CREATE

The Future

See Things Differently. Unlock new possibilities.

Our world is changing rapidly and profoundly. We must change too. 

Individually and collectively, this means using our brains in new and creative ways.

We turn cutting-edge insights from cognitive neuroscience into simple, practical and powerful tools and techniques to help transform the way you think.

Brain Innovation. Innovation in a Box. The Brain Innovation project.

Core Focus Areas

We offer custom, in-house training, courses, coaching, and consulting designed for progressive companies, civil society organizations, international bodies and the public sector.

We do not seek to introduce a new innovation process or framework. Rather, we support your existing approaches by exploring and exploiting the underlying brain mechanisms and processes which underpin our cognition, discovery and decision making.   

Our approach is flexible and modular, so our tools and techniques can be adapted to suit nearly any topic or theme. We use the same brain and same underlying processes whether we are seeking to reduce stress, develop an anti-corruption campaign or decode complex biological networks.

While most of our work falls under a few broad categories (see below), we’re always open to exploring new challenges.

building our common future

Our biological brains are responsible for everything we think, feel, perceive, say, create, do, imagine, invent or believe. Individually and collectively, our brains are the seat of our hopes and aspirations. How we use them is both the source of most of our problems as well as the potential solutions. They are the ultimate drivers of either stagnation or innovation at every level. 

But our brains are locked away inside a black box (our skulls), reliant upon sensory data (sight, smell, sound, etc.) to gather information about the world around us. From this, they elicit and generate patterns, narratives, scenarios and predictions to infer how the world works and our place within it.

This astonishingly complex process occurs automatically under the surface most of the time, unnoticed, unchallenged and unhindered. But through understanding the underlying mechanisms at play, we are able to ‘hack into’ their functioning. This provides us with the opportunity to generate the novel connections, solutions and self-directed change that are the heart of personal, professional, organisational, technological and societal innovation and creativity.

This goes far beyond merely learning a new ‘skill’. When you change the way you understand and use your brain, you change everything.

Ultimately, how we choose to harness the power of our brains—both individually and collectively — will play the central role in shaping our future. And when we take a look around, it’s clear that humanity needs some new ideas right now!

WHAT OTHERS SAY

The words we most often hear are ‘surprising’ and ‘practical’. Here are just a few pieces of other feedback we have got.

Brain Tools and techniques

While our brains are astonishingly complex, our tools and techniques are simple. They allow you to change the way you think by activating different neural circuitry and modes, tapping into and reconfiguring resources that were always there.

No ‘gadgets, apps, substances, super-natural powers or magical thinking’ are required; just a curiosity to explore how your natural, biological brain works. Nothing could be more important right now as we seek to understand the profound implications of Artificial Intelligence which are coming our way.

It’s not that one mode of thinking is superior to another. Rather, it is about having the agility to be able to switch between different approaches according to the task at hand.

After all, if you only have a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail. In a rapidly changing world, wouldn’t you rather have the versatility of a Swiss army knife?

For those who are interested, here are links to just a few books about the brain, perception, cognition and action. Most are fairly easily accessible and generally non-technical/ academic.
