Innovation & collaboration

We have been involved in innovation activity in very local contexts and in large, wide spread systems. In the past few years, we have been researching and writing on the intimate dynamics of innovation, finding out about the way in which the inter-personal conditions for innovation can be nurtured. We think that this involves

  • recognising that individuals create the conditions for innovation, both inside and outside themselves, and their organisations
  • exploring the ways in which innovation involves everyone, and is not managed as an ‘expert’ function
  • seeing how important insight & regulation can be in creating the conditions for innovation
  • accepting that intimacy is a key to how the capacity to innovate gets established & grows

Clients for innovation & collaboration include: the Ministry of Higher Education in Tunisia; Mandalah (Brazil); Strascheg Centre for Entrepreneurship, Munich; DG Enterprise and DG Education & Culture, European Union; the Health Foundation: University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust: Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust; Universities UK and their CLAHRC network.
