The Art of Making A Difference
Go M.A.D. Thinking was founded in 1997 by Andy Gilbert who cares passionately about helping others to Go Make A Difference.
Andy developed the Go M.A.D.® Thinking System, has written over 20 books, presented over 200 audio/video programmes, and is an international consultant and conference speaker who believes that people can improve their world through better thinking.
He is responsible for creating millions of Light Bulb Moments through his work and continues to research how people think, writes practical development books, designs transformational change and improvement programmes and provides high-performance executive coaching. Alongside this Andy heads up a visionary management team which leads the Go M.A.D. team of consultants (we call them Thinking Engineers) and our Head Office central support services.
Andy’s The Art of Making A Difference TEDx talk below shares his story and gives an introduction to the 7 key principles of the Go M.A.D.® Results Framework.
The Go M.A.D.® Thinking System
The Go M.A.D.® Thinking System is based on over 4,000 hours of research undertaken by our founder, Andy Gilbert and a team of researchers.
Through interviews and desk research, Andy sought to discover and explain in the simplest possible way, the key success principles that people naturally apply when Making a Difference.
This led to the development of the 7 key principles within the widely acclaimed Go M.A.D.® Results Framework and the wide library of intellectual property that we have developed over the past 25 years and is now used with our clients.
“The need has never been greater for our clients to improve their world by thinking differently and re-thinking their business models. During the pandemic, we developed new, efficient, more productive ways of working digitally. This means we can more easily help our clients to achieve greater results, with an added competitive advantage over other consultants. We can also help partners build a highly successful and profitable consulting business. As we move into the next chapter of our story, we look forward to welcoming licensed franchisees as part of the wider Go M.A.D. Thinking team.”
— Andy Gilbert, Go M.A.D. Thinking Founder & Managing Director
Improving your world through better thinking
This is our purpose - our reason for being. Through better, more solution focused thinking we believe people across the globe can improve their world and Go Make A Difference at work, at home and in their community.
It’s easy for people to say they are passionate, but in 1998 we were the very first business to develop a company passion statement:
Being the brightness is one step beyond seeing the light. To be passionate about opening minds, encouraging development, gaining insight, exploring parameters, igniting desires, harnessing energy, inspiring people, moving forward, increasing skills, sowing thoughts, achieving goals, reviewing effectiveness, releasing potential, facing fears, generating happiness, taking responsibility, enjoying learning, overcoming obstacles, building teams, facilitating success, having fun, getting started, believing in choices, being the brightness and making a difference. The answers are on the inside.
Our 2028 vision is to make the world a better place by being the catalyst for at least 1000 humanitarian projects. To achieve this we proactively seek to work with visionary partners to help 100 million people have a Light Bulb Moment and improve their world through better thinking.
The Go M.A.D. Thinking team are guided by our passion statement, our purpose and our vision to give people the skills they need to solve problems and achieve their goals. We inspire Light Bulb Moments (a ‘breakthrough in thinking’) through the products and services we deliver.
We have also joined forces with the B1G1 Business for Good Movement to embed giving which supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
