Are you ready to plan for the future of your business?

While each innovation approach has some overlap and similarities, it’s the nuances that make them distinct. Partnerships can have a wide range of impacts for corporations and water utilities alike; they can enhance technological capability, supply chain flow and a range of other things. In this episode, we talk partnerships with Nick Shewring, Strategy and Client Lead for GHD Digital. This is the third episode in a series on Stretching Your Innovation Dollar, where we explore how water utilities can partner with, co-create with and empower innovators both from within their organisations and externally. Nick takes us through best practices for forming partnerships whether you’re a large organisation, startup, or individual and also explains the massive value partnerships bring to the water industry by helping us work better together. About Nick Nick is the Strategy and Innovation Lead for D-Lab at GHD and one of our awesome team members here at AquaLAB. In his past business life, he worked with Air New Zealand and also co-founded successful New Zealand startup BizDojo as well as other startups. Nick has coached and mentored hundreds of startup teams and has a significant network in the local and international startup ecosystem. His specialty is bringing people together to achieve impressive things. Connect with Nick Shewring on LinkedIn

After working as a startup founder for nearly 15 years, Shewring joins the WaterStart Australia team to further water innovation efforts and help attract more international technology companies to Queensland by working with major water utilities and water consumers across the state. WaterStart Australia was created as a result of the Queensland Government and Nevada (U.S.) becoming Sister States in early 2018, committing to work collaborative across key industries and opportunities including advancement in water technology. That same year, in May 2018, Queensland Urban Utilities (QUU) became WaterStart’s first international member. Shrewing is currently also the founder and CEO of The ikiFounder Network, which provides mentorship and financial support to venture founders. His previous experience includes serving as Co-founder and CIO of BizDojo, Co-founder and CEO of Colo, and Head of Mobile Technology Innovation for Air New Zealand.  Nick joins the Channels for Innovation Podcast to discuss: Collaboration between large water utilities and small councils in Queensland, Australia. Water situation in Queensland, Australia The development of the first international branch of WaterStart The benefits to the water sector and water technology industry of bridging Nevada and Australia. How water technology companies can scale after successful pilots

Great entrepreneurial ideas come from people, but also from environments that foster creativity, provide support and that lift people to help them to go further. This is part of why co-working spaces- places where creatives and companies can rent space by the desk or the week - have exploded around the world as hubs for people to go to, to make their dreams happen, and to keep the motivation and the energy up.And here, the name BizDojo has been synonymous with co-working since they started on Karangahape Rd in 2009. Founded by Jonah Merchant and Nick Shewring, they grew from a few people at 12 desks to now having thousands of residents, and a string of coworking and collaborative spaces across New Zealand, with some big plans for 2018. They were also a big part of bringing GridAKL into being - that many in Auckland tech will know, spinning up the original GridAKL prototype space, and later running coworking, networking, business support, events and activations in a new permanent building. With BizDojo spaces and events across New Zealand they’ve played a role in thousands of creative enterprises and have been keen to give back when they can, having taken leadership positions in the industry. Like last year, when they ran a survey around mental health issues facing entrepreneurs under their initiative designed to support and help founders in New Zealand - Founders Central. They found some concerning stats. Most respondents had faced problems, and most of them had not sought help due to stigma, time or resource concerns. This is a problem that is perhaps built into the culture of the founder that goes further than the normal to win, but it is one that needs to be talked about. Very recently the local scene lost a wonderful man that many of us worked closely with and rode the rollercoaster of this life with, and that really hits home how hard this can be, and how when what we do is not ordinary we need to have extraordinary support in place. As part of highlighting this issue last year, BizDojo co-founder and Chief Entrepreneur Nick Shewring talked about his own experience in the context of his success and life, and how asking for help and being honest about the ups and downs is important.

A couple of months ago I had the good fortune of striking up a conversation while waiting in line to get into a conference. The guy that I was talking to was called Tommie Maharaj and he pointed my in the direction of Noa Woolloof as someone to have a podcast conversation with. That went well and Noa and I had a chat back in episode 52 of the podcast. Noa also told me that I needed to get Tommie on the show to share his inspiring story. Tommie and I managed to have a chat and create a podcast episode down at the BizDojo in Wellington last week. Tommie is a young guy full of passion and enthusiasm for life and for helping people. Whether that is through his role at Inspiring Stories, or as Founder of Millennials – the social enterprise recruitment agency helping young Kiwis, or just in his general day to day life. Tommie is also the survivor of a brain tumour and he graciously shared his experience of this with me. Going through this experience really cemented the three values that are important for him to live by. Tommie shared these in our chat. It's a vulnerable conversation with bits of levity, a lot of emotion and almost some tears from both Tommie and myself. We talk about staring and growing a movement, creating safe spaces to share, using your own challenges to help leverage others up, the dichotomy of trying something you're curious about and realising you're not into it and seeing things through to the end, building and inspiring the possibilities of young New Zealanders, and leaving a legacy he can be proud of.
