Champion-ing at the bit! 🔊 Here's just a few photos from our fabulous final innovation event for the year! As our last hurrah, we partnered with Digital Transformation Perth and held a Meetup where everyone was encouraged to pitch in and solve a few sticky problems for the public sector. It was brilliant to see #collaboration flowing between public and private sector attendees, and we think a few great ideas were generated - so stay tuned in 2025 as we try and pilot one or two! Huge thanks to the DTP crew and the team at Riff at Spacecubed for hosting this event. Special mention to my fellow WA Public Sector Innovation Network Champions - Philippa Hansen, Tonya Bailey, Michelle Crean and Daniel Buhagiar...we did it! Exceeded KPIs, made some great connections, built the network and generally had a great time sharing this innovation in the public sector journey that we are all so passionate about. #innovation #colleagues #collaboration #growth #publicsector #goals #networks #haveago #passionprojects

😩 If you missed out on the Australian Innovation Management Institute (AIMI) event on Wednesday night...well we are very sorry because it was fantastic! WAPSIN Co-Chair Michelle Crean joined other powerhouse innovators from the WA public sector including Jodi Cant DG of Finance and the original public sector innovator, Charlie Gunningham chief innovator at JTSI and Jodie Pearson from WA Police on a fun, informative and interesting panel chat. The laughs were loud, the advice was inspiring, and the networking was productive - so make sure you check out AIMIs page for their next event and don't miss out!
