Hear from Matthias on Creative Technology. Creativity and technology are often thought of as two separate disciplines. We will explore in this talk why they are indeed two sides of the same coin and harnessing this perspective has the potential to create superior outcomes. How do we encourage individuals to go out of their comfort zone? How do we encourage them to be inspired and collaboratively turn their curiosity into sticky products customers love?
