Even if quarantine is not over everywhere, let’s wake up!! The world is wild again, and so are our brains. As the cities flow, the streams gather new energy; our brain opens to an “experimental” outside, ready to try out new things. But is the outside really like before? And what about us? Have we changed? To nourish our reflection, we have a vital need of otherness, to invite our fellow humans to share our experiences, our sensitivities; this is where our ideas are revealed and come to life. The weather is hot; the brain is boiling. CreativeTech is in the mood for creation and realization. We have gathered inspirations and the initiatives that will be the leaven of this season, whatever the context. “If the human sometimes did not close his eyes, he would end up not seeing what is worth looking at.” René Char

If we really want to robot-proof our jobs, we, as leaders, need to get out of the mindset of telling people what to do and instead start asking them what problems they’re inspired to solve and what talents they want to bring to work ». David Lee, the boiling brain of it all, works to create platforms that make it easier for people to turn fuzzy ideas into concrete solutions : listen to his amazing Ted Talk -“ Why jobs of the future won’t feel like work”- here.
