This new special IULM FLOW Talk aims to understand, reflect and approach with critical thinking how the "Creativity and Design" discipline is dealing with the global challenge by exploring all innovative, unusual, and disruptive approaches, methods, visions, experiments, and ideas generated in these times of uncertainty and opportunity.
Thanks to the intervention of writer, popularizer and international keynote speaker Oscar di Montigny we will go deeper into themes such as Sferical Economy®, Humanovability® and Gratitude by analyzing them through creative talents.

"We need creative problem solvers who think, feel and act in new ways. Women and men who use their intelligence not only to enrich themselves but also to uplift humanity, leading the world with an entrepreneurial mind, social heart and ecological soul. We need conscious innovators: true generators of gratitude."
Oscar Di Montigny, Gratitude. The Necessary Revolution

He devised the principles of "Spherical Economy®"- to strive for an economic system that generates prosperity and not only wealth, putting the human being back at the center of the entire social system-and "Humanovability®"- to indicate the urgency of always acting, in every sphere of action within one's sphere of influence, along three developmental guidelines: human centricity (human centricity), Innovation (innovation), Sustainability (sustainability).

La rivoluzione necessaria.” In 2022 he is back in bookstores again with "6x2" published by Rizzoli.
