The Big Challenge
In a fast-changing world, everyone needs to live in a “permanent state of transition” or “reinvention.”
We need to continuously adapt ourselves to unlock the opportunities and meet the challenges of our new technology-driven world.
The Future of Work
As more and more jobs are eliminated due to technology, we need to keep reinventing ourselves and stay in a permanent state of transition, to be relevant in the future.
The Art of Re-inventing ourselves has 3 key factors:
- Thinking "different"
- Working with varied partners
- Using Technology for creativity and for the pursuit of happiness
Thinking Different
The ability to recognize what has changed, accept that new reality and then adapt to it is the essence of “thinking different.”
A worldwide Digital Transformation has changed a lot of elements of our lives, including life expectancy, skill-set requirements, and new kinds of economies. Thinking different is a must-have approach to see new possibilities in the world of tomorrow.
Working with Varied Partners
Teaming up with different, less than obvious partners, forming new and unlikely bonds, developing new ways of collaboration and finding uncharted and unknown ways of branching out is a definitive way of staying relevant and creative.
Use Technology To Be Creative And Happy
Technology should ultimately be an enabler to enhance our personal lives in a better way.
Technology is best used when it complements us and enriches our lives in a positive way. We should be more happy, more creative and have spare time to spend doing what we love.

Sensemaking refers to the process of creating meaning out of the chaotic world around us.
