Charles Handy on Reinventing Society

source: The RSA 2015年11月13日
Pioneering thinker and visionary Charles Handy asks what the aims of an ideal future society would be.
Charles Handy CBE is one of the giants of contemporary thought. His books on management have changed the way we view business, and his work on broader issues and trends has changed the way we view contemporary society. He now turns his formidable mind to our future.
Society is undergoing a wholescale revision - we are seeing dramatic changes in the way we live, work, educate our children, and govern ourselves. Technology has given us freedom, independence, and the means to do things ourselves, but do we need more to fully utilise our own potential? Is capitalism in its current iteration a sustainable system, and how long can we work with a society built on credit and an economy built on growth alone? Pioneering thinker Charles Handy visits the RSA to chart some of these changes, and offer some creative ways forward.

Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic: "Storytelling with Data" | Talks at Google

source: Talks at Google 2015年11月11日
It’s surprisingly easy to make a confusing graph. No one sets out with that purpose, but it happens frequently—across all industries and by all sorts of well-intending people. One way to avoid this challenge is to never simply show data, but rather to tell a story with it.
Former Googler Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic teaches people how to turn data into high impact visual stories that stick with their audiences. Join this engaging session, moderated by Tina Malm and Davey Nickels, where Cole features highlights from her new book, storytelling with data: a data visualization guide for business professionals. Hear about the powerful strategies that were honed through her work on the People Analytics team and the data visualization course that Cole created at Google and taught at offices throughout the US and Europe.
