HEADS TOGETHER (AUSTRALIA) RESEARCH AND
IMAGINATION SERVICES (BEYOND INNOVATION)
I like to have a thing suggested
rather than told in full.
When every detail is given, the
mind rests satisfied,
and the imagination loses the
desire to use its own wings.
- Thomas
Bailey Aldrich
(1836–1907)
American writer, editor, poet

HEADS TOGETHER can help your organisation to have a better future
 |
Imagination and research are the keys to the future. |
 |
Commonly there are not enough hours in the day to follow-up new initiatives and ideas in
organisations. Such projects are not necessarily large scale ones, however,
competing time-lines mean that such opportunities can easily "move down the
pile" on your desk despite their strategic importance. |
 |
For example, perhaps
it is timely for your organisation to be considering the development of a
newsletter, strategic plan, a fundraising and sponsorship program, strategic
partnerships or community social responsibility programs. |
 |
Let HEADS TOGETHER
help you facilitate new initiatives and ideas to fruition. For
larger scale research projects, our affiliation with expert sole
traders and specialist centres will fast-track to outstanding results. |
 |
HEADS TOGETHER can put together project teams with our strategic partners at
short notice. |

How to promote
imaginative thinking
 |
not starting with
creativity training! |
 |
not fearing failure
|
 |
following intuition
|
 |
synergy with your
organisation |
 |
freedom and looseness in
the systems |
 |
thinking without undue
restriction or references to the past |
 |
diversity of thinking
styles, experience, perspectives and expertise |
 |
reflection - by observing
one's own thinking |
 |
inquiry - asking
intelligent questions and exploring other people's thinking |
 |
collectively and
collaboratively advocating a point of view |
|
 |
Blocks to creative thinking
 |
Our inability to:
- sleep on ideas rather
than have things finished and out of the way quickly
- live with some chaos or
ambiguity in the interim
- offer an incorrect idea
in a group because it might lead to ridicule
- fantasise or daydream
- escape from stereotypes
or traditional roles
- observe specific details
in designs and structures, due to visual saturation
- escape from usual
geometric patterns |

Testimonials

I
found the reports on the [Department} web site...fascinating
reading. We have found the report very useful to inform some
work we are progressing with National ...Organisations. So,
thanks. |

Director, State Government Department
The
report provides the Department with a valuable analysis of the
extent to which competency standards for health professionals
exist, and have been adopted in Australia. It makes a
significant contribution to our understanding of the
availability and similarity of existing competency standards for
the health professions. ....the framework suggested in the
report will help to inform debate about the development of
competency standards in the future. |
