Fahri’s Doodles -Part 2: World Watch

This post is about my journey to create a doodle magazine. It continues from my last post, which you can find here.

To prepare for my new semester teaching at Norwich Business School at University of East Anglia (Employability, Creativity, and Personal Development), I am creating a doodle magazine for my students taking the course.

As you remember, I started creating the first section titled “World Watch”.

In this section, I look at the rapidly changing world — the rise of China and the East, the New Silk Roads project, the start of the Artificial Intelligence Revolution, the nature of disruption and disruptive innovation, the fear of not keeping up (FONKU), the looming trade wars between the U.S. and China, and the risk of a global economic crisis.

Our guide in this section is Jumbo.

You will find the next page of this section below.

The implications on of these trends on the job market are discussed, along with suggestions for young people and professionals to survive and thrive in this perfect storm.

Below is the fourth and last page of World Watch:

That is where I am currently.

It has been a fun experience creating this ‘World Watch’ section.

Unfortunately, I have to stop now, as I have grading and office tasks looming over me.

Still, I feel good about the process of creation. It gives me a sense of progress and calm.

I wish I could create and doodle much more in my life.

It is almost as if I am transcending my cubicle and flying above the sky.

The sky is my playroom.

The wind is the momentum.

What is next? Where will I fly next?

Next, I will focus on creating a new section called ‘Self-Making’.

This section will include a set of reflective and creative exercises aimed at developing ‘exponential’ skills required in this new era.

I will continue creating this section tomorrow — watch this space!

We will see how this goes — it feels exciting.

What do you wish to create next?

What are you excited about?

Can you go and play and create it —make it quick and dirty?
