Here is what some of our recent clients

have said ….

The Queensland College of Teachers engaged Dr. Irena Yashin-Shaw of Innovation Edge to assist us to develop and sustain a culture of innovation within the organisation. The quality of Dr. Yashin-Shaw’s work was exceptional. She is an engaging and highly skilled facilitator who ensured all the participants of the workshops were active and had the opportunity to contribute to the issues identified. She has extensive knowledge and understanding of innovation and how to create an environment within an organisation for innovation to thrive. The participants found her sessions not just informative but fun. There were immediate benefits for the QCT from Dr. Yashin-Shaw’s work.

The benefits included enhanced communication and relationships across the organisation with much greater willingness of staff to contribute ideas and participate in making innovation happen; thinking differently about the challenges facing QCT; increased confidence of staff in calculated risk taking and increased capacity of staff to use the different tools, strategies and processes to develop options for innovative solutions. Processes were put in place to ensure the longevity of the program and that innovation momentum is sustained.

Highly recommend Dr. Irena to any organisation wanting to improve performance and innovation capacity. (John Ryan Director QCT)

Leading in a complex and constantly changing environment brings exciting ongoing challenges,

the Innovative Leader Mentoring Program has provided very contemporary insights and skills to

enable me to see where innovation is critical in this new world, and how we can be responsive

and adaptable. The program has opened a creative thinking process which has flicked a switch on

how I see, and use, innovation. Prior to the program I didn’t really know how to use the creativity

we all have, to engage in a different way with our teams, and help energise us towards clever and

smart workforces.

I can highly recommend working with Dr. Irena she is certainly dynamic and very tuned into the

needs of the individuals in our program, I found there were many times where the light bulb

came on. We were pushed to think critically about where we were personally and where our

teams are at. (Leanne Smith Nursing Director. Chief Health Officer Branch. Department of

Health)
