Many of you might think that I have a typo in my title. I do not. On my recent trip to Singapore where I delivered a three day seminar for Asia Bankers on Derivatives, I had the opportunity to drop into the ArtScience Museum at the Marina Bay Sands Singapore. http://www.marinabaysands.com/singapore-museum/
The main reason I went to the Museum was to see the Andy Warhol exhibit, which was fantastic, with one of the best museum commentaries I have listened to in quite a while. The building in which the ArtScience Museum is housed is really fantastic – a striking piece of architecture, and if you take the time to examine it from the inside you discover it is an even more fascinating structure.
However what caught my attention and got me thinking was the name of the institute – which is more fully explained if you visit the third floor. The ArtScience in the name of the museum is intentional. In a plaque leading up to the third floor exhibits on creativity you read “ArtScience: A Journey Through Creativity opens a dialog about art, science and the symbiotic relationship between them”
As risk managers, we also need to open up a dialogue between the art and science of our field, and recognize the symbiotic relationship between them.
