    Pretpostavimo da je kreativnost rezultat unutarnjeg dijaloga kreativnog pojedinca (autora) iz kojega nastaje nova informacija. No kako onda razumjeti kreativnost danas, kada je naša individualna svijest proširena elektronskim medijima i telemetrijski uključena u “globalni mozak”? Sveprisutnost informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije omogućuje nam da stvaramo nove informacije brže negoli ikad prije i pohranjujemo ih u forme umjetne memorije, u koje može svatko ući. S obzirom na to čini se da je pojam autorstva prevladan, a unutarnji dijalog zamijenjen intersubjektivnim dijalogom. Držeći se teorije medija Viléma Flussera i Marshalla McLuhana, problematiziram novu paradigmu kreativnosti kakva se razvija u dobu informacijske tehnologije.If we assume that creativity is a result of the inner dialogue of creative individual (author), during which he creates an improbable combination of elements (i.e. new information), how can we comprehend creativity today, after we technologically extended our individual consciousness and connected it into a “global brain” via telematics? Prevalence of information and communications technology enables us to create more new information than ever, and allows us to store it in artificial memory, where it could be reused by almost anyone. In the age of ICT, author seems to be superfluous and the inner dialogue has been replaced by interpersonal dialogue. Taken into consideration Vilém Flusser’s and Marshall McLuhan’s theory of media, I will try to problematize new paradigm of creativity, as it is disclosing in information society

    Artykuł dotyczy programu kształcenia na kierunku bankowość i finanse cyfrowe, funkcjonującego na Wydziale Ekonomiczno-Socjologicznym Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego. Program ten jest przykładem kooperacji uczelni wyższej z partnerami biznesowymi (mBankiem i Accenture). Przedstawiono podejście przyjęte podczas opracowywania założeń programu: analizę zawodów przyszłości w sektorze bankowym, oczekiwań pracodawców i studentów, standardów oraz dobrych praktyk z wiodących uczelni. W przyszłości będzie duży popyt na „cyfrowych bankowców” – pracowników dysponujących kwalifikacjami zarówno z obszaru finansów, jak i IT, zatem można oczekiwać, że absolwenci z łatwością znajdą zatrudnienie w zawodzie
