There are plenty of actionable items on our Corporate Rebels United (CRU) website. Most folks don’t explore the website. They like the manifesto and that gets them going.
The going so far is mainly sharing of posts, articles and sometimes experiences. And that sharing is great. Continue doing that.
But I would love to see 2015 becoming more actionable and more about DOING.
In these regular callings to our movement, I will invite you to actually DO something and I will seed some ideas that may get you inspired.
This Feb 2015 Calling is for Corporate Rebels out there who are Creatives / Artists / Creators: photographers, graphical artists, visual artists, video hackers, musicians, writers, poets, choreographers, coders, etc who can help us with:
- Creating a new Corporate Rebels United logo that could be used consistently on buttons, flags, t-shirts, social media, etc
- To create a set of consistent visual elements (picture, icons, typography, colours, etc) that we can use on our website and publications.
- To make a powerful teaser video on Corporate Rebels United that could go viral
- To create/compose the Corporate Rebels United song
- To make a RSA animation (or other, use your creativity) video of the Corporate Rebels United presentation at Enterprise 2.0 Summit, 10-12 Feb 2014, Paris. See also our events page.
- Any other crazy idea you may come up with
So roll up your sleeves and enlist as a CRU creative on the candidate form at the bottom of our helpers page.

Very interesting idea.. Maybe this also serves as a catalyst to start conversation among the community.. Looking forward to the conversation..
Peter, I have a question that keeps me unable to contribute. I’d be very interested to hear your thoughts on it, I’m sure it will help me. The question is, how much of the Corporate Rebels driving force is simply about you projecting your existential needs and wants, including parental desires simple onto the corporate you work for. Things like wanting to feel validated, and the injustice of not being the case, and so individually wishing to act for the greater good. What abour instead, Personal Rebel Inside, sitting still and addressing your internal impulses, and perhaps on the outside even just moving on from Swift and going somewhere that loves and nurtures its’ people. What are your thoughts?
Hi Arjun,
Thank you for your comment. This is a very relevant question, and i am struggling with it almost every day. I am very grateful for your feedback. I (think) i have been doing quite some “personal rebel inside” and some of that was at the origin of Corporate Rebels United. I would like to take the conversation off-line, if you don’t mind. Please send me a mail to p (dot) vanderauwera @ gmail (dot) com and we’ll take it from here. Very relevant. Thanks again.
I love this: “why do I want to be remembered for anything at all… so I had a big fire and burnt all of my things”. circa 14:00. This guy has liternally turned what’s possible in business on its head. http://www.ted.com/talks/ricardo_semler_radical_wisdom_for_a_company_a_school_a_life
Thx, Arjun!
