Crowdsourcing Innovations
DESCRIPTION:
Most schools are engaging in innovative practices, whether it’s the exploration of agile spaces, digital pedagogies, contemporary transcripts or even ‘school-within-a-school’ models. However, what happens to those ideas or innovations that lie outside the realm of our personal interest? Those that aren’t valued by decision makers? Those of the quiet and more humble? Idea management provides a strategic way to be truly inclusive and crowdsource ideas from across all facets of your organisation.
