Marcus Crow - 10000 Hours

It all started giving the team’s vote of thanks for the 13C’s cricket coach on Knox’s gillespie playing fields in March of 1985. Since then when an opportunity to talk presented itself, Marcus got handed the microphone. His two big sisters asked in him to shut up or find a job doing it, and in 1997 he began as a rookie with Rogensi in their Sydney office. In 1999, he co-founded Oxygen Learning, and he and his two co-founders took it from a hunch and a handshake to a thriving business with a 18 people across three offices delivering over 1,000 days of facilitation and workshop training a year. In 2005, Oxygen Learning was purchased by John Singleton’s STW Group in a six year earn-out which concluded in 2011.

Now in start-up once more, Marcus is the co-founder of 10,000 Hours. This business exists to help adults learn. It does that by offering Daring Ideas in Safe Pair of Hands. The daring ideas are the content of the keynotes, facilitations and workshops, and the safe pair of hands are the small and growing team of professionals who have all done their own 10,000 hours of deliberate practice and are seasoned operators in their field.

At SHIFT2014 Marcus will talk about a simple and reliable method of innovation that businesses large and small can comprehend quickly and use immediately.
