ENTREPRENEURS ARE THE ARTISTS OF THE BUSINESS WORLD
Date : 15th November 2016
Venue: The Garden - Area 31
Time: 19:00 - 21:00
Nir Hindi invites us to return to renaissance thinking – combining art with engineering, science, and technology. Nir especially advocates the connection between artistic talent and business entrepreneurship, two areas that fuel each other and provide endless opportunities for mutual learning.
In an era when companies struggle to be innovative and creative, compete on talent, and constantly look for the next big thing, Nir inspires listeners to think differently about innovation and creativity, emphasizing the shift in mindset required of business professionals in order to lead in the future.
A Renaissance of Renaissance Thinking
In this session, Nir advocates the connection between business success and renaissance thinking – combining the brain of a scientist with the empathy and sensibility of an artist. Using examples of leaders in the business world that have already capitalized on the synergy of art and science, he raises questions such as: is it the balance between the right brain and the left brain that made this person or company successful? How can we accomplish this balance? Why should we do it? These questions help to initiate a change in paradigm.
