= <!--StartFragment-->Strategy #1 - Create a student led Innovation Committee =
Following the research involved in the landscape canvas of UC's current Entrepreneurship and Innovation ecosystem, it becomes clear that UC offers a range of I&E resources that is catered towards the wider community. Whilst this is important and beneficial towards the UC community, there is an obvious disconnect of these resources towards students who want an introductory "taste" of I&E.
This is where the formation of a strong, student-led Innovation committee of students would be incredibly beneficial in promoting the various entrepreneurship resources that we have right on campus. This promotion will come in the form of events, activities, guerilla marketing, which will occur over a cross-platform social media.
= Strategy #2 - Improve social events and collaboration between clubs and societies=
Examining the current social and cultural clubs on campus at UC, we possess an incredibly diverse range of sporting, academic, social and cultural societies. Within some of these societies, there already contains a tie to outside organisations, some having origins from these organisations, such as Enactus, Rotaract or Amnesty International. These direct ties towards community, share common goals and aspirations with that of human centered entrepreneurship and Innovation, whereby the common goal of finding solutions to situations and problems affecting the world is universally shared.
Milestones:
= Strategy #3 - Establishing an Entrepreneurship & Innovation Help Centre =
With the release of UC's latest strategic plan 'Distinctive by Design' which outlines UC's own milestone endeavors for the years 2018-2022, Entrepreneurship and Innovation was at the forefront for strategic importance to the Institution. Therefore, an invested interest should occur in the establishment of an E&I Help Centre on campus, a common hub whereby students can receive advice whilst developing a passion for E&I principles.
This facility will possess a wide range of built in amenities and facilitative collaboration spaces, from engineering styled labs to open conference room where students can convene to work on group assessments. It will be a multi purpose space for students, and by students, which can home all club and society meetings and events. This space can also be used to incubate the beginnings of UC's first startup's in the future.
= Strategy #4 - Incorporate a UIFresh approach to curriculum for first year's <br/> =
During interviews with incoming first year students at UC, it was found that whilst many said they would be interested in learning about Entrepreneurship and Innovation , they wouldn't necessarily go out of their way to seek various avenue's and pathways. This can be amended by bringing the E&I to first years, during orientation week, where they are initially discovering what UC has to offer.
The incorporation of design thinking into the curriculum of first year students in all faculties will be incredibly beneficial, as the design thinking skills learned will produce a significant impact on the entrepreneurship and innovation landscape at UC, which will bring long term and continual benefits to students own professional careers.
