Collaborative innovation

In February 2008, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said: “As I roll around Australia and talk to people, there’s a whole bunch of ideas out there amongst our brightest and best… there’s a bunch of expertise outside government, and we need to call forth the talents and energies of the nation.”

The Australia 2020 Summit on April 19 and 20 will bring together 1,000 Australians to help shape a long-term strategy for the nation’s future.

To participate in a nationwide discussion of the Australia 2020 Summit issues, log on to the Wisdom of Oz website www.wisdomofoz.com.au, a joint project developed by Monash University’s Faculty of Business and Economics’ Social and Economic Interface Research Network (SEIRnet) and Brandaide Communications.

“Unlike blogs and social networking sites that generate data without insight, the Wisdom of Oz uses specialised analysis tools and algorithms to identify the real issues that are critical to all Australians,” Professor Charmine Härtel from Monash University’s SEIRnet says.

The Wisdom of Oz will allow people to post their suggestions on any of the 10 future challenges identified by the Government, comment on the suggestions of others and start ‘Open Talk’ on topics not included by the Government in their 10 future challenges.

Guy Carvalho, CEO of Brandaide Communications, says, “Unlike the Federal Government’s ‘email us’ style of feedback, our online community allows all submissions to be viewed by anyone for comment, agreement, disagreement or enhancement and facilitates many-to-many dialogue, rather than one-way chatter.”
