The day of the recent election, I was with a group of creative Founders - a group that has come out of our Create Growth work. We usually have a check in about business, but this session felt prescient in many ways. We changed tack and explored new policy for a new government to consider. I asked them what they would suggest, and here are some highlights. They asked for a Universal Basic Creative Income. A flat amount to part-fund an individual creative who is trying to work through to a more commercially viable approach to their work. They asked for financial support for creative business development, not just for extra work, new work or innovation but getting better at the business of creative business. They asked for finance to support core business development activity to build business capabilities, creative capabilities already being established. They asked for support in to finance production risk. They asked for 30 days payment being a legal limit, so that they don’t have to cash flow clients projects, or other peoples work. They asked for fair business rates and faster reviews by valuations offices. Policy ideas can come from the people who know the issues, who come at this process generatively and responsibly. They can also put pressure on things to change. Given that Creative Industries are producing increasing GVA, more investment in a sector that produces multiple returns of many forms seems a great place to start. #creategrowth #creativebiz #creativepolicy

Do not shy from the work of uncovering your own ideas and initiative. Your unique perspective can greatly benefit your organization. Have faith in what you create, not just what you imitate. #Oeconomia_Agendis #economyofaction #creativeaddict #realbranding

Especially for consumer businesses, we’re taught that more is better. Shove more images down peoples throat, flood their timelines with content, overwhelm them with information. How about the opposite? What if as a business we could only communicate with our customers via say 12 posts a year? Or even less? Some thoughts on the benefits of constraints when bootstrapping. https://lnkd.in/e89BiDvC
