Howard Gardner at Triennale Milano

by jep 23 October 2010

Invited at the conference Bello Giusto Efficace of Art for Business at the Triennale in Milano I had the pleasure to meet Howard Gardner and spend a few words with him.

I discovered that he’s the one that exposed – in the last thirty years – the kindergartens of Reggio Emilia, that nowadays are taken as models ef excellence in many parts of the world… and suddenly realized why I was invited to talk about the bastard store ;)

Art For Business has been working since 2007 for making art’s contribution to organizations more recognizable, particularly regarding the impact that this languages have on people, offering new inputs and methods for continuos education.

In this context, Architecure and space utilization are perhaps important tools to help keeping a free stream of information and stimulate transfer of competence and skills from one area to another, beacuse different areas require different kinds of intelligence.

Lessons learned: QI is overrated (who cares?), never stop learning
