I love this chair! Not only is it genius in ways of making, solid quality, colorful and beautiful. It also plays a very nice visual trick on you when you look at someone sitting on it, if you're not aware of the amazing weight this tiny chair can hold!
Take a look!

In team processes it's common to use tools as Belbin or MBTI to map and understand diversity. These tools are often complicated and expensive to use. And quite often they contribute to stereotype and increase the differences between the members of the group.

Arts, redesign and cabin business
Went to Stokkøya in late October 2009 for the first time in unbelievable sunshine. The founders have used young creatives from Norway and Sweden and have let them played with basically local trash to make this a real redesign oasis. They have ended up with a beautiful site. Creative arts have definately made this place good business! A wonderful vision from a couple of wonderful people! Worth the visit. http://www.stokkoya.no.

Leadership and music
Leadership and music have so many parallels.
Miha Pogacnik gives here a very inspiring and fun talk and demonstration on some of the important lessons we can learn from music. He says both the questions and the answers are all there. In fact he describes it as an increadable world that we are not yet able to use. Music and art is a great teacher!
We need to connect business and arts to solve complex problems in the world - because they cannot do it on their own!

Innovasjon = samarbeid
| Innovasjon handler om å slippe tankene løs sammen med andre og skape rammer og systemer, som gir kreativiteten vinger. (Lotte Darsø) |
| For det handler om det, som alle virksomheter er på jakt etter: Innovasjion. Det nye, det annerledes, det grenseoverskridende. Det som fører til ting, som ingen har tenkt på i dag, men alle har bruk for i morgen. "Alle virksomheter har blitt klar over, at de er nødt til å ha innovasjon, men samtidig er det et meget luftig begrep, som det blir snakket om i øst og i vest. I mange kretser er det fortsatt en litt gammeldags holdning, at innovasjon handler om produktutvikling og teknologi. Hvis bare vi kan utvikle en ny dings, så er det vel nok fantastisk. Men det er ikke tilstrekkelig. Vi skal passe på, at vi ikke begynner å utvikle produkter bare for produktenes egen skyld", fastslår Lotte Darsø, som er ph. d. i innovasjon og leder af en Executive Master-uddannelse i innovation i København. »Begrebet innovasjon stammer fra 30 tallet og betyr nytenking, som skaper økonomisk vekst, men vi blir nødt til å utvide begrepet, for i vårt moderne kunnskapssamfunn er der flere former for verdier, som er viktige. Vi skal fokusere på den menneskelige faktor, for man kan kun oppnå innovasjon, når mennesker samarbeider og kommuniserer på en måte som gjør dem motivert og engasjert«. www.kibu.no www.dpu.dk www.jp.dk |

Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity | Video on TED.com
Legger inn et innlegg i debatten om skolen vår som Håvard Tjora fra "Blanke ark" har satt på dagsorden.
Kreativitet har ingen plass i skolen fordi lærere ikke vet hvordan de skal håndtere eller identifisere kreativitet hos barn. Barn med kreative evner blir gjerne sett på som vanskelige, urolige, forstyrrende for lærerens opplegg. Hvis vi skal ha en mulighet til å håndtere utfordringene som venter i vår verden fremover må vi ha originale ideer. Vi må finne en måte å takle og ta vare på kreativitet i barna. Kreativitet er predikert til å være den viktigste egenskapen i verden fremover. Hvorfor ikke ta det på alvor?
Se dette inspirerende foredraget av Ken Robinson på temaet og bli inspirert!
