These are the slides from my talk at Google Firestarters on 5th September 2017 in London. It's about two tools in particular we use at Smithery (www.smithery.com) to break the patterns that we find can emerge and strangle how people approach their work. The content is a compressed version of some of the material from the Innovation & Future Thinking course I led at IED in Barcelona this summer.
