People Rocket

People Rocket is excited to announce that we have been selected to work with the Australian government to research exploring the most effective ways to teach and apply innovation. This partnership incorporates joint research exploring the most effective ways to increase adoption of innovation in on-going projects within complex organizations. The primary goal of this project is to build on-going, independent expertise and capability for innovation by leading 72 Australian Public Service (APS) employees in applying new methods to a wide range of on-going projects. The partnership provides three different program structures: a two-day workshop; a half-day workshop plus an eight-week course; and a 14-week course. We will also look at application of the learning sciences to influence workforce innovation applied learning programs, and approaches to measuring enduring efficacy of this approach. The entire program is designed to provide employees and partners with a way to teach innovation in-house, without outside consulting, moving forward. On a personal note - Rich and Tessa from our leadership team also volunteered their time to do pro bono participation in Australia's Innovation Month in 2019, and plan to do so again in 2020.
