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.

Google and knowledge

an antinomic couple?

Should we fear that Internet will kill the "true" knowledge? I don't think Internet in itself is the big issue we should worry about. It is, in fact, a huge, virtual library with everything you never dream it could be found.

Better, we should put under close scrutiny the education systems in themselves, and the ways in which the knowledge it is distributed. For a long time, the focus was on facts, now, we should mostly focused on how to use facts.

My choice is somewhere in-between: I know very well the system focused on facts, facts, facts. When, for example, you have to learn by heart - not by mind - long poetries, without having any idea about what it is all about, because you don't have time to think. In the same time, searching the Internet without clear criteria about what you are looking for, in terms of being able to make your own choices among thousand of results, it is problematic. Our capacity to know it is extremely limited, in comparison with the enormous volume of knowledge. But, a "voie royale" should be the pure desire of knowing and knowing and knowing.
