Henley Forum 20th Annual Conference: Collaboration for Innovation

The Henley Forum 20th Annual Conference

Collaboration for Innovation: Celebrating leading-edge practice

Wednesday 5th - Thursday 6th February 2020

Collaboration for Innovation: Celebrating leading-edge practice

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you‘ve always got” – Anon.

As the quote suggests, doing the same things, talking to the same sorts of people inevitably leaves you going round in circles with the same kind of problems. Pushing the leading-edge and developing a culture for innovation means bringing different people with different views and perspectives together to co-create new insights. Or, to put it another way: enabling collaboration for innovation.

And that’s exactly what The Henley Forum has been doing in our vibrant community for 20 years. We’ve been bringing thoughtful practitioners, practically-minded academics and imaginative thought leaders together. We’ve been actively working to connect people involved in knowledge, learning and change work across functions and sectors. We’ve been collaborating with our Organisational Partners to develop new knowledge and practical wisdom that gives them the edge in addressing some of their most challenging problems.

Our ultimate aim is develop more dynamically-capable organisations where people know, learn, adapt and innovate. It’s a big aim. So, we want to catch people doing things well. We want to celebrate and share what’s working in practice. We also want to look forward and push the boundaries of leading-edge practice.

Our flagship 20^th Annual Conference provides a perfect opportunity to celebrate and to look ahead.
