Early Australians used what is now called Design Thinking to adapt, improvise and innovate solutions to problems amplified by our remoteness.... Regional Australia is the forgotten powerhouse of Innovation with a proud history of creativity, and today more than ever, we need to rediscover the transformative power of Design Thinking to shape a better Australia. Paul and Brandon will take participants on a journey of rediscovery of the power of Design Thinking with particular focus on small business and sole traders. They will also present case studies demonstrating how a Small Regional Community, a Corporation, a single inventor, and a few small businesses have used design thinking to achieve global success.
