One Million Acts of Innovation (Australia) is a not for profit innovation incubator and 5 year campaign for social and economic prosperity.
Text of OMAoI Mission Overview (July 2014)
1| Mission Overview
2| Welcome to One Million Acts of Innovation Mission: to make
Australia a world leader in innovation. Australia is falling behind
in innovation. Since 2004, we have dropped 10 places on the UNs
Global Innovation Index (GII), from #9 to #19, despite avoiding a
recession. Our strong economy has not produced a culture of
creativity and risk. The proportion of innovation-active businesses
in Australia has hovered around 41% since 2006. Large Australian
businesses rank almost last in the OECD statistics on innovation.
OMAoI is a not-for-profit innovation incubator and 5 year campaign
dedicated to fostering social and economic development in
Australia.

needs to engender a culture of creativity, innovation, and
resilience in all participants Australian Innovation System Report

4| Culture is the key Innovation culture is collaborative,
inclusive, and oriented toward action. It thrives where people feel
safe and empowered to take risks. OMAoIs innovation platform and
workshop offerings will catalyse a national culture of innovation
by popularising principles of safety, inclusion, experimentation,
and risk. We are preparing Australia to innovatively engage the
future. We need a new approach to create an innovative Australia,
one based on innovation culture.
5| Innovation culture is the answer An integrated systems-based
approach to innovation: Leadership: A 21st century approach that
democratises this critical element of innovation Engagement:
Enabling purpose-driven participation by actively engaging peoples
sense of intrinsic value Execution: Access to tools, resources and
people that enable rapid prototyping and acts of innovation Our
model, proven in previous ventures, is a catalyst for enabling
organic innovation

7| A campaign that drives innovation The OMAoI launch will be
marked by the start of a 5 year clock that counts down to the end
of the decade. The launch event will highlight the beta projects
that we have rolled out through 2014. It will showcase our
Innovation Ambassadors and community leaders, our educational
resources and an online Workshop Development Toolkit. The OMAoI
campaign launches on NewYears Eve, 2014, in multiple states and
regional areas.
8| A national community of innovators The OMAoI community is
inclusive.We embrace all organisations that are inspired by the
OMAoI mission. Were speaking first to peer progressives people who
believe that collaboration, participation, and democratisation are
the most effective ways of getting things done. Digital natives
feature heavily in this group. Thought leaders, innovators, and
entrepreneurs from earlier generations will be critical partners as
we expand the OMAoI community. OMAoI is co-creating a national
ecosystem of passionate people committed to innovation.
