The team behind the Future of Doing

There have been many contributors to the Future of Doing since its inception in 2019, moving from courses, to books to consultancy

2020 course

  • Tracy Brown

    Tracy is the originator of the Future of Doing. She has been a designer, creative director, strategist and (briefly) a front-end developer. She has worked in Cape Town, London and now Melbourne, leading teams in Africa, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Her combined knowledge of creative makers and experience strategy led her to ask the question ‘how can we help leaders do a better job for their creative-making teams by delivering better workplace experiences?’

    This question inspired her to design and run the global Future of Doing study with Barry Mowszowski, which became a podcast and open online course hosted by The Berlin School of Creative Leadership.

    Tracy teaches and facilitates the course and consults with organisations about how to make big changes for their people.

  • Barry Mowszowski

    Barry is a highly experienced strategy consultant based in Sydney. He lived in New York and San Francisco for many years before turning homeward. From his base he facilitates workshops across Asia, New Zealand and Australia.

    Barry is one of the originators of the Future of Doing. Having managed many creative making teams, he also noticed a gap between what practitioners need and their actual employee experience. As an MBA graduate and course facilitator of the Berlin School, he saw the opportunity to partner with them for the first course and co-facilitated the sessions.

    Barry’s MBA thesis focused on purpose. In addition to facilitating some of the sessions, he also consults with clients on their reason for being and how it can uplift their people.

Books and 2021 course

Tracy Brown went on to develop a second course and wrote two books about the insights gleaned from the studies. She continues to consult with organisations about how to better enable their teams.

The Berlin School of Creative Leadership

The first Future of Doing course was hosted by The Berlin School of Creative Leadership in 2020. The Berlin School is a business school for leaders - and aspiring leaders - of innovation and creativity. The study insights were shared on their ‘Meet the experts’ podcast in 2019 before the open online program was launched in August 2020. It ran for 4 weeks with 40 participants. Every Friday, participants from around the world got together for 3 hours to discuss the content and generate ideas together. Attendance never dropped and it was just what the creative-making community needed in a very isolating time.
