Innovation Camp 2019
Everyone is talking about innovation. The message seems to be “Innovate or die!”
But what does it mean? What does it really mean to innovate? And how do you do it? Beyond the theory of “innovation,” what do you do? What steps do you take? Where do the ideas come from, and how do you move from idea to action?
Here’s where you find out.
Innovation Camp provides an inspirational and collaborative environment where you will learn, share, find solutions to your challenges, and become a more powerful catalyst for innovation in your organisation. You’ll hear from leading changemakers and social entrepreneurs from outside and inside the sector and be provoked and inspired about how to drive change in your NGO. The masterclass will be a fast-moving mix of inspiration and hands-on advice from breakthrough NGO innovators, plus working sessions where you and your colleagues will address the challenges you face every day.
Innovation Camp covers the issues that drive innovation:
Inspiration – What is happening in the market that we need to understand – digital disruption and other trends, tech transformation, storytelling.
Strategy – What processes, models and ways of working will transform your organisation’s performance through a more strategic approach?
Culture – How can you innovate with collaborators, provide personal leadership on innovation, and build a high-performing team that innovates as second nature?
Innovation Camp will help you navigate these challenges:
Adapting to the new world. Today one dedicated activist can now start her own organization on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, build a huge following, and raise money via crowdfunding. So where does this leave our NGOs, our bureaucracies, our jobs – and how can we build engagement as quickly and as cheaply as the startups do?
Responding to the unexpected. Improv performers always say, “Yes…and.” To make innovation, improvisation is critical, so when innovation takes us out of our comfort zone, how can we respond to challenges by listening, building and nurturing?
Becoming a better storyteller. Since the beginning of history, storytelling has been what engages us and shapes our perspective. So what’s your personal story, your innovation story, your organisation’s story? We will help you work that out, so you can inspire others around your vision for innovation.
Here’s the speaker lineup so far:
–Kaz McGrath, co-founder of the Ration Challenge, a campaign infused with brand new ways of raising funds and awareness specifically focused on the global refugee crisis. She’s committed her next 20 years to asking traditional organizations to update their way of doing things so that we can finally transform the largest challenges of our time.
–Mike Conway, the emotional agility and mental coach for the Socceroos, Australia’s national football team. An expert in emotional intelligence, he’s also a TV producer and the creator of the XVenture Family Challenge TV series in Australia and New Zealand
— Ellen Janssens, one of the organizers of Innovation Camp, will discuss Greenpeace Netherlands’ new “open campaign” by developed in cooperation volunteers and supporters, as well as the Innovate for Good initiative, where Dutch NGOs and startups innovate together.
