Dr Jason Fox argues that there is never a right time, and we are never ‘not busy’. But an unimportant task done well doesn’t make it important – and to crack the balance between the necessity of systems and innovating for the future, we will need to make time to collaborate, get creative and design work to ensure there is not just an illusion of progress, but meaningful progress.

Dr Jason Fox is a university lecturer, best-selling author, and in-demand keynote speaker. He specialises in topics such as motivation strategy and design and facilitated some important sessions at Elite Retreat 2022.
