The Reinventor’s Mindset is a map to create and reinvent from exactly where you are.
It supports both creating – building something new inside established systems, and reinvention – transforming yourself and renewing what’s grown stale.
Transformation is not something new. It’s reclaiming something true.

The Reinventor's Mindset™ Index
Most diagnostics tell you where you are, the Index helps you move forward. Mindset is measurable, transformation is learnable.
Grounded in psychometric research conducted with 300+ participants over two decades at Swinburne University of Technology. Developed and taught by Ashton Jones at the University of Sydney Business School and INSEAD LaunchPad, drawing on 20 years of practitioner experience with senior leaders, founders, and innovators.
Whether you're starting your journey as an innovator, stepping into a new role as a leader, or facing a career moment where you need to reinvent yourself - the RMI is designed to meet you where you are.
By request, you get exclusive access to:
A conversational diagnostic
16 statements, five minutes. Not a quiz, a structured conversation that maps how you actually think, lead, and move.
A visual radar
map
Your results plotted across eight poles, showing your natural orientation and breadth at a glance.
A scored
index
Measuring both polarity (which pole you lean toward) and range (how far you stretch across each dimension). This is your RMI.
A coaching
tool
The RMI listens before it diagnoses, remembers across sessions, and holds its ground when you push back. Every session ends with one practical action.
Come back, retake the diagnostic, and watch the radar move. That's not a feature, it's the proof that transformation is happening.
Ashton Jones
Transformation is a learnable skill, not a personality trait. I build new things inside systems designed to stay the same – and I teach others to do the same.
