I wrote a thesis on Business Creativity in 2015, but its conclusions are just as relevant today.

The thesis examines the paradox of how New Zealanders come up with great ideas but largely fail to commercialise them.

We should be enabling creativity, so that we don’t lose the very thing that makes us unique - Kiwi Ingenuity– especially as we navigate this new world of AI.

It’s only by thinking differently that we can solve our core problems, social and economic.

We can do it by getting to the future first.

I’m driven more than ever now to change the way we think about business in New Zealand.

Reach out to me if you’re looking for business insights or a keynote speaker to get your audience to think differently - solving problems through creativity.

In the meantime, watch this 30-minute video interview some notable New Zealanders, reminding us of the important part creativity plays in solving a problem like NZ.

Special thanks to Phillip Mills, Kevin Roberts, Louise Webster and George Hickton for letting me interview them!
