Thought Cast: Things to get you thinking more creatively.
Hosted by Nigel Collin and Richard Foulkes · EN
Strap yourself in and try not to laugh along with these two (self-proclaimed) geniuses as they explore all things linked to optimizing adaptability and creative thinking in business.
Their quirky, fun and sometimes daft conversations provide deep insight which will help you and your people think more creatively, enabling you to adapt and meet the demands of an ever-changing world. Why? Because one of the major trends for business professionals over the next 20 years is the need to think more creatively.
In a world of constant disruption, change and ever-increasing automation, it’s people’s ability to think uniquely, purposefully and creatively that will separate the successful businesses of the future.
Richard Foulkes is from England and Nigel Collin is from Australia and they have over 60 years combined experience in creative industries. They both think they’re funny, but they’re not.
They are co-authors of The Business Switch Book (something they each believe leaders worldwide should have a copy on their bookshelves).
