Simon is known for inspiring audiences to reimagine what’s possible and leaving people excited for the future. The future that they get to shape - innovating, co-creating and designing solutions together.

​

Drawing on the practical world of creativity and design, Simon’s big point of difference is an active, hands-on approach for everyone present. People learn by doing. This ensures that the audience has those big ‘a-ha’ moments intrinsically. It’s not just a framework shoved at them from the front of the room.

Together, people ‘do’ the practical work of creative problem solving - designing solutions, being highly curious and experimenting quickly. With Simon’s guidance, people get involved in the ‘doing’ of innovation that develops creative confidence, so they can go back into their organisation and empower others on their innovation journey.

Simon describes himself as a recovering professional artist; a creativity, innovation and design specialist. He is also an Author of A Thousand Little Lightbulbs: How to kickstart a culture of Innovation in your Organisation. And Co-host of the Occupational Philosophers Podcast.
