I am restless these days. Exploring my limits, physically and mentally, and calibrating and navigating what I was meant to be: an architect, painter, scripter, dramaturge, producer? I am so hungry to create those true memorable experiences, with artistic, architectural, and ethical rightness and integrity. Experiences those feel right from the very first second to [...]

Greetings that make my day

From time to time I get a mail with encouragements for my work at SWIFT and my work on the edges like “Rebels”. Today was one of those days. This is why I keep doing what i do. Below a letter from an anonymous reader of my blogs and tweets; a nice wrap-up of some [...]

The last couple of weeks I have been aroused with many ideas and reflections on Personal Digital Assets and on Digital Assets in general. The journey started some weeks ago with my prezi talk at TEDxNewWallStreet and included my participation to the WEF “tiger team” on Personal Data, where a group of 30 experts are [...]
The Innovator’s Personal Dilemma
Posted in Corporate Values, Generation-M, HR, Innovation, Leading by Being, Personal Values, Transhumanism on April 9, 2012 | 2 Comments »
We are all – or should be – familiar with Clayton Christensen’s work on The Innovator’s Dilemma, where he articulated the principles of disruptive innovation. It’s a great business book about innovation. This is a book about “…how market-leading companies have missed game-changing transformations in industry after industry…not because of ‘bad’ management, but because they [...]
“Corporate Rebels United” – the start of a corporate spring?
Posted in Books, Corporate Values, defrag, Generation-M, Innotribe, Innovation, Leading by Being, Personal Values, Techonomy, Transhumanism, Worldviews on March 17, 2012 | 52 Comments »
People call you an instigator, a protagonist, a renegade, a pirate, a mercenary, a rebel, or an empowered employee. We know you for what you really are: a change agent who sees speed, change and innovation as the new corporate norm. We know because we are you. We know the challenges – and the excitement [...]
The Myth of Innovation Incentives
Posted in Corporate Values, HR, Innotribe, Innovation, Leading by Being, Personal Values, Transhumanism on February 26, 2012 | 10 Comments »
Every now and then people ask me what incentives we have in place for encouraging innovative behavior. The short answer is: there are no incentives other than recognition and self-esteem when your idea happens for real. For people with a specific innovation role – such as our “Megaphones” – we do have their innovation objectives [...]
Team dynamics and the fiction of friendship

Check out this wonderful RSA animation about Steven Pinker’s “Language as a Window into Human Nature” Steven Pinker shows us how the mind turns the finite building blocks of language into infinite meanings. But I looked at this animation and was triggered by how much this relates to how our economies, companies, teams, ourselves and [...]

In September this year, I was attending the BIF-6 Summit, in Providence, RI. Why only report about it now ? Because they finally released the videos of the stories that were told at this year’s edition of BIF. Next year’s edition BIF-7 dates will be 21-22 Sep 2011, unfortunately the same week as Sibos 2011 [...]

UPDATE: the Prezi version of the SOFA presentation mentioned at the end of this post is now available here. Sibos 2010 is over! It was one of the best ever. After that week I felt completely exhausted. Empty. Because I gave my full self. Went deep. Gave and received loads of energy. This [...]
