What is the future for the economies of developed counties? Corporations continually exhibit a lack of leadership and strategic thinking when it comes to the type of society and economy we desire (or even they desire). Strategy for them seems to be limited to short-term gains for a company within an industry, disallowing an expansive future not only for those companies, but also for society. Creative practitioners and the cultural sector have a more encompassing view of what it means to be citizen and have a greater propensity for this larger vision for our future. We often take this greater vision from creative practitioners for granted and we also tend marginalise the enormous impact that creativity has had economically. There is an untapped breadth of leadership for the future of society and the economy that is bound up in creative practitioners and the cultural sector. More >

The WiFi Case Study

As those engaged in pure research strike out to resolve their questions they come across technical roadblocks for which they need to find solutions. This is succinctly demonstrated by Dr John O’Sullivan in his search for exploding black holes in the 1980’s as told by the ABC’s Cataylist “WIFI Windfall” program in October 2009.
“We were looking at hundreds of metres of film looking for small v shaped patterns in it …. And I'm I guess I'm inherently lazy so I was starting to think at that time hey there must be a better way of doing this.” - Dr John O’Sullivan interviewed for the ABC’s Catalyst program “WIFI Windfall” October 2009.

Dr O’Sullivan invented the Fast Fourier Transform Chip. The CSIRO, who Dr. O’Sullivan works for, was coming to terms with connecting portable computers and they envisioned and developed what would become WIFI today, but they had a problem, one that the Fast Fourier Transform Chip could resolve. The wave (the Fast Fourier Transform Chip) that came from the ocean of pure research into black holes made WIFI possible. Business, community and the CSIRO have been able to surf that wave to substantial financial benefit.
