Who do you need to learn from?

 

 

In the last 100 days, I have done more than 50 (!) one-hour one-on-one interviews with leading innovators around the world.

 

From Nicholas McQuire, Director, Strategic Missions and Technologies at Microsoft, Microsoft, (UK)

 

to Rafael de Jesus, Head of Innovation Teams Partnership & Development Petrobas (Brazil)

 

From Angelica Garza, Chief Human Resources Officer Aeromexico, (Mexico)

 

to David De Schutter, Global VP Innovation & Technology Development AB InBev (Belgium)

 

And many, many more.

 

I have learnt more about the creative process, how big organisations innovate, about creativity in different parts of the world, and much much more.

 

I might have studied creativity for the last 25+ years but it is my experience that you can learn something new in every single conversation you have with an

expert on a topic you are interested in.

 

That is why I always say that the main job of a speaker is not to speak – but to speak to people. To do research. To explore his/her topic.

 

And that is important to anyone wanting to develop in any field.

 

Who do you need to speak to?

 

What do you need to learn?

P.S. While some of the interviews have been done in person in countries such as Germany, Montenegro and Sweden. Most of them have been done via Zoom – a wonderful tool for in-person interviews and research.

Before the acceptance of virtual meetings there is no way I could have done so many interviews across so many regions as I have done in the last 100 days. And most of them I have been doing while sitting on my little island in the archipelago of Stockholm. Every man might very well be an island – but thanks to Zoom we are now connected 😉
