A BBC social experiment - The @BBC edited Leonardo da Vinci's #CV into an anonymous modern format and submitted it to #HR experts. The result gives us an outlook on our society.
Short story:
Da Vinci was rejected by both the experts for the following reasons: lack of synthesis & lack of specialisation. (Note: the complete story can be found here - Da Vinci's CV rejected by two HR specialists - a BBC social experiment )
Personal take outs:
Business interactions appear to be greater in volume and this obliges everyone to dedicate less time on a single conversation. Thus, everything must be concise.
Large organisations (especially) tend to define a narrow framework of responsibilities for each employee. Too narrow for da Vinci apparently.
The Update
In 2018 a Spanish TV program (This is art) replicated the same BBC social experiment. This time, the HR experts' evaluations were recorded.
