Sydney Ideas – Is storytelling essential to innovation?

Where
University of Sydney
University of Sydney
Parramatta and City Roads, Camperdown NSW 2006
When

Tuesday 26 November from 6pm to 7pm

Major innovations make for great stories when they succeed – but could breakthroughs happen in the first place without stories and creative leaps to shape ideas and guide collaborations?

In this Sydney Ideas event, hear insights from the University of Sydney’s inaugural Vice-Chancellor Fellow and Princeton professor Sophie Gee; celebrated writer Charlotte Wood, the first Australian to be shortlisted for the prestigious Booker Prize since 2014; Charles Perkins Centre Academic Director Stephen Simpson; and Sydney Policy Lab Director Kate Harrison Brennan. 

As award-winning novelists, scientists and policymakers, they use creative narratives to push boundaries and work to understand how change happens. It’s led to the insight that world-changing breakthroughs and great stories share the same surprising ingredients: contingency, serendipity, curiosity, generosity and friendship. Learn how to accelerate your next breakthrough by telling the story of your big ideas.
