rating_imagerating_imagerating_imagerating_imagerating_image

Our society is changing to a system of communicative self-steering according to the philosophy of Arnold Cornelis. It becomes more important to learn at the level of communicative self-steering besides learning at the level of the social ruling system. Education should contribute to that. This paper gives a view on education in a society in which people live thogether according to the logic of communicative self-steering and in which an economy of experiences is upcoming.

My background is philosophical, from Roskilde University Center outside of Copenhagen and from Eberhard-Karls Universität in Tübingen, Germany. I finished my MA last year and my phd-project, that bears the working title “The Role of Experience in the Age of Self-Realization”, was accepted at Copenhagen Business School on the Institute for Management, Politics and Philosophy (see more at: http://uk.cbs.dk/content/view/full/6784) in the beginning of 2006.

Lecture at Event 23rd of march

rating_imagerating_imagerating_imagerating_imagerating_image

Today Albert Boswijk presented an elevator speech at Event.Hosted by Sprekersplatvorm. He talked about the dilution of the concept experience. The only way to look at experiences is  to start from the perspective of the individual . He differentiated between personal,social and economical experiences. Experience economy is a symptom of deeper structural changes in society. We are moving from a social ruling system to a society where deep communicative selfsteering and selfexpression are going to be the key values. Companies have to rethink their role in the process of making meaning by the individual. Read excerpt of the book See pictures below. Download presentation English or Dutch.

Inside story on the Experience Economy by Mark van Doorn Philips Research

rating_imagerating_imagerating_imagerating_imagerating_image

“Many views on the experience economy start with the behavior of actors in society at large and try to understand and explain their dynamics. In other words, the focus is on the external, objective, physical world of experience. But since experiences are inherently personal and only exist in our own internal, subjective, mental universe it is interesting to start from the inside and see what cognitive science can tell us about the central role of experience and story. This article is therefore quite literally an inside story about the experience economy and the pervasiveness of story and text.”

Summary of Rolf Jensen’s presentation ‘The Future Makers

rating_imagerating_imagerating_imagerating_imagerating_image

Today we witnessed the presentation of Rolf Jensen, author of the best-selling book ‘The Dream Society’ and director of the Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies in ‘De Kas’ in Amsterdam. The choice for ‘De Kas’ as a location was easy since this is a place with its own story, as the owner would explain after Jensen’s presentation….

(If you have questions for Rolf Jensen that you didn’t think of immediately after the presentation but maybe thought of while reflecting on this day, or after reading this summary: post them on the site. Jensen will answer them next week)

Unleashing the Ideavirus by Seth Godin

rating_imagerating_imagerating_imagerating_imagerating_image

In a world where viral marketing, buzz and word of mouth are well-known terms for every manager, Godin, in Unleashing the Ideavirus (and for that matter also in his other books), points to the problems that companies face in implementing these concepts and also how to solve them. The same Copernican Revolution that is needed to enter the second generation of Experiences and the Support Economy, is needed within the field of marketing. The company is not – and ought not to be – at the center, but the customer, the individual, should be.

Soms moet je even stilstaan om vooruit te komen. Even om je heen kijken. De zaken op een rijtje zetten. Reflecteren bij een zonsondergang. Daarom schrijf ik dit. Ik merk namelijk de laatste tijd dat er iets aan de gang is dat groter is dan mezelf.  Er ontvouwen zich dingen die ik niet voor mogelijk [...]
