Technology is transforming the world. We're undergoing a dramatic and broad shift in which machines are taking over the economy. This shift is not only disrupting nearly every industry and transforming the workforce, the rate of change is severely impacting our ability to cope, and consequently, to compete and innovate. Two recent studies collaborated that, across professions, an astounding 50% of employees are burned out due to work. Longer hours, higher demands, reduced stability - all of it is causing a burnout epidemic that is diametrically opposed to the creativity required to lead in today's environment.

Machines and A.I. may be taking over but the one human endowment they can't replace is our ability to create. Continuously reimagining what we do, how we work and how we serve the market in an ever-evolving world is the most important competitive advantage and the key to creating value regardless of industry. But big ideas rarely spring at the office, and less so, in a state of stress or burnout. That's why stepping away from your daily routine to spend time in a natural paradise with interesting people to think about the big picture, debate ideas and have a great time is a powerful way to spark innovation and growth.
