Why investing in fostering a curious culture is a safe bet
The working world as we know it is in flux with vast and simultaneous changes afoot in broader society post-pandemic. A culture of curiosity enhances our ability to problem solve and adapt in ever-changing markets. Now is the time to embrace curiosity in the spirit of innovation.

— Prof. Peter Childs, episode #2 fluxfutures podcast
