Why is creating things so difficult? The Biscuit Tin & the Biscuit.

Following his recent 7 night residency at the Brighton Fringe, Mark Stringer is presenting for us an online version of his talk, "The Biscuit Tin & the Biscuit". After the talk we will have an open discussion to pose our questions to Mark and to contribute our thoughts on the topics raised.

Mark Stringer has been a project manager for 15 years, but he's also a stand-up comedian and has a degree in philosophy. In this one-man show, he investigates an obvious but often forgotten point about project management, creativity, and doing—well, anything really. Ideas and things are made of different stuff. Descriptions of a biscuit on the tin and the actual biscuits aren’t the same. Mark uses this single observation to explain why so many projects don’t go as expected and why so many of us give up on our dreams, ambitions, and heroic quests. He ends his show with some powerful suggestions about how we can renew our quests, push through, and get done what we need to do—even when we don’t really feel like it.
