Description

This bespoke Lab invites the participants to conduct ‘field research’ to investigate the

current practices and paradigms in their own organisation. Participants then explore

future needs and desired states to identify gaps and opportunities in the space

between the current paradigm and the desired future states

Teaching and learning strategies

This bespoke Lab offers an opportunity for participants to apply their learning within

the program to develop a strategic and bold future-oriented direction for

organisational transformation, tailored to the context of participants’ practice. In this

subject, participants undertake ‘fieldwork’ by observing their organisational contexts

and interviewing colleagues about existing innovation practices. These insights are then

evaluated against the frameworks explored in this degree to identify practices needed

to enhance organisational innovation capacity. Participants receive feedback from

tutors, industry mentors and colleagues in their professional contexts.
