People
Turn on your creative human.
Become an ideas person.
Everyone is creative,
anyone can innovate,
you just need to learn how.
Creativity is modern enterprise advantage. Why then do so many get it so wrong?!
The business of creativity is stuck in dated 20th-century-ideas; the outsourcing of insight kills the courage of conviction, creative confidence dies in stale brainstorms and de-risking processes make ideas worse. The vision that started with innovating better ideas faster often ends with average ideas, slower!
The neuroscience alone proves you can be better.
BIF’s proven innovation shows you can do better, faster.
A Program for People
Packaging 20+ years of people experience
98% of 5-year olds are creative geniuses. That number plummets to just 2% in adults.
NASA – Longitudinal Tracking Study
BIF has codified 20+ years of proven innovation into a unique experience crafted to unleash individual and team genius. Called the BIF People Program, it’s about being creative versus blunt techniques, learning by doing versus ‘classrooms’, towards everyone becoming ‘ideas people’ who reconnect with their innate genius and apply it for new value:
What’s an ideas person? It’s any one armed with the facts about their creativity, who having learned to innovate the solving of one problem, can collaborate the solving of any problem

Taking the Program
Self Study or Client L&D
Creativity is an individual competence — once attained it can be then shared.
Simon Blyth – Professor of Innovation, Bristol University
Self Study
The combination of the printed manual, online learning and direct contact with Matt makes it possible for everyone — whether solo, with a mate, or in a starting-out/starting-up team — to fully engage with BIF People Self Study and get magical results from it.
The learn-and-do nature makes this a true exchange of value — an exponential ROI return-on-investment (the program fee) as both increased personal creativity and the ‘new-value’ outputs worked on during the ‘applied’ behaviours. Take a listen to the intro podcast to know more …
