This year at the Lift conference Dannie and I have decided to put in a proposal for a workshop called “creativity utopia. We have done this on basis of ” well yeah it’s great to have different approaches, unusual thinking, and mysterious and creative ways” – but creativity is just so superhyped these days that one might think that creativity alone will save the world ( it won’t)… 

My point is that deciding to be creative for the sake of “being creative” is not going to get you anywhere – it’s basically a bunch of hype and an overrated utopia of businessprocesses.  It’s empty. 

The “Henriette task” of this workshop, is to get you to realize what will take you to your own creativity – and not exactly creativity itself.  I will give you my recipe on how i work around creativity. Creativity is interaction. I have stated that a thousand times. But how do you pick up the creative ball and run with it ? how do you get ACTION from A-Z without loosing touch ? 

 I hope to see you there =) 

In my world of “currently-very-busyness” – I realised today that BarCamp Copenhagen was just 2 weeks away. Im really excited!. Excited because I know that BarCamp Copenhagen is gonna be sweet this year – and as Kim said “everything we predicted last year has come true”… Which is absolutely amazing! – I bet we will end up with an IT-underground map of 2008 when the evening is over.

We still have around 5 seats open – if you want to join the fun you can sign up here.

Also the way it has been hyped in the online communities I have come to realise that BarCamp Copenhagen is probably one of the most undergroundish things about the IT-industry in Denmark- which kicks ass – and it wasn’t intended that way..

But people has started to claim me the “queen of the danish IT-underground” – partly based on BarCamp – which is a title I am flattered to receive but still it’s not that true – or is it ?

Anyway I am looking forward to meet you all =) – it’s gonna be fantastic.

also a HUGE (HUGE HUGE) thanks to my wonderful team of fellow BarCamp organisers, Kim, Troels and Thomas - you guys rock !
