Age of the Inpossible
Rachel Armstrong's talk challenges us to think bigger than we ...
Rachel Armstrong's talk challenges us to think bigger than we may feel comfortable for fear that our ideas are dismissed as being impossible, or ‘science fiction’. Yet, we are at an exciting time of ‘inpossible’ discovery, (where creative events occur during the process of exploration), that is enhanced by the evolution of an emerging new technological platform, fuelled by 21st century science. The combination of extreme, collaborative thinking and a different kind of technology, may just help us reach escape velocity from the current ‘industrial’ thinking that has made us short term, economically cautious and ideologically conservative.

Agile Business Design at FREITAG
Back in 1993, graphic designers Markus and Daniel Freitag needed ...
Back in 1993, graphic designers Markus and Daniel Freitag needed a heavy-duty, functional and water-repellent bag to carry their designs. Inspired by the cheerfully coloured lorries rumbling along the cross-Zurich highway just in front of their flat, they cut a messenger bag out of an old truck tarpaulin. Thus the story of FREITAG began. Today, Daniel and Markus are still making bags in Zürich, 300'000 unique items per year, FREITAG has more than 130 employees, a world-wide distribution network and has become Switzerland's sustainable design icon: a constant drive to innovate their product, design and processes has won them countless design awards and brought their bags to MoMA's famed design collection.
