One Woman's Quest To Elevate The Female Heroes Of The 21st Century | Co.Exist | ideas +... - 0 views

  •  
    A blog post by Jessica Leber published by Fastcoexist.com about Angeline Gragasin, a documentary producer and her Women of the Future, a monthly series of webisodes on inspiring renaissance women. Love the quote below attributed to the first interviewee Eva Franch, a Catalan architect who directs Storefront for Art and Architecture, in NYC SoHo neighborhood. Excerpt In a 30-second preview clip you can watch above, Franch shares with Gragasin her inspiring thoughts on creativity: "Culture is about expanding your horizon of expectations in relationship to what is possible. Curiosity is actually the only thing that allows you to go further, right? To find new horizons."

"Successful infographic tells a story. "Hero is one key element of piece." "Take complicated data and convert to something simple. Hours to seconds..."

Is Uber redefining the work week? | Olivia Barrow | LinkedIn - 0 views

  • Is the gig economy just an intermediate step in the progression toward a fully automated robotic workforce?
  • my fictitious medical device firm would need to adjust to a team-based deadline model, with incentives to make sure the job gets done on time by somebody, even if the 5-hours-a-week-employee and the 10-hours-a-week-employee both decide not to work this month.
