The art is in the engagement! (not the artifact)

‘You’re letting them choose? No no no no. Are you crazy? Seriously Mo – stop making it hard for yourself.’ I was showing some of my creative buddies the individually collaged inside flaps of my Working From Home books, and explaining my grand scheme of laying them all out for the revised revised book release…

The Art of Artistry

The biggest difference between famous artists and “normal” people is artists are driven to do what they do. They have to do it. What they are making is important enough to pursue for it’s own sake, regardless of its financial returns. And surprisingly, it’s often less about innate talent than the compulsion to keep going.…

Creating Magic: Creative process and wicked problems

The creative process is how we humans make magic. It’s the way we make art, how we innovate, how we breed and how we learn, grow and create our lives. It’s how we become. The secret sauce to our inexorable evolutionary ascent. Every business and every product in our environment is the result of a…

Eyes Wide Shut: perception and change

You cannot consciously change what you do not consciously notice. Of course, we unconsciously change things all the time. We fail to notice the bin as we back the car out and change the shape of our bumper bar and the mood of the day. The boss is consistently late or didactic and pretty soon…

Who are you and Why are you here?: The value of identity and purpose in business

Jim Collins’ famous study showed that Visionary Companies, companies that have core values and ideologies that drive their business activities, are 15 TIMES MORE PROFITABLE than the general market, even though they claim that profit was not their primary motive. * 15 TIMES!!  1500%!! For Disney, this means they strive “to make people happy”. At…

Botoxing Brands: the magnetic power of genuineness over perfection

Just when you think you’ve seen everything, you go to a school reunion. At the last one I attended, we all gleefully got to play ‘who on earth is that?’ An awesome testament to the powers of surgical transformation and personal chutzpa, our mystery classmate commanded the spotlight as she did the mwa-mwa tour of…

Bite the Plate: accidents breed innovation

I’m a printmaker (among other things) which means I make intaglio etchings – like this one. There are many of ways of doing this, but all basically involve etching a groove in a ‘plate’ of some sort, then smearing it with ink, rubbing that back so that the ink remains in the grooves, and transferring…

When In Doubt, Differentiate: Replacing judgement to build a wicked mindset

I did higher maths at school and loved it, though it was far from my best subject. Great teacher, models, complexity – you beaut. But the biggest attraction for me was that surprisingly, maths was all about the process rather than the outcome. Getting the ‘right’ answer was never as important as the way we…

Perception Is The Root Of All Error

ANY CHARACTER HERE Well, maybe not all. But about 90% of all mistakes we make apparently come down to errors in perception (how we map the information we take in) rather than faulty thinking. That’s a phenomenal statistic, because it implies that by just changing how we see things we can have a profound effect…

    • Mo Fox helps companies get quick, ingenious breakthroughs using the resources they already have and what makes them unique to get practical results that stick. Or else she teaches them how to do it themselves using hybrid methodologies that fuse art and design with business processes to help people rediscover and leverage their innate creativity. Why? So they become much more effective in the way they think and how they do things. Because that's where their value and competitive edge is. And that’s when they light up and love what they do.
