Currently sitting in a congress about the future of work, a subject that is dear to my heart, called Creative.Arbeit (where Arbeit = Work
). Very interesting discussions happening and thoughts in the room. Already have a meeting scheduled with three different people, once to learn more about the future of energie, once about a really cool concept in the space of game mechanics / gamification and the real world, as well as with a specialist on the future or work who has done research in the space for a long time but also worked at some corporates. Great insight to say the least.
For example: Big companies were built to use efficiencies that belonged to big companies, but these efficiencies are no longer the most important thing out there. Smaller companies now have something that is really important: less need to sync with different people. The decision groups are smaller and this is something that is very hard for bigger companies to do. The thesis is actually supported by research into where the job creation is happening and it is more of the SMBs than the big ones.
Let’s see how the day continues.
