Act 1 | Festival as entrepreneur
Edinburgh as the world’s festival city
Twelve festivals working together
Innovation is messy by design
Assets (naming & making more of them)
Rules (and breaking them)
Open innovation, service design & the arts
It’s not just about the projects
Projects
Projects Processes
Projects Processes Networks
Projects Processes Networks People
Projects Processes Networks People Learning
supporting ourselves & others | open data

Act 2 | The four things on my mind
#1- Let’s not just copy… let’s *really* copy
#2 – Serendipity needs to be engineered
#3 - You may not have the right skills (yet)
#4 – Innovation is not a one-night stand
