Abstract:
My vision is a world where innovative ideas and solutions that support new ways of co-existing are invented, explored and shared. This is a world that is abundant with new opportunities to integrate the collective opportunities and intelligences of those who have been systematically absent from the discourses of experimentation, discovery and decision making.

Platforms for creativity and innovation are safe spaces to learn, make mistakes, and invent new ways of being. These are the platforms that we - the few and the privileged - have the opportunity to engage. We must become more aware of the enabling factors that influence the ability to participate in the acts of innovation through broader and more diversified participation.
