Michel de Kemmeter (born in Ghent on (1964-09-29)29 September 1964) is a Brussels-based Belgian entrepreneur, philosopher-economist, real estate investor, and author. Affiliate Professor at Vesalius College of Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Since 2005, he researches about personal development, intangible assets, human sustainable development, territorial resilience, ReGeneration, and new systemic Economic system.

Early life and career

Michel de Kemmeter attended the Rijksuniversiteit Gent University in Belgium, and the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven for the degree in Sales Engineer.

His first published books were reference books on construction materials, such as natural stone, blue stone and wood. In this field of work, he has started a business specialized in the treatment and solutions to the pathology of natural stone.

In 1996, he started to invest on Real Estate in Belgium and since then has been sharing experiences as an investor with Fortune de Briques at Éditions Racine.

Human development work

In 2001, he invented the "Motivation Wheel", a psychological tool for analysis of human characteristics, such as behavior, values, concerns, needs, and desires for inner fulfillment. The model was designed to be used for corporate aspects, such as corporate culture development, time management and values, evaluation of intangible assets, coaching, and individual's mentoring. The 7D-Value approach, based on the 7 levels of value is also used to map the excellence and potential of individuals.

In 2005, he published "The Value of Time" and the "Die Werte der Zeit" edition by the publisher Swinti Verlag GmbH, and "La Valeur du Temps" in 2006 by Éditions Racine. The book was a work of philosophy and psychology applied to management and life. It gave a different perspective to the Greek nations of chronos, kairos, and aion.

Present

De Kemmeter started in 2006, a network of innovation on human development and societal development. This network has been creating tools for the development of human potential, self-connection, empowerment, and experiential conscious mentoring, in collaboration with medics, sportsmen, companies, universities, philosophers, and therapists.

Some works of the network were "7D-Value" (for purpose, knowledge, communication, processes, and emotional balance sheets within companies), and "Culture Coherence" (coherence in organizations). These tools aim to give assessments of perceived corporate identity, positioning relative to competitors, values, strengths and development areas, assessment and quantification of intangible assets, customer satisfaction, and a consistency degree of the company. In his research, he works on transdisciplinarity, on systems theory, systemics, prospective, on sociology, and applied psychology.

He is the inventor of the "Systemic Economy" approach, a new model for economy and society. It is based on 3 principles: (1) Every project, company, or organization should contribute to the common good. (2) Every company, person, team, city authority, or other stakeholder has assets and liabilities on 7 levels (earth, material, processes, emotional, communication, knowledge, and common good) (3) Every project should add value on different levels in its stakeholders' ecosystem. It activates and/or mutualizes underused or hidden resources in its stakeholders' ecosystem for the project. It creates "multiple value streams", and thus new solutions, and new business models. The result is more agility, faster implementation, less risk, and more output with less resources. These resources can only be activated if the project answers the needs of stakeholders. He brings these new principles to corporations and governments.

He initiated "Club of Brussels", a school of new economic thinking, with a group of 250 experts worldwide, based on systemic use of resources but also to develop approaches for territorial economic transition.

In 2022, the cryptocurrency "Kairos" was created to fund the projects and to be used as an utility token in the new marketplace dedicated to regeneration of people, planet and economy, following the principles of systemic economy.
