Five years helping regional development programs recognise frugal innovation, everyday enterprise and the field repair
The School of Continuous Improvement's Impact Report 2021–2026 recounts five years extending regional development programs' records of innovation from launches and pilots to the adaptations, substitutions and repairs regional enterprises make unreported. It reports three case studies: a one-page adaptations-in-use record that lifted a grant program's recorded innovation rate from four to more than two hundred per hundred funded enterprises, a meta-review of 38 regional enterprise evaluations, and a pathway through which an engineering peak body now recognises a documented field repair as a practice innovation.
