In Detail

Dave’s mind is now focused on the benefits of applied thinking and demystifying creativity.

Dave is on a mission to destroy the mystique around the creative process and unlock as many organisations and people as possible, so that they come up with better, less obvious ideas. He empowers individuals and teams to harness the innate creative abilities that everyone possesses and thus, make them exponentially more valuable and successful.
