What sparks innovation in organisations? Who sparks the idea? And where does innovation occur within an organisation?
The disruptive impact is rarely known by organisations at the outset of the innovation journey, but there are signals within organisations that indicate where, when, why and how innovation is occurring.
Leaders can better understand their organisation’s approach to innovation if they can better understand the radius of where to search.
Join two global innovation and entrepreneurship experts, Fiona Murray from MIT and Robert Perrons from QUT, as they draw on their international experiences and deep expertise to unpack the system of innovation.
