INNOVATION WORKSHOP BUFFET

WHAT IS IT AND WHY YOU SHOULD PARTICIPATE By Saran Davaajargal THE OFFICE OF RESEARCH & INNOVATION (ORI) continues to innovate and meet the needs of our industry partners and our growing research community at Humber through value-added offerings. A prominent example of this is our Innovation Workshop Buffet series, offered free-of-charge, 90-minute long virtual training sessions, developed and curated by our team of experts. These workshops primarily focus on developing creative problem-solving skills, promoting values-based innovation and adopting design thinking methodologies. We offer these workshops to our industry partners to empower them to incorporate these skill sets into their workforce for effectiveness and competitiveness in the age of innovation. Industry partner representatives, faculty and staff at Humber who have participated in these workshops have gained valuable insights. ORI has successfully facilitated two seasons of the Innovation Workshop Buffet series. The Fall 2021 Innovation Workshop Buffet was offered from October 14th to November 19th, 2021. The workshop participants have been able to expand their learning, explore human-centred frameworks, re-think problem solving and learn how to effectively make an impact on their audiences.
