NZCS on Innovation
An interesting article on the NZ Computer Society website on what we need to do to increase our innovation potential.
The summary:
- Finish fixing ICT education in schools
- Government needs to understand the potential of technology
- Significantly increase the number of R&D Internships available
- Excite kids (and their parents!) about IT as a career
- Activate student communities to drive a change in culture
- Support and change the mindset of our entrepreneurs
- Act professionally
- Internationally align ICT degrees and link them closer to industry
- Help grow professionals through mentoring and development
- Get Ultra-fast Broadband in place
Sounds a pretty good list to me.
