• Inside the Innovation Matrix - Finding the hidden human dimensions (Research)
  Oct 2008 | Australian Business Foundation

  The latest research project from the Australian Business Foundation delves into the human kaleidoscope of innovation. Going well beyond old-school, linear stories about a brilliant inventor or creative entrepreneur, this project seeks to understand the transformative power of innovation by exposing the hidden intricacies of individuals, their networks and their interactions – the human dimensions of innovation.

  This book is not about innovation for its own sake. It is about how to drive innovation-led prosperity, to enable Australia to continue to be a great place to live, work and play.

• Innovation in Winning Organisations in Australia: Myths and Realities (Report)
  Thu Oct 09 2008 | Professor Graham Hubbard, Professor of Strategic Management, Adelaide University School of Business
  A 25-year study of 11 top-performing Australian organisations has revealed valuable innovation lessons for companies wanting to emulate them. These findings show that many conventional views on innovation are myths, and provide a practical guide to innovating successfully, overcoming the barriers many companies face. By using a broad definition of innovation and by getting the whole organisation geared for change, Australian companies can greatly improve their innovative capacity.
