Provocation
John has developed a reputation for being a highly effective provocateur – with a track record of bringing fresh thinking to new sectors and issues. By combining an ability to generate new ideas, exemplary communication skills, and the self confidence to challenge entrenched status quo positions and the senior decision makers who often hold them – John has proved adept at influencing change in both public debate and within organisations.
Examples:
- John has produced a number of notable and influential provocations on the arts, including ‘The Art of Dying’, ‘The Art of Living’, and ‘Whose Art Is it Anyway’
- John has recently written a provocation on the future of work for Demos, sponsored by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.
- John is currently working with Matthew Taylor of the RSA on a new piece about arts funding, austerity and the Big Society.
