“The Creative City”
- making use of the Medici Effect
Source: Faltin
Trailblazing thinkers and inventors are changing the world by stepping into an idea space where ideas from different cultures and fields meet and collide, ultimately igniting an explosion of extraordinary new discoveries.
The term „Medici Effect” is referring to the remarkable burst of creativity enabled by the Medici banking family in Renaissance Italy.
Frans Johansson, Harvard Business School Press.

The elements of the Medici Effect(Positive Turbulence)
•difference (breaking out of the status quo)
•multiple perspectives (inviting divergent viewpoints and nontraditional interpretations)
•intensity (keeping the speed, volume and force of the turbulence at an optimal level for change)
•receptivity (providing mechanisms for individuals to be able to thrive in an environment driven by positive turbulence).

Gryskiewicz‘s strongest recommendations:
the arts,
which can shift our perspectives, move us emotionally,
and bring to the surface our tacit assumptions.

Link to the people,
avoid the context of commercialization

Don‘t sell products.
But if you stubbornly believe in products,
use them as transmitters for experience,
for a story
Source: Faltin
Link to the traditional roots, the authenticity,
the cultural heritage, the contemporary arts
There are incredible values to discover
that work in your favor:
the vitality, the vibrancy,
the spiritedness, the magic.

Just to remind us:
Culture is the base of everything

Most entrepreneurs succeedby pursuing ideas
that are not only sound business opportunitiesbut also fit with
their personal criteria, desired life styleand values

Create something original that stands out,
something with a lasting value.
Above all, you want to be proud of your product.
Such was my business philosophy .

Ways for start-ups to attract attention
In modern society the media are the key for attracting attention;
paid advertisements are a poor and expensive substitute.
Use your personal background, the innovative aspects of your product
Play as unconventional, as unorthodox as possible
The message: You can go to the beach
we will take care of your office

The modern entrepreneur has more in common with an artist
than with the traditional business manager

Take a different view of the world.
Be curious, learn and free yourselfof conventional rules.
