Evolutionary Wave hits Sicily

2015, October, 05

What could be better than going to Sicily at the end of September, being on the seaside and taking part in a stimulating, intimate gathering of future shapers?

The event had a great name as well: Evolutionary Wave. It brought together about 100 executive guests from diverse companies for a fun and purpose-filled program of presentations, discussions, and social activities. I was especially pleased to share the stage with, and get to know Mr. Jay Elliot, a former close colleague of Steve Jobs, who has fascinating stories about taking part in shaping Apple.
Here is a press release of the event:

Companies with the best sense of humor
At the start of this month was arguably the most important date of the annual corporate calendar. It was none other than April 1st, aka April Fools Day. Humor is one of the most universal manifestations of creativity, which is the central fuel for future-shaping companies. Not surprisingly, more and more organizations worldwide are embracing humor as a core cultural dimension, and we see an exponential, global proliferation from year to year of companies commemorating April Fools’ Day, the annual celebration of laughter and childlike fun. These organizations conceive of and bring to life farcical campaigns on April 1st, signaling to all internal and external constituents that they, as an organization, have a sense of humor and appreciate levity.
