hi
We’re Hargraves Institute
We’re innovation experts, with a difference.
That difference is ‘community’, and the understanding that collaboration is key to innovation, and innovation is essential to growth.
For over 15 years, our ‘People First’ Innovation and Tools approach has helped leaders and teams build innovation culture and thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Why are some teams and organisations more successful?
Is it their people or teams? Their leaders or leadership? Their resources or tools?
In the workplace of today, we each face unprecedented challenges and need answers - fast. Understanding how and where innovation happens, nurturing healthy collaboration (in-person and online), and what makes a successful team tick is critical.
As Australia's leading community of practice for collaboration and innovation, our experience speaks for itself. Through our 'People-First' approach and proven tools, knowledge, and methods, we work with leaders to embed innovation culture and improve performance, productivity, and growth while equipping teams and individuals with an innovation mindset, skills and tools for healthy collaboration.
Because when you build innovation into the DNA of a company, it lasts. It just becomes part of what you do.
70%
Research shows that over 70% of innovation comes from collaboration (and imitation), while less than 20% comes from entirely new ideas.

Collaboration is key to innovation
Digital Collaboration
Many organisations have embraced social collaboration tools for their potential to solve business problems and deliver innovative ways of working. So why is seamless cross-organisational collaboration so rare?
Working Collaboratively
Research tells us that to be fast and innovative, teams work best — for the organisation and for the individual. How can you get the best from your team and develop your own career at the same time?
Diversity & Inclusion
The evidence is clear. Diversity and inclusion are critical for a healthy society, economy and workplace. But we can only succeed by removing invisible barriers, changing outdated mindsets and creating a workplace where everyone can belong.
