The Case for More Bad Ideas

The counterintuitive guide to creativity

Why traditional brainstorming fails, and how deliberately chasing bad ideas produces the good ones. Built on the research and frameworks behind the book, with examples from companies your audience already knows.

Your audience leaves with

  • Why the first ten ideas in any room are the wrong ten
  • A repeatable way to get past the obvious answer
  • How to make it safe to say the absurd thing out loud

The Art vs AI Advantage

The hidden value of human ingenuity in an AI world

Human creativity is worth more, not less, as automation gets cheaper. Where the remaining advantage actually sits, and how to build a team that presses it instead of competing with the machines on speed.

Your audience leaves with

  • Which creative work AI genuinely commoditizes, and which it cannot
  • Where taste and judgment still decide the outcome
  • How to brief and edit AI without flattening the work

Rethink Brainstorming

The only creative process most of us know is broken

Most teams have exactly one creative process and it was designed in 1953. A practical teardown and rebuild, with frameworks the audience can run the next morning.

Your audience leaves with

  • The structural reasons group brainstorms underperform
  • A format that separates generating from judging
  • How to run a session that survives the loudest person in it
