Work Style Talking TWSM
----------, Work Style Talking
The 5 Talks
Event in Milan during the International furniture Fair 2011
Architecture, Environment, Emotions, Organization, Identity.
5 themes to envision the future,
5 keys to open the doors of our future workplaces and
5 ways to rethink our productivity
The Work Style Magazine is exploring the workplace through the lens of these 5 themes. A journey and a challenge for the imagination and for the concept of space in which we are called to operate: from hand-crafting labs to consulting agencies, from factories to the advanced service industry, from heavy industry to the immateriality of the web and the digitalization of working processes changes, transforming our places, folding them and subjugating them to the dynamics of the change of people and social relations.
How will this process evolve? How will the space transform so to accommodate at best the time we dedicate to creativity and to our career’s development?
Work Style has invited some of the main players of the business world to try and answer these questions. They are invited to a new type of “workshop”, that the we call “Talk”, so to highlight the value of each participant who engage in the conversation, regardless of their role and status at work.
During these “Talks” hopefully everyone will learn, teach and contribute to the building of an idea that could be accessible to those who want to face the topic called “future”, and in particular, the future of the workplace.
The “Talks” will last 2 hours each and are scheduled from the 12th to the 16th of April 2011. In order to help and support them, we have chosen 5 facilitators that will help to keep the conversation going, and encouraging ideas elaboration and sharing.
With this same spirit, in order to help the visual representation of the participants ideas, Work Style has invited 5 of its illustrators, already renown among the magazine readers because of their regular contributions.
We don’t know yet what these Talks will lead us to. But we think we will create a book and a DVD and make them available to our readers.
However, what we certainly know, is that we will have the opportunity to reconsider our jobs from a different and original point of view, and we will be inspired to imagine and build our future on a broader, stronger and more colourful basis.
We’ll see you in Milan, 12 – 16 April!
