Creative thinking

Why the businessmen would need arts, other than as part of their investments? Is, for example, the direct experience of painting useful for a financial accountant? Why an investment in arts might be desirable as part of the professional career? A possible answer is the possibility of developing new skills and looking for better sources of innovation and knowledge management. Thinking the business as a design to be improved, tested and experienced, combining creativity, the courage to think outside the box and the interest to know and better use your knowledge. A good lecture for the start of the week or for the beginning of a new way of way of thinking. Any start is challenging and it is always up to us to face the challenge of something new every day.

Vimeo

If in the domain of "writing" networks I consider myself at the intermediate to advanced level, the audio-visual aspects are strictly limited. I use youtube for very limited and personal reasons - watching some free movies or music or some documentaries. But, as in the last months I am more and more interested from the very practical point of view on the visual aspects, I am exploring new areas and opportunities. The newest one for me is vimeo, a community for creative people and creators.

There are two options for the subscribers: the free - for "casual creators"- and the paid version, for those who need more space to upload and more networking opportunities. Basically, it is functioning as any other open social network: you could subscribe to the channels you are interested in - documentary, or short movies, various competitions and festivals - you could add friends and be part of discussions, you could share your own works. After a short look, I concluded that, in comparison with youtube, vimeo it is more tailored and less commercial, with a highest opportunity for developing online learning classes. Me, for example, I didn't hesitate any second to register for a photography video class I am waiting to explore in the coming days. Looking farther for new opportunities and exposure!

Writing for businesses

could be more than a monotonous boring show-up of words. Good to know, good to think about this. And, I faced this situation in many cases as needed to convince my clients that trying to have open messages and interesting messages do not diminish at all the level of seriosity and the sober image of the company. Sometimes I won, sometimes not.
