I strongly believe in the new paradigm of management and organization of labour (able to overcome F.Taylor's "Scientific Management") very brilliantly depicted in the last 40 years, among others, by Peter Senge ("The Fifth Discipline"), Arie De Geus ("The Living Company"), Charles Handy ("The Age of Unreason", "The Elephant and the Flea"), and above all, by economist Fritz Schumacher ("Small is beautiful: a study of economics as if people mattered", 1973) renowned as one among the 100 most influential books published since World War II.

One of the best disciples of them all, perhaps, is an architect and urbanist, Nabeel Hamdi, that in 2004 wrote his masterpiece: "Small change", about "Design, Emergence and Somewhere In-between", that is my Credo, also. The summary of his code of conduct as a conclusion of a professional lifetime's experience follows: Ignorance is liberating Start where you can: never say can't     Imagine first: reason later Be reflective: waste time Embrace serendipity: get muddled Play games, serious games Challenge consensus Look for multipliers Work backwards, move forwards Feel good

And finally, let me remember the one I consider the greatest 'new liberal art' of XXIc professional of our contemporary era, with his own beautiful and inspiring words, which deserve all our praise...:"No big deal. Just three stories"
