Our guest speaker for the evening will be Michael England, Industry Director, AECOM, speaking about Innovation.

• What do we really mean when we talk about innovation - and while it might sound glamorous, do we really need it?
• There are multiple ideas on what it is or isn’t. Innovation can be based on science, technology, economics, business, management systems or all (or none) of these. There are also clear differences on how people believe innovation can be achieved.

• Innovation is at the heart of our continuing evolution – commercially, socially and professionally. It is part and parcel of our hard wiring but as necessary as it is, can you really teach innovation?

Any questions about the AGM can be made to the NSW Division Secretary acting as Returning Officer: Andrea Zambolt. Ph 0448 215 525 or email: nsw@eianz.org
