A Juggler's manifesto: elevating creativity to stay productive amid uncertainty

Abstract: PurposeThe Industry 4.0 environment is characterized by fast data, vertically and horizontally interconnected systems, and human–machine interfaces. In the middle stands the manager, whose sustained performance is critical to the organization's success.
