Knowledge is about learning from experience – whether your personal exploits or from the experiences of others. Pim de Morree and Joost Minnaar quit their professional jobs and co-founded Corporate Rebels to identify companies that have innovated how to better engage people with their work.

By learning from the experiences of others, they developed insights on things that any organization or practitioner can do to make work fun. Their work captured the attention of such media as The New York Times, Forbes and BBC, and they achieved the “Top 30 Emergent Management Thinkers” from Thinkers50 Institute.

Pim de Morree joins this episode of Center Stage to share those insights and a new venture to help shape the future of work. Starting his career as an in industrial engineering, Pim became frustrated with the outdated working practices that challenge productivity, creativity and performance. After working three years in a corporate job, he knew he needed something different. With his long-time friend Joost, both quit their jobs, formed a partnership, and set off to research, write about and share knowledge of organizations that make work fun.

Some of the key insights surfaced during this podcast episode include:

Anyone can enable change, from people just entering the workforce to innovators at the staff level.
Innovation and change in structures and ways of working are happening everywhere around the globe and in all types of organizations, including long-time traditional organizations as well as start-ups.
The future of work – whether changing organizational structures, cultures or ways of working – require all of us to embrace continuous learning. That also means we have to unlearn or let go of things that made us successful in the past because those factors may hold us back from ensuring our future relevance.
