In this compelling episode of the CanadianSME Small Business Podcast, we shift our lens to the forefront of innovation, spotlighting the Ontario Collaborative Innovation Platform (OCIP). This initiative is the brainchild of eCampusOntario and is swiftly becoming the cornerstone of a robust partnership between industry leaders and academic pioneers. Our special guest for this episode is Dr. Robert Luke, who offers a deep dive into OCIP's inception, its burgeoning impact on Ontario's innovation landscape, and the transformative ways it is redefining collaborations between private enterprises and scholarly institutions. Key Highlight Points: Dr. Luke outlines the genesis of the Ontario Collaborative Innovation Platform and eCampusOntario's commitment to fostering a synergistic environment that propels collaborative innovation. He shares a visionary outlook on how OCIP is poised to reshape the cooperative dynamics between the private sector and academic bodies, anticipating a ripple effect of growth and innovation over the next half-decade. Emphasizing the platform's focus on practical application, Dr. Luke discusses the mechanisms in place to ensure that the research projects under OCIP are precisely tuned to meet the dynamic needs of industry and academia alike. With OCIP serving as a stage for institutional talent, we explore how this exposure has already catalyzed significant innovations and fostered partnerships that push the boundaries of research and development. Dr. Luke explains the intricate process of funding facilitation within OCIP, highlighting the platform's dedication to transparency and equitable distribution of resources. The conversation touches on the strategies and tools that OCIP employs to bolster and broaden the networking web, fortifying the bedrock of collaboration and exchange of knowledge for future success. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Robert Luke for his enlightening perspectives on the Ontario Collaborative Innovation Platform. It's clear that OCIP is not just a conduit for collaboration but also a catalyst for a future where innovation thrives at the intersection of academia and industry. Our gratitude also goes out to our dedicated partners. A heartfelt thanks to RBC, UPS, and Xero, whose unwavering support makes these rich dialogues possible.

In September, the 10K crew went on location to the 2017 Ontario Universities’ Fair, to interview a dozen higher ed leaders about trends in innovation. Catherine Newell Kelly was appointed Registrar at the University of Waterloo just a month before this interview, after serving for two decades as Director of Waterloo’s Centre for Extended Learning, as well as stints as Executive Director of eCampus Ontario and President of CAUCE and OCULL. In this special bonus episode, edited to 7 minutes, Ken asks Cathy 3 key questions. Innovations at Waterloo? Cathy emphasizes Waterloo’s liberal intellectual property policies, and its roots in co-operative education, and its co-op program has grown to be the largest in Canada, with students earning $253 million a year. Waterloo is pushing the envelope to make experiential learning more flexible, like the EDGE experiential learning certificate program for non-co-op students. Waterloo’s Velocity is the largest free start-up incubator in the world. After 50 years in online learning, Waterloo is exploring Labster and Riipen to bring laboratory and co-op work experiences to online students. The Decade Ahead? Cathy predicts that university-business partnerships will become much more important, with the government’s emphasis on work-integrated learning. Transformative research, which changes what we know, will grow, and interdisciplinarity will continue to drive research and teaching. Universities will also need to enhance the flexibility of program delivery and structure for adult learners and working students. Culture of Innovation? Cathy believes that senior leadership has to foster a culture of entrepreneurship on campus, in which students, staff and faculty feel safe enough to take strategic risks.
