Celebrated author, adventurer, gold medal Olympian and popular TV chef; Jason is none of these things. He is, however, one of the most sought-after creative minds in the country.

As founder of Minds at Work, he’s helped people ‘think again’ since the end of the last century, working with clients across Australia in virtually every industry and government sector on issues ranging from creativity and trouble shooting to culture change and leadership.

World's Next Practice

Now that the rate of change seems permanently locked on fast forward, the success of any business or industry depends on how fast they can jettison old ideas and assumptions and see the possibilities of whatever’s next.

Of course, that’s always been true up to a point; our entrepreneurs and innovators have always been first to see what’s coming, which is why they’re so good at disrupting those industries that can't. But now that’s a skill set all of us - employer and employee alike - will need to develop… and quickly.

Because the First Law of Business is Find the Better Way… before someone else does.

[And in case you were wondering, AI won’t be much help with that; innovation requires Human Intelligence AKA The Genuine Article.]

We all need to shift our focus from World’s Best Practice to World’s NEXT Practice. And that means rethinking our current ideas about talent, skill, potential and experience; organisations are great at attracting amazing people but terrible at inspiring, nurturing then harnessing their super powers.
