Gig Mindset

When you were a kid and handed a coloring book and coloring utensils, did you stay inside the lines or color on the outside? Parents oftentimes teach their children to carefully color inside the lines. It's what you're supposed to do - you're "supposed" to function within the boundaries that were already established for you. Entrepreneurs and innovators alike, however, reject that mindset. Instead, they metaphorically color outside of the lines. On today's episode of Gig Mindset, I talk with someone who colors outside of the lines, breaks norms, and embraces workplace culture change: Dyan Finkhousen. As a "serial disrupter," Dyan works as the Director of Open Innovation and Advanced Manufacturing at GE. She recognizes that the gig economy will play a big role in the future of work and defining the digital era of operations. She uses tools like crowdsourcing, freelance resourcing, and open innovation. Get ready to learn about how Dyan is changing hearts and minds - project by project.&
