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.




ThinkOn® is an alternative trademark we use with some of our partners, including the NHS and some public and private sector clients when our usual name isn’t able to be used.

Rest assured it promises exactly the same high-quality thinking and results.
