Abstract: Abstract Tom Cummings and I were busy preparing a workshop on the management of strategic alliances for a group of executives in Geneva. We took a break during our long afternoon spent designing the program architecture and contacting industry speakers. I put a book, which I had recently discovered, on the table: The Catalogue of Impossible Objects designed by artist Jacques Carelman1 and first published in Paris in 1969. The book was a collection of hilarious drawings of objects that made no sense and that Carelman’s amazing creativity had nevertheless invented to cheer up tired people like us.
