2016 04 11 VISITING SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL WORLDS

Swarovski Crystal Worlds was opened in 1995 to mark the centennial anniversary of the company’s founding. Multimedia artist André Heller designed a unique and magical place. This beloved attraction has brought moments of wonder to over twelve million visitors from all around the world. Visitors are surprised, touched, and perhaps even transformed by crystal in all its facets.

In May 2015, Swarovski Crystal Worlds ushered in a new era of wonder. The Chambers of Wonder exude a new brilliance; five of them have been completely redesigned and expanded outwards to include an open space of crystalline nature: the garden. In this magical place, you will encounter modern art as well as ancient history. Visit the Giant and his garden and let yourself be enchanted by the beauty, inspiration and energy, the care, and esthetics.

A GLANCE INTO THE FUTURE OF WORK

BENEDICT SMITH

Exciting as it is, the world of work can be a complicated, unnerving, daunting place. New trends, inventions and innovative ways of working are born in the morning and die by teatime – swept aside by an even newer, even better tech, app, software or idea.

Blink and you’ll find yourself behind the times, and made to feel old –  the dinosaur in the room on the verge of extinction. The pace of change is relentless, and a job in itself to keep up with it all.

But fortunately, that’s where Leslie Willcocks comes in. As the Professor of Technology, Work and Globalisation at London School of Economics, and a recipient of The PWC World Outsourcing Achievement Award, he’s made it his life’s work to explore the rapidly changing world of business and work. And today, he shed some light on a slice of it.
