This is eat sleep work repeat, a weekly series of podcasts about happiness and work culture.

This is Eat Sleep, work repeat. This is Eat Sleep, Work Repeat. Thank you for listening. I'm Bruce

Daisy. Hit me up on Twitter. Endorse me on LinkedIn. You can do all of those

things. Really good guest today. If you're going to make work more enjoyable,

you need to think about how you bring more creative ideas into day-to-day work. So I wanted to look at that,

and I guess you know, if you wanted to call it something lofty, you'd call it system thinking.

I was thinking how can we redesign work.

The reason why is we've heard over these few episodes recently that you need to think

about how you design things.

One of the things that's clear is that if you're

thinking about jobs going forward, creativity and innovation are a really

critical component. I read something I might have mentioned on one of these.

The jobs under 20 pounds an hour are going to be automated in 10 years

time, which is simultaneously sort of terrifying and also it's something that's incredibly

hard to get your head around. But obviously, as alarming as that is, it reminds us that the one thing that humans are still best at is ideas in creativity.

Putting ideas together in different ways. So if you're thinking about the future of work, it's not just about getting a job done, a thing sold, a thing promoted,

getting some press coverage for something, it's about coming up with new ideas.

And the company's that are the most imaginative, the most inventive, are those ones that have the

best chance of winning.

If you sit in the middle of a company today,

what can you do to make your work more creative?

And one of the best people I thought to talk to is today's guest.
