Uncovering workplace biases by Oscar Venhuis.

Since 2020 our global community of great minds, Dr Richard Claydon and I have been co-hosting Dialogic Drinks, a virtual, cohort-based learning method. Our dialogic format has been tested - which began out of necessity during COVID pandemic - over five hundred hours with participants from over 43 countries and delved into subjects from leadership to philosophy, psychiatry, complexity science and behaviour.

It's time for change and explore if we can improve our current approach. Our regular sessions are prepared by a guest host. In this experimental session we’re going to try something new. We’ll attempt to break the current format and develop a new dialogic one. Is it possible to have a Dialogic Drinks session without the usual preparation and instead have participants decide the flow of the dialogue?

Find out and tune in.

During my teenage years - I was adopted by a loving family in the mid 70’s - I discovered that my orphanage documents were fabricated; this wasn’t an uncommon practice during the 1970’s and this custom continues even today in Korea. The realisation of the fragility of reality and how it can change abruptly meant that throughout my formative years I had a laissez-faire and stoic attitude to uncertainty.

Somehow I was fortunate enough to attend the world’s best art schools including Arnhem in the Netherlands and the Royal College of Art in the U.K. After a manic creative career at Nike, Adidas, Mulberry and working with UBS and Star Wars I decided to apply my creativity to the domain of Business Design; an emergent discipline that bridges the gap between thinking and doing of multiple disciplines of product management, monetisation and organisational design. 

I keep myself inspired by living on Lamma Island 🏝️, the hermit kingdom of Hong Kong, and by producing The Last Supper on Spotify, a weekly podcast featuring new and established artists, curators, gallerists and collectors in Asia.
