Ryan is the executive director of the Hargraves Institute, an Australian ‘think tank’ organisation renowned for sharing its innovation knowledge, tools and techniques to create successful businesses. He is also adjunct professor at the University of Technology (UTS) Business School and the director of managed Innovation International.

Ryan says, “In this globalising world, everyone has access to every type of information. But what people really value is being able to interact with someone in business in a similar situation to themselves.”

The forums ‘Innovate or Stagnate: the Why? How & What?’ are being run by Printing Industries in conjunction with the Hargrave Institute and sponsored by Media Super.

Joe Kowalewski, national director, communications and marketing at Printing Industries, says everyone attending the lunchtime forums would leave withsome invaluable insights into identifying and using innovation in their businesses.

He adds, “The collective wisdom and experience gained through more than 100 innovation projects from many of Australia’s leading business will be shared with attendees and examples provided of how innovation has impacted on printing businesses.

“With so many businesses looking for a competitive edge and trying to value-add in what they provide to their customers, being able to identify and implement innovation can be the catalyst that provides what they need.”

The seminars begin in Adelaide on May 28 featuring Ryan as keynote speaker, followed by Perth on May 30 featuring Tess Julian, a member of the Institute responsible for research, training sand innovation systems.

The Australia-wide tour will continue with Ryan presenting in Brisbane on June 4, Sydney June 5 and Melbourne June 7.
