01: Be a newcreator

The newcreator

• The newcreator is fully present and alive.

• The newcreator is dedicated to enriching a particular piece of the world in a particular way. This is his or her personal purpose.

• The newcreator has unwavering personal agency and is action focused, seizing the initiative, doing what needs to be done and taking responsibility for whatever may result.

• The newcreator has no self pity, no self importance, no self absorption.

• The newcreator uses both brain hemispheres equally and deploys seven powers, each associated with a specific part of the body, in order to transcend the mundane, imagine what could be, bring it into being and generate significant benefit for others.

The life of the newcreator is wholeheartedly devoted to transcending the mundane, imagining possibilities, creating the new and realising its value generation potential.

Value generation potential is the value (benefit, impact) a value generator (product, service, facility, event, establishment, artistic work etc.) could be generating when conditions are favourable.

Value generation potential is the what — the possible future yield.

Value generation capability, in constrast, is the how — people, equipment, money and other means.

Transcend the mundane

Transcending the mundane means breaking free from the confines of mundane world and activating the four creative powers: Imagination (pure imagining, not synthetic imagination), Conceptualisation, Materialisation and Realisation (of potential).

The world

You can interpret “the world” as you wish, providing it extends beyond your immediate family.

Consider:

• Your neighbourhood.
• The groups, clubs and associations you belong to.
• Your village, town or city.
• Your workplace.
• Your country.
• The world at large.

Jack Martin Leith

Over the course of more than three decades I have provided professional services in the areas of breakthrough innovation, system-wide change and multi-stakeholder co-creation, working in the UK and internationally with global corporates, government bodies and other public sector organisations, social enterprises, arts organisations and charities, as well as the NHS.

In my 20s I embarked on a quest to discover how the new comes into being, and how this changes into that, beyond prevailing models and methods.

This website is a showcase for my most significant discoveries.

The quest continues.
