Video transcript: Creating a culture of innovation

Transcript

I think the first thing for universities to accept when they're innovating and creating a culture of innovation is that there is risk.

And so I think as institutions we need to create spaces where we can experiment, where we can fail and where we can learn from our mistakes and move forward.

A lot of the time when we think about innovation, we want to do it on the grand scale but we haven't built all of the knowledge along the way to get there. We haven't been experimenting in small places to actually go on that innovation journey. We haven't brought the community with us.

So I think it's really about universities investing in experimenting with teaching and learning three to five years in the future, engaging our students in that process, having them drive the process so that we're innovating with them and we're not innovating at them.

Then we can start to build the knowledge we need to innovate on these broad scales that we really want to and need to.
