Sir John Hegarty: “Creativity can change the way we feel about something and will stay with us for eternity.” [thefutureofcreativity.co.uk] The Buzz 4: “Employers from all domains make their way to creative colleges to hire people who can bring innovation and design thinking into their organisations.…sit up, take note and make the required shifts to ensure they are ready to be leaders in the Future Economy.” [medium.com] We’ll ask Meg, Hafdahl, D.
