Week #16 in Review
Christoph Magnussen
Founder & CEO Blackboat | #WorkFaster with AI ? | Making New Work work since 2010
There is so much happening in just one week. So here is the last week in a hands-on overview for you (see the book tips from our guests at the very end):
MONDAY
Podcast with author, speaker and consultant Tim Leberecht
Tim Leberecht has found success as author, speaker and consultant. He has spent more than 10 years living in the Silicon Valley and has recently started to look for a different way of running the economy. His first statement for that cause was the book "The Business Romantic". His 'House of Beautiful Business' conference, where his ideas will be developed further, will be held in Lissabon for the third time from November 2 - 6.
TUESDAY
VLOG from the Frankwatching Digital Workspace Event in Utrecht
We've been invited by Frankwatching to kick off their digital workspace event and decided to film the full keynote again since we got so much feedback from you guys. This is the impression from their event.
WEDNESDAY
Review Day! You just read it.
Subcribe here to never miss a video and follow us here to never miss a podcast.
THURSDAY
Full English Keynote - This is NOT NEw Work w/ Q&A
We've got so much feedback from the last full keynote video that we decided to also upload a full English version of the 'This is NOT New Work' keynote.
How can work become something that strengthens people instead of weakening them? We have to think about how we actually work and how the digital transformation is shaping the new work idea. Most companies that use the term 'new work' use it for marketing purposes but are afraid to actually unlock the full potential digitalization can have for their people. Combined with the question what we really, really want in our life (from Frithjof Bergmann), we can start thinking about this exciting time that we live in, in a much different way.
Leave a comment if you think you have found out what you really, really want to do in your life.
FRIDAY
Podcast with Daniel Barke, CEO and founder of Work Genius
Daniel Barke is the Co-Founder and CEO aon Work Genius (formerly mylittlejob). His company is one the big players in digital and tech with over 300.000 freelancers to contract. Daniel and his co-founder Marving jointly lead the company from Hamburg and New Work. They just dont talk about New Work, the are living it.
Saturday/Sunday
Fire, Food and Music is connecting People | Workspaces & People: Amsterdam - ZOKU
Zoku means ‘tribe, clan or family’ in Japanese and provides a home base for travelling professionals who are living and working in a city for periods from a few days to a few months.
You could call Zoku a re-invented apartment hotel – in fact – it creates a new category in the hotel industry: a home-office hybrid with hotel services, which is a relaxed place to live, work and socialize with like-minded people while getting wired into the city.
Business travel can often be lonely and uninspiring. This is the place for you to quickly get rooted in the city, join inspirational talks and connect with your neighbors and the locals.

About myself:
I am one of the crew members and founder at Blackboat. A digital consultancy specialized in New Work and Cloud Collaboration. https://www.blackboat.com. In this role I am also quite frequently on stage as a keynote speaker (https://www.christophmagnussen.com). But my true passion is filmmaking. You will see a lot about this topic this year. We are currently building something new!
