Demystifying innovation - Part 1: Defining innovation
Listen now
Description
Innovating. Innovative. Innovation. Innovate.  What does innovation look like, feel like and sound like and how do those in the sector define it? Welcome to the first episode of Creative Couch. This is the first episode in a 3-part series of “Demystifying innovation”. Each episode, we will be joined by experts in the industry who will be helping us unpack and understand what innovation truly is, and how we can all introduce and/or enhance it in our day-to-day lives.  We are joined by special guests Alexandra Lutyens, a senior innovation specialist at Creative HQ, Chris Jackson, founder of We Create Futures, and Finn Lawrence, founding director of Mevo, who will begin to unravel the inner workings of an innovative life.  What is innovation?  What is the actual benefit of us being innovative?  Together we will discuss these important, burning questions so many of us have, and what the impact innovation has had on us and our planet so far.  This episode of Creative Couch is hosted by Dr Colin Kennedy, Head of Creative HQ's School of Innovation and Senior Innovation Specialist. This episode was made possible thank you to the support from our friends at the Institute of Directors here in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
