As part of the World Drucker Forum in Vienna (14-15 November 2013), the Drucker Forum has announced an Essay Contest for students, managers and entrepreneurs under 35. Young management innovators are invited to share their views on what innovators can learn from Arts and Sciences.
The World Drucker Forum is one of the most prestigious management conferences, and winners of this contest can get a great exposure to their ideas. It would be great to see some of the WBS students participating in this contest.
Theme and Context
INNOVATION INSPIRATION:
Lessons for Innovators From the Arts & Sciences
As he looked for ways to grapple with the demands of an increasingly complex world, Peter Drucker found clues in an unlikely place: Japanese art.
“The Japanese paintings are dominated by empty space,” Drucker observed of one collection, made up largely of 15th-century landscapes and 19th-century sketches of monks and deities. “It is not only that so much of the canvas is empty. The empty space organizes the painting.”
The same, of course, holds true for ourselves and our enterprises: It’s the creation of empty space—moments when we shut off all outside distractions and give ourselves the opportunity to really think—that can determine whether we’re organized effectively, especially in an era when an onslaught of data and information threatens to overwhelm us all.
This November, as hundreds of executives and scholars gather in Vienna at the fifth annual Peter Drucker Global Forum to wrestle with the theme “Managing Complexity,” Drucker’s insight is sure to prove particularly powerful. But so is his multidisciplinary approach.
With the launch of the Drucker Challenge essay and video contest, we invite you to reach beyond the traditional realm of business—to the arts and sciences, just as Peter Drucker did—to help unleash your ideas. How can this kind of broad thinking challenge commonly held perspectives, allow us to see hidden opportunities, and explore new ways to trigger innovation not just in business, but in government, education and other parts of the social sector?
Here are just some of the questions you might address
