Ingenious Oz Project
Inspiring the ideas of a Nation — the research arm of Nigel Collin Advisory.
Inspiring Innovation & Creativity
Australia is more ingenious than we give it credit for.
"We believe that if we can encourage others to pursue their ideas, Australia will be a richer and more interesting place." — Nigel Collin
Which is why Nigel founded the Ingenious Oz Project in 2013 — to capture and share stories of ingenious and clever people, inspiring others to think creatively, innovate, and pursue their business dreams. From these stories, patterns emerged in what successful people do and how they do it. It is these stories and lessons that he weaves into his keynote presentations, workshops, and the backbone of the Game of Inches®.
In 2018 Brad Foster joined the team and, sponsored by the Northern Territory Government and Department of Business, Trade and Innovation, they set off on the latest research road trip.
The NT Series
Real Stories and Lessons of Innovation and Success
Australia is a very clever nation. We've always been very inventive and very creative at coming up with unique ways of doing things. In fact, we are far more ingenious than we give ourselves credit for.
As we see it, Australia is full of everyday Aussies doing ingenious things. Ingenious ideas can be found everywhere and on any level of our society and we want to celebrate that. We are going to travel this wonderful country to discover stories of everyday Australians who have implemented ingenious ideas that are making a difference to them, their businesses, their communities and to other Australians.

The Value of Grassroots Innovation
Since the beginning, the Ingenious Oz Project has unravelled a wealth of practical insights and wisdom on how bottom-up innovation drives sustainable growth, solves challenges, and helps navigate uncertainty. It forms the foundation of the Game of Inches® methodology, and has led to doctoral research on how leaders can align bottom-up innovation with top-down strategy.
