    What We Do

     

    “Because entrepreneurs are closer to artists than any other profession, we need to look at how artists are trained to redefine how we train entrepreneurs.”

    “Steve Blanc – Founder of Lean Start Up – Prof. at Stanford” 

    “Art Thinking allows you to challenge the status quo and create new norms for truth, appreciation, and relevance.”

     –  Sylvain Bureau Professor ESCP, Director Jean-Baptiste Say Institute for Entrepreneurship Paris

    "Internalizing artistic processes in your company or organization is essential to remain relevant in an uncertain and rapidly changing world."

    Koen Snoeckx, Entrepreneur , Collison Expert, Arteconomy Belgium

    Art = "precise advance knowledge of how to cope with the psychic and social consequences of the next technology"

     Marshal McLuhan ‘ Understanding Media’ 1964

    ...Beyond Uncertainty it addresses Paradox...

    “… beyond handling uncertainty ; it equips participants to address today’s complex paradoxes, like the Innovation-Sustainability or Profit-Purpose Paradox.

    These challenges require a mindset that balances seemingly opposing goals

    — creativity with responsibility,  profitability with impact-.

    – Joerg Reckhenrich-

    Improbable. Experiential . Unforgettable.

    Scientifically founded | Extraordinary Pedagogy | Experiential Learning | Immediate and Longlasting

    “All our content is scientifically validated and tested by real-life experts in the real world

    Each experience is extra-ordinary –  probably the first and last time of your life that you will be an artist – and it ends with an Improbable vernissage.

    Each participant will be able to leverage what they have learned and deepen it over time.”

    The pieces of art produced by the participants transform their vision of what is, and what could be. During the exhibitions, many taboos and questions are raised. New perspectives are outlined and improbable changes become more certain.
