TRANSCRIPT
Leading InnovationA five day intensive program.
™
01
Our mission is to educate and inspire through applied innovation.
As the start-up economy continues to grow in impact and influence, and the increasing capability of technology drastically increases competition and customer expectation, established businesses, and their people, must find new ways to continually adapt and innovate if they’re to remain successful and relevant.
After years of working with some of Australia’s most talented and innovative startup founders, we believe that an organisation’s greatest innovation advantage is, in fact, its’ people.
At the H2 Institute we prepare tomorrow’s leaders with the innovation skills, tools and resources needed, not only to survive in the era of technology disruption but, to fundamentally reshape the future.
Through exposure to cutting edge technologies, our programs cater to leaders at all levels of business by developing capabilities in strategic thinking, creative innovation, human-centred design, project execution and more.

H2 INSTITUTE
From idea to implementation, a powerful and exclusive learning opportunity for your top talent.
A Hands On Innovation Learning Experience Leading Innovation is a week-long immersive course that examines how key converging technologies will shape our future and unpack the skill set and frameworks needed to unlock innovative leadership in a world of rapid disruption and change. We’ll expand your mindset, thinking and skills to understand how innovation happens in practice and why some companies do it brilliantly while others flounder.
Learn to look beyond your organisation and industry to generate fresh ideas. Pinpoint an innovation challenge and develop a robust yet flexible action plan.
Embed ideas that create and drive organisational value, securing buy-in so your projects last and have meaningful impact. We engage startup founders, investors, industry experts and design thinking professionals to help you embed your learning in the real-world.
