How will we build Australian innovation success? Tania de Jong AM, Founder Creative Universe, Creative Innovation Global and Creativity Australia

Jessamy — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 06:09:54 +0000

At Creative Universe we are assisting Australian organisations to unlock a culture of creative leadership and innovation.

9 principles for innovation success are:

Strong research universities with endowments
Globally experienced repeat entrepreneurs
Sophisticated risk capital
Building social capital (links between innovation executives across sectors)
Knowledge sharing across siloes
Risk tolerance (We tend to have an enormous fear of failure in Australia.)
Creative destruction of obsolete or unsuccessful ventures to build new ones
Learning from constructive failures
Positive returns for entrepreneurs and supportive government policies

Join us at Creative Innovation 2012 – Asia Pacific to connect with leaders and emerging leaders across sectors. Ci2012 will take place 28-30 November 2012 at Sofitel Melbourne On Collins, Melbourne, Australia. Save the date NOW!

WICKED PROBLEMS, GREAT OPPORTUNITIES! Leadership and Courage in Volatile Times

2012 began precariously. The global economy swings between signs of recovery and predictions of imminent collapse. Businesses appear paralysed. Though many are cash-rich, they’re risk-averse, strategically incremental and lacking in fresh ideas and innovation. The world needs leadership, invention and daring now more than ever. We need audacity not austerity. We need to attack big, wicked, problems that improve the economy and society as a whole. Bold ideas that represent real business opportunities, that spark a revolution for courage and change.

Building on Ci2010 and Ci2011, over 40 innovators, thinkers and business leaders will present valuable strategies, stories and insights to create an interactive event of a lifetime.

1. Think about what you love to do and your current strengths, skills and experience. List them down.

2. Get creative. Look forward to consider things you’d like to do.

3. Learn, never give up. See the gap and what you need to reach your goal… More training, guidance, mentoring, money, contacts etc.

4. Take the holistic approach. Look at your whole life, not just career but hobbies, interests, things you love, aspirations etc.

5. Consider all options at a body, mind and spirit level = Optioneering

6. Create your own white board of life and assess these options

7. QUESTION: What do you need to do to get from here to there?

8. See the end result of your vision in action (not the obstacles to get there)

9. Reverse engineer the steps to reach your goal

10. Develop a diverse support group… Friends, family, mentor, colleagues…ask them for their support.

11. Take massive action. Profound, powerful, absorbing, passionate action. Don’t give up!

12. Make a difference to others along the way
