Change by chance, by design or by stealth – Callaghan
Innovation’s ‘birth’ far from democratic
(sticK - 21 December 2012 ) Hypothetically speaking, say we’re all on the same page and all wanting more to happen around the innovation space – you know, spend $X here and see a clear $Y return there.
Say too there’s been a suggestion for an Advanced Technology Institute – somewhat replicated on overseas models – a better, faster link between industry needs and the country’s ability to provide clever science and tech answers.
You carry on down a path which would see the broad-brush proposals for the ATI begin to be put in place.
Then, a bit down the track, going back to a private-industry business model that allows you to pull a lever here and you observe a result there, you think, ‘nah, let’s change the way we do things totally, fundamentally’.
