This is a presentation based on a recent talk I conducted for the NSW government as a part of LiveWire 2011.
The talk focused on Creativity and Innovation with a theme of rethinking how we create and how we run our organisations and companies.
This presentation was based on a 30 minute keynote and is best accompanied by discussion however... the 9 lessons on Innovation worth sharing should make sense.
Thanks you to #livewire2011 and Zach Kitsche from the Wollongong Council.

It’s about looking at people
& seeing things from their viewpoint.
Not your own.
