A Program for People
Packaging 20+ years of people experience
I’ve codified 20+ years of proven innovation into a unique behavioural experience to unleash the power of individual creativity and team collaboration.
I’ve called it the BIF People Program — because it’s people who identify problems & opportunities, who gain insight, who spark genius ideas and who test & develop them to market.

Self Study
The combination of the printed manual, online elearning and collaboration platform makes it possible for anyone 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 (the program fee) as both increased personal creativity and the new-value outputs worked on during the applied project work.
