The Multi-Colored Magpie - Breaking old ground In order to innovate.

My life and my work is based on an evolving ‘manifesto’.

Constant change in the world means that my manifesto can never stay still either. Principles, intentions, ambitions and frontiers quite naturally stretching us all further every day. Perversely innovation and change is often about breaking old ground. Breaking new ground all the time is unthinkable and it just doesn’t work. At the heart of the work It’s about tirelessly dismantling old systems of thinking – terrorizing anything that represents a barricade to new reason or fresh thinking.

A Wall of Newfusion.

To do this I put up a massive wall of white space in order to write the insights, the slogans that themselves have the power to tear down the mental wall of conditioned resistance, frustration and dogma recently shed by their owners.

We all know that to really transform anything we need to remove any reasons for the new ground to get fouled up.  In the biggest sense this is where new eras of design are now required. 21st Century design thinking and implementation. The task is one of subterfuge - subtly educating – constantly redesigning - raising the consciousness and appetite for major disruption. Right now!

How to Balance Automation with Individuality?

I believe strongly that to win in this world we have to be crafty and ingenious. Grabbing precious things from everywhere. Anywhere. We are curious multicolored magpies looking at everything that’s valuable and then make off with it.  The search is most definitely the find. The discoveries I make in simple conversation, trawling the web, creating fresh debates, adding to the chatter – this is where I find the gems - the jewels that just lay around unnoticed in every situation are remarkable. To ignore it with lazy minds is diabolical. Search the web now for the definition of diabolical.

The dangerous innovation actively sought by the commercialized world nowadays is automation. It’s impossible to automate creativity. It’s not possible to replicate the skills of design thinkers without design thinkers. None of this is codifiable by computers. Creativity demands humans to think.  We can all do this. We can all contribute if we open our minds. To get close to that just get better at knowing how to think smartly in every single situation you can. Become a magpie but one that doesn’t think just black and white.

Redefine and redesign – thinking.
