Metafari


	FOR... business

New perspectives for business Rafaels ole Moono's answer when asked about what the boss will get back: "The boss will find the same person, but with new perspectives" The Metafari believes that business and organisations who want to be aligned with the future needs to look in new directions, actively trying to find new perspectives of themselves, their clients, the market and the surrounding environment. We are leaving images of organisation based on the machine world and warfare behind us. Images of the future can be found in new places. This might be Africa or in the landscape of "Mobile Ecosystems" The Metafari provides participants with space, time and inspiration to examine and explore alternative images, perspectives and stories.

New perspectives of Africa Euvin Naidoo is an investment banker from South Africa. In this clip from the TED conference in Arusha, Tanzania Euvin wants to change your mind about Africa. Armed with facts, figures and a forward-looking outlook, he conveys a nuanced picture of a continent that's large, diverse and full of potential, with stabilizing economies and business growth. He offers persuasive reasons why the continent's challenges should be reframed as opportunities, and why investing in Africa can make great business sense. We hope this talk can provide you with a new perspective of Africa and Tanzania. You might find new markets, opportunities and partners in places you did not think of.

New perspectives on Innovation Fransico Cara from Nokia, who has a cognitive science background, talks on a conference in California about organic innovation, where innovation is created in dialogue with the end-user, in an open, interactive way. Nokia, argues Cara, advocates a human approach to technology, with a strong emphasis on dialogue. Fast prototyping and ethnography are crucial, with the latter assuming a strategic role. Listen especially to his introduction about his influence by Jean Piaget and action based theory. Also, listen to his talk about "mobile eco-systems" Finally he talks about the need of creating new metaphors of thinking when designing technology for tomorrows mobile eco systems. "Innovation is FRESH thinking that creates value"
