See the full article at https://www.ideatovalue.com/podc/nickskillicorn/2019/03/podcast-s2e32-bryan-hoedemaeckers-what-is-a-dreamatorium/  Rather than being a place of fantasy, the Dreamatorium is a place to connect, tinker, and dream big, with innovation as a consequence. We discuss the reason so many innovation labs fail in companies, and how your company could set up its own Dreamatorium using the innovative skills already within your staff. Topics discussed in this episode: 00:01:45 - The history of getting people to connect with new technologies like (3D Printers) at the Dreamatorium 00:03:30 - The problem with innovation labs where the only people who are allowed to touch the machines are the cleaners 00:04:45 - The only investment required to run a Dreamatorium session is for beer and wine.
