Insight where you least expect it.

Creating art has always been one of the most powerful ways for human beings to make sense of themselves and their world. Art holds up a mirror to our desires, our actions, and our ideals. It carves out a space where we can imagine different realities; it reveals our obligations to society and one another.

“Thank you so much for your vibrant, riveting presentation.
You have a remarkable program.”

In this third decade of the 21st century, business is discovering that art is more than entertainment or decoration. With the rise of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the rapidly evolving nature of work itself, the qualities that artists possess—creativity, curiosity, humanity, and craft-specific skills—are now valued and in demand.

“Besides the enthusiastic ovation at the end, applause during a program is unheard of for our series.”

In a program that explores this promising new relationship, I profile artists on the cutting edge of business and technology and the companies who welcome them.
