Town Talk: A conversation with Andy Hickman, Art of Workflow

Published

on

In this Town Talk, our publisher Mike McCool speaks with Andy Hickman from Art of Workflow.

Andy said, “We live in a time of high volume, high speed, and low clarity. Apps, planners, and other tools are insufficient. We feel a desperate need for a holistic and sustainable behavioral framework that enables order, ease, and creativity in both our personal and professional work.”

There is an actual art to this. A unique blend of ancient psychology and modern project management, it consists of four specific behaviors that, when habituated, reduce stress, create clarity, and stimulate creativity.

Andy went on, “It is simple but subtle. It is refined, but flexible. It allows you to get a sense of control in your life without losing spontaneity. It enables you to effectively engage with asymmetry, curved lines, and surprises as well as more “linear” projects and tasks. It helps you plan a fun birthday party for your kid as well as an impactful strategic planning session for your company.”

It’s a fun conversation – watch and you just might learn something new and interesting.
