Newcreate can be understood in three ways:

• As a create-the-new philosophy.
• As a create-the-new practice.
• As an ‘enrich the world’ way of living.

Create-the-new is a modifier similar in meaning to innovation but wider in scope. For example, making this website was a create-the-new project, but few would consider it an innovation project.

Newcreate is not a consulting firm, training provider or business of any kind.

When cynicism intrudes, remember this

Newcreate combines mainstream innovation principles and practices with unconventional ideas that some might be inclined to dismiss as spiritual fiction, pseudoscientific fallacy or utopian fantasy.

Valuable insights might be rejected just because they were voiced by Carlos Castaneda (“He made it all up!”), Napoleon Hill (“A conman!”), angels (“They don’t exist!”) or some other controversial source.

If you should find yourself triggered by something you read on this website, remember these words of wisdom from DesignShop co‑originator Matt Taylor:

The only valid test of an idea, concept, or theory is what it enables you to do.
