Fleming, Tom Dr.
- Dr Tom Fleming is Director of Tom Fleming Creative Consultancy. Tom specialises in research, strategy and policy for the cultural and creative economy at all levels. His focus lies on establishing the climate for creativity, innovation, collaboration, business growth, cultural planning and creative place-making. Clients range across all areas of the public sector, from national government departments through non-departmental public bodies to local authorities.
Key areas of specialism include cultural planning, the wider impacts of culture, creative economy strategy, and competitiveness. He is particularly interested in identifying how culture and creativity provide different opportunities and challenges in different places: the role of place is a critical factor in economic and cultural policy.
Tom has added interest and expertise in issues of diversity and innovation. He is keen to explore how places that are progressively diverse are also highly creative and innovative. This approach stems in part from the location of Tom Fleming Creative Consultancy, in the heart of London's diverse East End, and from Tom's Doctoral research into the transforming cultural landscape of cities. Tom is an established public speaker, with experience on the conference platform and managing seminars and workshops. He has worked across the UK and in over 20 countries.
