OK, IT IS TIME FOR:

THE STRANGE OBSERVATION ONTHE NEXT BIG IDEA!

THE BIG IDEA?

WE ARE THE ONES WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.

WE ARE NOT (ONLY) FUNDRAISERS.

WE ARE FACILITATORS IN A WHOLENEW SUPPLY AND DEMAND ECOSYSTEM

OUR SUCCESS WILL REQUIRE TRUE CREATIVITY AND CLEVERNESS…

…IT WILL ALSO REQUIRE A NEW KIND OF WISDOM AND LEADERSHIP.

THE FUTURE DOES NOT DEMANDTHAT WE ARE GENIUSES WITH ALL THE NEW ANSWERS…

…IT MERELY REQUIRES THAT WEARE ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS OF THE RIGHT PEOPLE.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Embrace transformational shifts.

Build a bridge to new models and new ways of thinking.

Harness vital human, intellectual and financial resources.

Blurring sector boundaries.

Organisations of every size and type.

Curate the very best thinking.

LET’S “UNPACK” AREAL INNOVATION

A SIMPLE PREMISE:

Why do organisations in the best position(culturally, experientially, geographically)

to have the greatest impact, seem to have thehardest time getting the necessary resources

(financial, intellectual, human)?
