Critical Questions Workshop for Innovation in North Auckland in Partnership with Massey University and Activate North

1 – 4 pm, Wednesday 6th July 2022

Onsite & Online.

Followed by VIP Launch Event of the i4 Accelerator @ Massey University

Focusing on the topic of Nurturing an Innovative Business and Education Community across northern Auckland, Activate North in partnership with Massey University invites you to join an innovative, cross-sector and collaborative workshop to identify critical business issues and questions that, if addressed, could change the future trajectory of the business sector across north Auckland.

Facilitated by The Collaborative (a not-for-profit Impact Enterprise), this Critical Questions workshop will see you join a select group of smart crowd leaders from professional services, manufacturing, education and primary industries, where your role will be to collaborate with others, build on thinking together, and identify the questions and issues that really matter to your organisation.

Questions will be explored through multiple lenses, including whether data could be a catalyst for change, who would benefit most from solving questions, who is best placed to answer them, and could a collaborative approach be taken?

This session will be held on campus and online via interactive webinar, with outcomes being shared back with all who register to further opportunities for collaboration via specific join-up innovation projects.
