The Applied Innovation Centre will hold Making Innovation Happen on Wednesday December 8 at the Curtin Business School on Murray Street in Perth.
The workshop will introduce methodology for creating and implementing innovation that presents tangible and measurable results.
Research findings that identify the factors that drive and hinder corporate innovation, in a range of organisations in WA will be presented over the course of the day.
Research conducted by Harvard Business Review in the US indicated that Australia didn’t rate as one of the top countries in creativity and innovation in the world; this has been linked to a marked absence in tertiary-level courses in applied creativity and innovation, and the perception among Australian business leaders that creativity is the domain of the artist.
In contrast the top-10 universities in the US all include formal courses and studies into creativity and innovation.
The workshop aims to provide attendees with a clear understanding of creativity and innovation in a business or organisational context and to introduce a comprehensive and practical model for building innovative teams and making innovation tangible in their organisation.
Following the workshop attendees will be able to explain the nature of creativity and innovation, integrate strategies and tools within an organisation to implement innovation, identify the factors that are conducive to fostering a culture of innovation, identify the main barriers to innovation at a personal, team and organisational level and how to overcome these, and plan ways to generate new and higher quality ideas and innovative ways to implement them.
Presenters at the seminar will be Applied Innovation Centre managing director Sebastian Salicru and Applied Innovation Centre senior consultant Dr Jim Mullaney.
Registrations for the event can be made with the Applied Innovation Centre for $395.
