 JAMES O’LOGHLIN
|
James O’Loghlin is the host of The New Inventors on ABCTV and Sunday Nights on ABC Local Radio.
Drawing on his experience as host of “The New Inventors” James speaks to audiences nationally about how people and organisations can become more innovative, not by increasing money contributed to R and D, but by changing the way in which they think. James discusses how modern work practices - meetings, phone calls and emails, can rob of us of the time we need to do the one thing essential for innovation; thinking.
James suggests ways in which companies and their employees can generate thinking and organise themselves to maximise chances of being able to produce and use new and useful ideas.
