Hargraves Institute was founded in 2006 by Allan Ryan, a highly respected and experienced thought-leader with a passion for innovation, and a unique ability to “demystify innovation”. Having long been fascinated by Lawrence Hargrave’s “willingness to share experience for the benefit of others”, Allan used his own corporate experience and in-depth research to build a community to share insights around innovation.
Our leadership team includes Allan Ryan and Tess Julian in Sydney, and Sandra Loader in Melbourne. Their expertise spans innovation, collaboration, digital collaboration, leadership and strategy, working both in and with leading organisations. We also partner with experts who collaborate and share their specific expertise with our community.
Using collaboration, we’ve developed a wide range of programs, products and services proven to help leaders, teams and organisations succeed. Whether in the boardroom talking strategy, facilitating collaborative forums, coaching leaders, delivering programs and workshops, or sharing insights over a coffee, we have the knowledge and experience to support your innovation and collaboration requirements.
