Mission Overview
2|
Welcome to One Million Acts of Innovation
Mission: to make Australia a world leader in innovation.
Australia is falling behind in innovation. Since 2004, we have dropped 10 places on the UN’s Global Innovation Index (GII), from #9 to #19, despite avoiding a recession. Our strong economy has not produced a culture of creativity and risk. The proportion of innovation-active businesses in Australia has hovered around 41% since 2006. Large Australian businesses rank almost last in the OECD statistics on innovation.
OMAoI is a not-for-profit innovation incubator and 5 year campaign dedicated to fostering social and economic development in Australia.

“To create a high performing innovation
system, Australia needs to engender a culture of
creativity, innovation, and resilience in all participants”

Culture is the key
Innovation culture is collaborative, inclusive, and oriented toward action. It thrives where people feel safe and empowered to take risks.
OMAoI’s innovation platform and workshop offerings will catalyse a national culture of innovation by popularising principles of safety, inclusion, experimentation, and risk.
We are preparing Australia to innovatively engage the future.
We need a new approach to create an innovative Australia, one based on innovation culture.

Innovation culture is the answer
An integrated systems-based approach to innovation:• Leadership: A 21st century approach that
democratises this critical element of innovation• Engagement: Enabling purpose-driven participation
by actively engaging people’s sense of intrinsic value• Execution: Access to tools, resources and people
that enable rapid prototyping and acts of innovation
Our model, proven in previous ventures, is a catalyst for enabling organic innovation

A campaign that drives innovation
The OMAoI launch will be marked by the start of a 5 year clock that counts down to the end of the decade.
The launch event will highlight the beta projects that we have rolled out through 2014. It will showcase our Innovation Ambassadors and community leaders, our educational resources and an online Workshop Development Toolkit.
The OMAoI campaign launches on New Years’ Eve, 2014, in multiple states and regional areas.

A national community of innovators
The OMAoI community is inclusive. We embrace all organisations that are inspired by the OMAoI mission.We’re speaking first to ‘peer progressives’ – people who believe that collaboration, participation, and democratisation are the most effective ways of getting things done.Digital natives feature heavily in this group. Thought leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs from earlier generations will be critical partners as we expand the OMAoI community.
OMAoI is co-creating a national ecosystem of passionate people committed to innovation.
