Jack Martin Leith | Now-to-New wayfarer

Now-to-New is a term I came up with in the early 1990s to denote a shift from the current situation (Now) to what’s need instead (New).

Read the story of how Now-to-New came into existence

Back then, Now to-New was little more than an umbrella term covering innovation, change and problem solving work.

It evolved into a practical philosophy with associated methods for transcending the mundane, creating the new and generating maximum value for customers or users and other beneficiaries.

Now-to-New principles and practices incorporate insights (example) gained during my extensive inquiry into how the new comes into being and how this changes into that, beyond prevailing theories and methods.

I was able to put my discoveries into action during three decades spent providing consulting services in the areas of breakthrough innovation, system-wide change and multi-stakeholder co-creation, working in the UK and internationally with a large and diverse group of businesses, government bodies and nonprofit organisations.
