Why are you alive? How should you live? How can you turn your life into a work of art? How can you live an authentic life – that is, live the life that you were meant to live? You will learn to examine your life and the choices you make from the standpoint of freedom, meaning, and community – and how to design projects that give meaning to your life.
Reframing is a technique to change the way you look at the world, and to change the way you act in the world. A five-step technique to turn the things that irritate you, that frustrate you, or that cause you pain, into new situations where you are in control, and which you can enjoy. I use real-life examples from my workshops of people who have use Reframing to change the way they look at themselves, to get a new perspective on their environment, or to become less fearful. They have used these new perspectives to make lasting changes in their lives.
Use the five-step Reframing method to start thinking differently about products, projects, stakeholders, business models and customers. Challenge cherished assumptions and reframe these to design radically innovative approaches that you can put into practice right away.
Why is the world the way that is is now? How did it get to be this way, and how will it change in the future? What fundamental changes are upon us, and how will this affect me? A paradigm is a way of looking at the world and a way of acting in the world. Recognizing and understanding paradigm shifts allows us to understand the fundamental changes that we are going through.
Ideally, feedback offers wonderful opportunities for improvement in the creative process. Giving and receiving feedback well is not easy, however. All too often, those giving feedback fall into judgment or giving advice, and those receiving feedback become overwhelmed and defensive: we find it hard not to take it personally.
These feedback formats – adapted from existing feedback and thinking techniques – will help you to break through usual feedback patterns and to separate thinking from emotion. Feel free to use the videos, powerpoints and handouts in your own sessions. These formats are specifically for group peer feedback sessions on work-in-progress – if your situation is different, you will need to adapt them. Good luck!
Kunstmatige intelligentie verandert ons werk ingrijpend. We kunnen AI gebruiken om repeterende taken te automatiseren, en om onszelf te versterken door sneller te werken en meer te produceren. De echte verschuiving is echter het herkaderen van werk: het combineren van onze menselijke verbeelding en bewuste behoeften met de krachtige capaciteiten van AI-modellen. Dat betekent van taken uitvoeren naar output regisseren, van alles zelf doen naar het dirigeren van een team onvermoeibare assistenten, van doen naar vragen. In deze interactieve lezing verkennen we de kansen en valkuilen, waar je begint met experimenteren in je dagelijkse werk, en hoe je de omslag maakt naar een vak dat nooit meer hetzelfde zal zijn.
Radicaal anders denken. Waarom denken we wat we denken, en doen we wat we doen? We handelen vaak uit gewoonte, of kunnen niet goed uitleggen waarom we doen wat we doen. Veel van onze denkkaders zijn dan ook gebaseerd op twijfelachtige of verkeerde aannames. Met een blik naar inzichten uit de wetenschapsfilosofie gaan we zelf onze aannames bevragen, radicaal nieuwe aannames formuleren, en dit vertalen naar anders handelen.
