Tues 14 Feb is our first Snapshot for the year. There are still places available and we have more cool things to share.
Steve Collis, Director of Innovation at the Sydney Centre for Innovation in Learning, is pleased to offer a 15 session video-conference series exploring strategies for growing your capacity to innovate.
In groups of up to 10 participants, Steve will guide you through a diverse and cross-disciplinary series of toolkits to nurture your capacity for innovation and action. Whether you’re in business, education, or looking after the family, Innovate Five will set you up with a game-plan for growth for years to come.

Identifying Common Denominators of Successful Innovation
WISE 2011 Session: Charles Leadbeater, Stephen Harris, Jørn West Larsen, Prof. Rajani Paranjpe
While each innovative learning program is, by definition, new and unique, different programs are likely to share some characteristics. What lessons might policy makers and practitioners draw from the experiences of these highly innovative schools and universities?
