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

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
