Innovation Tools Update
Dear friends, innovators and collaborators
I've been really busy working on an ambitious new project called wecreate™ – and the time is finally right to share it with you.
The vision is simple – to share the very best creativity, leadership and innovation tools in ways that allow everyone to harness them, not just the lucky few. We believe that when we all get to develop our capacity to connect, create and collaborate, our organisations and societies thrive.
At the heart of this project is a radically innovative peer-to-peer creative leadership toolkit that provides high-quality coaching without the usual costs.
The toolkit is complimented by a suite of open training sessions (training on disruptive and collaborative innovation in July - book now for very limited early bird specials) and open innovation and entrepreneurial 'boot camps' to kick-start seriously inventive and collaborative thinking in organisations and teams.
Our work with organisations allows us to help disadvantaged young people to foster innovation mindsets and leadership behaviours themselves - which we believe is the key to the creation of a future worthy of humanity. See our social mission for more.
Every month or so (and no more) we will keep you in the loop with insights and scientific research from the cutting-edge of the collaboration economy. If these nuggets aren't for you, simply unsubscribe at the bottom. Please do get in touch if any of this resonates and you want to explore what is possible through collaborating with us.

We are a socially-oriented mission-driven business committed to mass collaboration.
wonderinc (the company behind wecreate™) have been pioneering leadership, collaboration and innovation toolkits, training and coaching which put into practice the emerging principles and ethos of the collaboration economy for 5 years. We have received considerable funding from the European Social Fund, NESTA, BBC Learning and the Arts Council to develop breakthrough leadership, social innovation and change programmes.
After many years of as innovation experts working on major projects for the world’s leading organisations we began being asked to develop in-house programmes, expertise and toolkits that built helped companies and organisations do innovation themselves. We designed training and employee-led innovation programmes for Unilever R&D, Tesco’s entire 250,000 staff and the innovation team for Cadburys.
Through developing these programmes we realised that if put enough energy and effort into codifying the mindsets, techniques and skills of creativity, leadership and innovation - and if we then put those tools into experiences that were engaging and easy-to-use - then we could open up state-of-the-art business and social practices to everyone. This was the birth of the wecreate™ toolkit.
