Have you ever thought of creating a personal tagline that defines your life philosophy and work? In a way, it’s a way to brand your life, a constant reminder of how you want to live in your own style. When you “just flow”, you realise you can embrace the idea of change and life with much more fluidity. This is the life philosophy of this week’s guest, Maurici Segú, a creative leader in the hospitality industry that has worked from getting hotels to transform from places to stories and is an expert in finding the value of what’s within everything you do. 

Maurici is also an avid traveller himself for both work and pleasure and has spent almost two years straight sleeping in hotels, leading him to publish his first book: “Solitary Nights in Hotels” where he shares reflections he had at that time. Founder of Innovarout, a consultancy company that takes companies through the innovation cycles, Maurici has worked with hundreds of organisations. He is also a public speaker and professor in several universities in Europe.

One way to redesign is to be the bridge: between past and future, between what is and wants to be, between people and ideas, between entrepreneurs and money. In this episode, we go deep with Helena Torras about innovation, future thinking, and changing power structures. We also talk about the role of startups, women and capital, as a unique access point towards new possibilities to change the usual patterns and bring in a different future. Join Helena, a connector of connectors and myself in uncovering how you can be a bridge to bring the future forward.

How will the circular economy change the way we live? How can we move away from ownership and products to a pay-per-use of services and experiences? The sharing economy opened the path in changing the model of how we consume, and now we are open to a new way of understanding our economy without waste. In this episode, we look at how to proactively change our ways of thinking: as consumers, entrepreneurs and industry leaders and generate a new vision for our future. This conversation with Dr Kim Poldner will inspire you and give you the tools to design circular business models.

Innovate your model-How the travel industry has to change its business model. In this episode, Elena was invited by Jens, the CEO of Heitland Innovation, to decode a real-life case: A family-owned hotel chain with hotels in a couple of major European cities is hit hard by the pandemic. The owners' family is looking to reinvent themselves finding new ways to position the hotels and explore new business models. In this episode, we talk about how to redesign business models as a source of innovation and how regeneration can be the key to unlocking sources of creativity and hidden value propositions. It is all about how we rethink the model, how we reframe partnerships and our relationship with clients, and how we build the core values of the business as the holding structure. Whether in hospitality or not, this case will widen your perspective on how to position innovation and redesign business models.
