Why We’re Wired to Imagine: Evolution, Survival, and the Future of Creativity
Creativity has shaped our survival—from the time early humans gathered around fires to share stories of the hunt and preserving them with prehistoric cave paintings that offer vivid and mysterious windows into the earliest days of humanity.

Flex Your Brain: Training Creativity Like a Muscle
It turns out, creativity behaves a lot like a muscle. Use it, and it grows. Ignore it, and it gets a little flabby. But the beautiful part? Even 15 minutes a day can rewire how you think, how you problem-solve, and how you see the world around you.

The Creativity Spark: Why We Need to Dream Bigger
If you think about it, creativity is why we’re here at all. Long before we built cities or wrote symphonies, we were imagining things that didn’t yet exist—tools, stories, futures—and turning them into reality.

From Input to Impact: A Systems View of Human Potential
Input → Process → Output is a deceptively powerful model. It is a simple but effective way of depicting the chain of causality that describes, I think, all phenomena. Continuous improvement specialists rely on this model... our starting point for assessing the current state and informing the development of a future state, whether product or service.
