Ben is from Sydney, Australia, and is renowned for his strategic facilitation, business illustration, and graphic recording. As a designer for over 25 years, he learned the importance of harnessing creativity, experimentation and learning, and whip-smart communication, to create products and services that are more usable, useful and enjoyable.
This background has made him an in-demand facilitator for over 15 years. As an independent consultant at Bright Pilots, he enjoys helping teams of all kinds find and solve problems better, think and communicate together better, and ship faster. Ben has been invested in better ways of working since 2010, and was one of the original creators of the much-loved Atlassian Team Playbook.
