The Future of Work for Polymaths
Interview with Florian Stummer
In this interview, we're covering how polymaths can thrive in the workplace. By better understanding themselves and with organisations putting them in situations where they can produce their best work, polymaths value to teams can be invaluable.
More about Florian:
Florian Stummer was born in 1977 in Austria. After his A levels and military service, he started his training as science journalist and medical writer. His career path meandered between working and learning many different fields of research. He worked as crisis line counsellor, studied medicine, became CEO of a science/literary-magazine, wrote novels, got back to medicine as an assistant on an orthopaedic station, gained an Master of Public Health at Roehampton University in London, moved on to Cambridge for a MBA in Healthcare Marketing while publishing the first “Clockpunk”-Anthology in German, a literary sub-genre of science fiction.
He climbed the corporate ladder in a hospital to the position of the assistant of the medical director and started a double doctorate in e-Health at the Usher Institute of the University of Edinburgh and Doctorate in Business Administration in Human Resource at Apsley Business School, London, both to be finished in summer 2022/spring 2023. The latter thesis focuses on Polymathy in corporate settings. He still writes short stories, composes waltzes and loves charcoal drawings … and still has no clue which of these fields are his purpose, but definitely knows that all of them are his destiny.
