Our guest today is someone who is described as a visionary. Though he is pretty humble about it, he has proven to be a progressive and creative thought leader. 

Francesco's first work experience was in the assembly line of a book factory when he was 15. His following few jobs fell almost under the same umbrella, including customer-centric experiences like working at a restaurant or as a barista. And as Francesco describes it, this type of work offered little to no opportunity to be creative. So was the educational system that he enrolled in. German schools often followed a tedious curriculum that regurgitated the material one has learned.

Fortunately for him, his upbringing influenced his future in positive ways. Francesco recalls how his parents told him that he can do whatever he sets his mind to. This advice helped him open his mind and become curious about possibilities.

As a young adult, he broadened his horizons through traveling, learning from others, and immersing himself in different cultures. He actively uses the knowledge he gained from these experiences and transfers it to his work environment.

Nowadays, creativity comes naturally to Francesco. He loves being challenged - the fewer tools and resources available, the more exciting the task is.

How to encourage teams to be more creative and innovative?

The first thing to consider is what the challenges of the company are? The second is finding people who fit the various profiles that can produce an orthogonal approach to problems. Francesco suggests finding good candidates by testing their problem-solving skills with limited resources. 



Companies should create a framework that enables their team members to thrive. This can be accomplished by forming a trust-based environment, where failure is allowed and even encouraged. Permission to fail creates a sense of safety that can only later be repaid in positive development.

Diversifying the workplace can also play a significant role in driving creativity and innovation. And even though non-diverse teams can be more successful in linear work, they can sometimes lack perspective and creative innovation, which trumps all.  

The question then arises of raw talent vs. effort: Is it more valuable to have a curious mind or to put in the work? David Sinclair quotes, "Never hire people based on skills, look for passion and raw talent. This cannot be taught." Francesco argues that it depends on company's current needs; nonetheless, it will always be on a case-by-case basis.

The thought of being a visionary may sound like an exclusive quality, but it is specifically what gives modern companies a competitive edge. 

Kim, the founder of Berg & Macher, takes us on a journey through her lens of experience to learn what worked for her company. Berg & Macher is an organization development company whose mission is to create a more motivating environment where team members feel comfortable contributing their creative and innovative ideas. With Kim's background in communication science and her psychology and company culture expertise, these ingredients combined create a specific recipe for success.

In today's highly competitive business and constantly changing environment, companies must adapt to become more innovative. Bringing together diverse team members can help introduce different perspectives to problem-solving.

Recruitment is where we begin. Using Kim's recruitment process as an example, she presents every possible employee with different cases and tasks that can display their agility and core values. It's all about starting early with building great teams with the same vision and purpose.

Kim suggests giving one space from the hustle and bustle of entrepreneur life to become more creative from an individual level. There is a deception that focus is what generates creativity when in reality, it's the opposite. 

Relaxing and letting your mind flow freely invites creativity and innovation.

Just like it is essential to brainstorm as a team, it is equally important to have that inner drive to discover problems that will then need a solution. Admittedly, it is a mindset that needs to be tapped into - but inspiration is omnipresent. Exposing yourself to different cultures and ideas and having external guidance can play an essential role in creative development.

Francesco Enrico Carbone, COO at Kenjo, on Bringing Positive Change Through The Workplace

How many times, we heard of the importance of having a positive workforce? And how often we thought this is a fun thing rather than a serious investment in an organization?

Most companies don't invest in their workplace culture. It's not something they proactively plan for. It's not often part of their vision or mission. They are generally too busy with other more important priorities. And perhaps don't really know how to do it.

30 billion people are working on this planet, but only 40% of them report that they are happy at work. Organizations with happy employees have up to 3 times more revenue. And no, not because they are better paid. You don't have to spend more money to make your employees happier. It's not about ping-pong tables and massages and pet walking; it's not about perks. It's all about how they are treated by their leaders and the people they work with.

Investing in your employees is the best thing you can do if you really want to grow your organization. In a world where the workplace is changing, human resources are evolving. Kenjo supports HR teams to become a strategic partner within their company, helping people reach their potential and truly thrive. Kenjo is not only an HR admin tool but also an engagement, empowerment, and people management software.



Today's guest believes in human potential. He is passionate about studying what truly drives people and businesses. He believes that the real impact happens at work, and true positive change starts at the workplace. A change that affects business and makes us better humans, better partners, better friends, and better parents.

During this conversation, Francesco drives us through his vision and mission. We learn about his upbringing and what led him to do what he does these days. We talk about the factors that lead to excellent performance and unleashing potential.

I was particularly interested in understanding Francesco's personal approach and outlook on the topic of developing human potential. Kenjo is revolutionizing performance management. The software assesses employees and managers and identifying leaders and who need support. It provides assessment metrics templates. I wanted to know the role its COO plays in all of this and how he transferred his personal interests and ambitions into his work to positively impact and influence more people.

Meet Francesco Enrico Carbone, COO at Kenjo. The Culture Architect.
