Innovation X Change

Opening hearts and minds, inspiring impossible to possible!

Innovation X Change moves people and organisations into possibility by changing the way they think. This program is about understanding the concepts and practices of innovative entrepreneurship when creating new products, processes and business models.

Why Innovation X Change Works

This program will help you discover, disrupt, connect, collaborate – and a whole lot more.

If you’re ready to push boundaries, to challenge the status quo, to question the way you face the world, to change the way you think and respond, then you’re ready for Innovation X Change!

Our graduates are solo entrepreneurs, managers in small business, leaders in government institutions, department heads from large manufacturers, managers from financial institutions, app developers, and tech start-ups. The beauty of the mix is the brains trust in the room.

This seven workshop series will:

• Be an adventure
• Provide the opportunity to reflect, question, step out, develop, collaborate and network
• Instil courage and confidence to take extraordinary leaps off the ledge into opportunity
• Explore:
  • Leadership
  • Collaboration
  • Design Thinking
  • Ideation
  • Intellectual Property (IP) and commercialisation
  • Workplace culture

Participants explore and implement practical processes to foster innovation in the workplace.

Discover what is necessary to keep moving forward and remain sustainable in an era of constant change.
