Bio
Having been involved in a lot of well-intentioned innovation and change initiatives in industry, government and small businesses, I have found that people have an astonishing ability to miscommunicate and misunderstand one another, and often work at cross-purposes to the very things they are trying to accomplish.
My objective has been and continues to be finding ways to help people imagine and create a better world, individually and together. I believe that this requires a shift from a fear or scarcity mindset to a curious and creative mindset. Curiosity and creativity improve your ability to develop ideas and build shared understanding, so people become aligned around a vision, so they can better coordinate joint action on things that matter to them.
In 1993 I founded XPLANE, the visual thinking company, to help people develop shared understanding, so they can make better, faster decisions, and work better together to create more lasting, sustainable impact.
I launched my new project, the School of the Possible, which is really just an extension of my lifelong focus on bringing good things into the world, on April 23, 2018.
I have written three books on design, change and innovation.
