Be exposed to problem-solvers ready to tackle your organisation's challenges.

You may have a project that’s ripe for collaborative thinking or intense research, an unexplored opportunity or problem space, an idea that needs its commercial benefit explored, or a plan to transform the innovative capacity of your staff. Whatever it is, you have the chance for it to be explored by a group of engaged and talented undergraduate students.

About the subject

Over a semester, Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation (BCII) students work in small multidisciplinary teams – 5 to 7 students with differing core degrees – to collaboratively develop ideas and strategies that tackle complex challenges presented by industry partners.

The subject runs once a year from March until June with expression of interest opening several months prior for industry partners to participate.

I learnt as much from the students as I hope they learned in engaging with our challenge. Their explorers mindset and ability to navigate complexity were evident from the start and I enjoyed seeing their initial puzzlement at our problem space mature into a great final presentation. Well worth the time investment.

What’s involved

As an industry partner, you will need to:

• provide an open, complex, organisational challenge
• assign a dedicated industry mentor to be the point of contact for students during the project. This contact needs to be available for the subject’s key dates, including weekly meetings, mid-point check-in and final presentations (see the brochure for timings).
• have an executive sponsor for the project.
