Our current research topic is called “Digital Happiness” and we’re exploring new ideas about how companies should interact with their clients and employees. This time we want to share the idea and vision from Christiaan Triebert: ‘The Paradox of Truth‘. Triebert shared his vision with us and our clients during our event In Pursuit of Digital Happiness in Brussels on November 9-10 2017. In Triebert’s vision there is a paradox of truth. Digital promised us to give us unlimited knowledge, but it appears the truth is easy to mask. Triebert is part of Bellingcat ‘The home of online investigations’. They use “open source and social media investigation to investigate a variety of subjects, from Mexican drug lords to conflicts being fought across the world.” Watch Christiaan Triebert reveil his methodologies and new take on journalism in a digital age.

About the In Pursuit of Digital Happiness events Two recent deep dives with a group of IT Executives gave us more insights in how our current research topic “Digital Happiness” is going to evolve. We’ll share the videos recorded at these meetings that we’ve organized in the coming months. Both in the US (Chicago) and Europe (Brussels) business executives, media experts and academia shared their views on the massive transformative impact of digital technologies. The fundamentals on which the program In Pursuit of Digital Happiness was based are simple: the technological and financial limitations of digital progress have been dealt with. The real question to answer for businesses to be successful in the society that emerges is, “What do we desire?” Happiness, in the broad definition by the school of positive psychology – from fun and the daily pleasure to getting in a state of flow, and the rewarding feeling of living a meaningful life and doing meaningful things – guided the discussions about the social desirability.
