「夢是一個人與自己內心的真實對話,是向自己學習的過程,是另一次與自己息息相關的人生。」弗洛伊德在《夢的解析》中這樣說道。人們常覺夢中之事皆為幻想,有些夢中的嘗試如莊周夢蝶之說與現實難分真假,但不可否認,這些夢境裡出現的事情,在現實中實現也不無可能。
碧西·威廉士(Aiyemobisi William)與布魯斯·茅聯合創辦了「巨變網絡」(Massive Change Network),並擔任首席靈感官,在12月3日-4日舉辦的「未·未來」全球教育計劃「激活創新」圓桌對話中,將與大家分享她最大的靈感,和有關夢與未來的一切。
碧西·威廉士,出生於加拿大曼尼託巴省,畢業於瑞爾森大學並獲得新聞報導學位,碧西利用遠見卓識和跨學科的新趨勢來啟迪和開發整體戰略和工具,為客戶創造價值並推動可持續增長。在她的領導下,「巨變網絡」已經成為一家致力於塑造和定義企業設計實踐的全球性公司。除此之外,她在生活中還扮演著記者、設計師、妻子和母親的角色。
如果做夢可以成為一個專業,那這個專業產出的必定是通向未來的靈感。碧西·威廉士一直以來在追尋使世界變得更好。她在多家媒體公司擔任過一系列的職務,並由此非常關注彌合流行文化與高雅藝術、文學和政治變革之間的裂縫。她還擔任西北大學凱洛格管理學院的學術顧問。在「大變革網絡」降生之前,威廉士創立過「野花」——一個致力於多樣性和人文發展的多倫多年度活動和社交加速器。
碧西·威廉士還致力於創造一個更美好世界的組織和機構,如加拿大安省美術館、「一人教一人」掃盲計劃和發電廠當代藝術畫廊等,創新策劃了多倫多的特殊活動。在她的新家鄉芝加哥,威廉士繼續為重要的文化機構進行創意活動的策劃,包括謝德水族館、拉維尼亞音樂節和芝加哥藝術學院時裝系。
在碧西·威廉士不斷追尋更美好的世界的過程中,不斷獲取靈感成為了重要的一環。但現實中往往有太多無法打破的藩籬,使得靈感不得不困在潛意識深處。而夢境中的靈感就如同的獨角獸,只願意在純潔沒有舒服的就如同夢境的地方出現、玩耍。而如果做夢能成為一個專業,那麼這個專業就可以幫助人們知道夢境裡嬉戲的獨角獸是什麼樣子,有何形態,幫助人們從夢中獲得可以在現實中迸發的靈感,讓人們可以借著獨角獸,步向未來。
Aiyemobisi 「Bisi」 Williams has worn many hats in pursuit of making the world a better place for all its inhabitants. A journalist, designer, wife and mother, she currently serves as Chief Inspiration Officer for Massive Change Network, the design consultancy she co-founded with Bruce Mau. Williams taps into visionary thinking and emerging trends across disciplines to inform and evolve holistic strategies and tools to create value and drive sustainable growth for clients. Under her leadership, Massive Change Network has become a global firm committed to shaping and defining the emerging practice of enterprise design.
Williams speaks addresses groups on the power of design to change the world. Most recently, she spoke at the 「What Design Can Do 2017」 in Amsterdam and at 「The Human Element Communications Consortium,」 an platform to facilitate networking between communicators across select top companies and share best practices, both from inside these organizations, as well as external perspectives from industry leaders.
Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Williams grew up in Canada and graduated from Ryerson University with a degree in Journalism. She held a series of positions with media firms where she developed an intense focus on bridging the gap between popular culture and high art, literature, and political transformation. Prior to the inception of Massive Change Network, Williams founded WildFlower, an annual Toronto event and social accelerator committed to diversity and human development. She led creative development of special events in Toronto for organizations and institutions committed to creating a better world such as The Art Gallery of Ontario, the Each One Teach One adult literacy program and The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery. In her adopted hometown of Chicago, Williams continues to participate in developing creative events for major cultural institutions, including The Shedd Aquarium, Ravinia Festival, and the Fashion Department of The School of The Art Institute of Chicago. She also has served as an academic advisor for the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University.
