FISH@6 – Innovation workshop in Sydney
FISH@6 is a Foresight, Innovation and Sustainability Hothouse. The new branding for 2009 goes along with some really interesting new topics which cover information provided by excellent speakers as well as discussions of the provided information in groups and the work on innovation challenges.
In these challenging times “Manage your costs and INVEST in innovation” is an often heard message in any industry. In fact innovating out of this downturn collaboratively is the only solution regularly offered.
Therefore FISH@6 offers a platform to learn, network and look at some real challenges and work on them together, with the purpose to drive innovation in Sydney forward. Using a combination of creative tools, foresight methods and sustainability principles, new insights can be gained, and new ideas for new products, services and ways of interaction can be developed.
The workshops present some great speakers around a specific topic, who are experts but present the topic from different perspectives. This will be followed by group discussions on the application of the presented ideas.
The last part of the workshop is dedicated to an Innovation Challenge, which is usually presented by one of our participants. Using a combination of creative tools, foresight methods and sustainability principles, new insights will be gained and new ideas for new products, services or ways of interaction will be developed.
Futurist Janine Cahill, CEO and Innovation Designer of Future Journeys facilitates these workshops emphasising the importance of innovation in our society, especially in those challenging times. An expert in experiential learning and simulation games Janine Cahill inspires to think about the future, and to create and innovate collaboratively.
Participants can benefit on a personal level as well as on a business level. FISH@6 aspires to create a more innovative and sustainable future.
