - I directly help entire teams and individuals to use AI at work - creating their own AI environment, agents, or practical use of an existing AI stack.
Brand, Product, and People – I create programs that create a profound impact for your brand and products by working with communities, ecosystems, and networks.
Corporate culture and people development – I design peer-to-peer training programs, expert networks, and the use of internal ambassadors for development, innovation, and work with talent across the organization.
HUMAN NETWORKS WITH IMPACT
I design and build strategic initiatives that connect and engage people and deliver impact -- from formal community programs to decentralized approaches to collaboration with existing networks.
-
Building a community network around your brand that includes both existing customers and entirely new audiences.
-
In-house expert networks, guilds and communities of practices .
-
Partner & developer ecosystems
-
Community programs for social impact organizations
WORKSHOPS
Two hours to several days of interactive joint work, online or in person. We will upskill a group of up to 15 people to tackle new initiatives and gain new attitudes and skills.
MENTORING
Individual meetings in which we work together to address your specific needs, or in which I guide you in sorting out your thoughts about the development of your team or organization.
SOLUTIONS
I will help design a solution or system and its implementation. I can also be involved in the process of onboarding or selecting people who will continue to work with the solution.
TALKS / KEYNOTES
Webinar or live talks or keynotes for larger groups. I deliver them as experience-packed lectures that will give your people energy - and some chunky food for thought.
I base my work with you on practice and I always prepare tailor made solutions to match your needs. Clients appreciate my human and "no b*shit" approach and my ability to think out of the box. I also always aim to walk as direct a journey as possible to reach your goals and make myself eventually redundant.
Let's talk about options, availability and prices.
Main Workshop Areas
AI Powered
Companies and teams have AI tools, but people don't use them - they lack both the "why" and the "how". In a workshop or during individual work individuals and teams to understand the possibilities for them and find the right use case for themselves, including the use of agent AI.
We explore the domain in the most human, non-technical way possible, and without any fluff.
Working with communities (HR, Marketing, NGOs - specific focus according to the client)
How a company can benefit from various forms of community programs, but also use community principles to strengthen team and inter-team cooperation and learning, or externally outside the company for brand marketing or creating social impact.
Imagination: Seeing Things Differently
Imagination is a key skill of today. A unique inspiring meeting in a playful and non-violent way opens up space for participants to look at the world, work and themselves from a new angle. Intersection of unique photographs of our world, innovative principles of cooperation from the global Google, and experiences with finding opportunities in life and work.
DANIEL FRANC, MSA
I am a practitioner with many years of international experience who helps me to integrate into various theoretical concepts. Among other things, I founded and helped grow what is currently the largest community education network in the world (Google Developer Groups) and then managed other community programs for developers at Google for 7 years. At the same time, I worked at Gen Digital as a community program architect in the role of Community Lead. I currently work part-time as an external senior consultant at Česká spořitelna in involving people in changes internally and in brand marketing.
In the past, I co-founded and led several technology companies in the US and the Czech Republic, such as one of the first e-learning platforms (WebStudy) or ride-sharing tools (Rideseek.net). I worked with teachers, trained in experiential pedagogy, published books and translations, and led community programs in the context of civic and non-profit organizations.

"From the consultations on the topic of OKR implementation and debugging, I took away a lot of tips and topics to think about.
And above all, it gave me new thoughts and ideas!"

“The Collaboration lecture was very positively received. Colleagues emphasized the lecturer's many years of experience and the insights they got into cooperation in other organizations. "

"That thing that separates good and great trainers: practical experience. Dan lives and works the way he teaches. His trainings are incredibly catchy case studies of his work style. It was a pleasure both taking part in his communication training and working with him on the Prague Wikinomics Forum."

"Dan has allowed us to see a contstant change through the lens of opportunity, not just survival. The seminar participants highly valued its high energy, authenticity, insights and inspiring approach to team management and work with error."

"Working with Daniel was a great experience. He has deep insights in social behavior, motivation and a solid tech backround. He applies all that in a way that infects people with passion. His high level of integrity, talent to inspire and "only the best possible" ethics make him a real gamechanger."
I am honored to have worked with more than 20 organizations recently, either directly or in partnership with
ELAI or Business Provocation agencies.
As a mentor, I help startups in two acceleration programs.
