Podbite#8: Partnering for capability

Four weeks from the June event saw us visit Melbourne to plan our first AI innovation coalition in Australia. Catching up with partners of 5 years OES and their CEO Jon Davey was followed by visits to Sam Jacob at Collarts and Laura-Anne Bull and Llew Mann at Swinburne. Day 2 saw feedback from Gail Bray of VU and Marcia Devlin on the importance of keeping the human dimension in these innovations and of partnering. And good feedback from Catherine and Cherie at OUA, PK at FSO and Theo and colleagues at LTU on pitfalls and the need for a clear value proposition in ventures like this. All concluded with our first VET coalition partner in Laura Macpherson CEO of BKI.
