FWB Facilitators

Tim Hurson
Toronto ON, Canada

Throughout his career, Tim has helped Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 organizations in the US, Canada, and the UK create innovation, marketing, new product, and workplace transformation programs. In the process, he's seen how barriers to creative and productive thinking are also barriers to success — for individuals and for groups.

He speaks regularly about how to use the principles of productive thinking and creative leadership to manage change rather than be swamped by it. He shows how organizations can foster a creative working environment, stable enough to provide cultural continuity and flexible enough to adjust to rapid changes in technologies, markets, and mandates.

Tim is a founding director of Facilitators Without Borders. He is also a founding partner of thinkx, a firm specializing in developing intellectual capital within organizations. He is a faculty member of the Creative Problem Solving Institute, and serves on the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees for the Creative Education Foundation. He is a faculty member of the annual conference of the Creativity European Association and the South African Creativity Conference. He is also co-founder of Mindcamp. Tim's new book Brilliant! an innovator's guide to productive thinking (McGraw Hill, NY) is set for release September 2007.
