Damien is a program manager at Hyper island with a discipline background from Manchester Metropolitan University, Damiens approach emphases the development and facilitation of learning journeys. Student interaction is vital for this process. He has developed a strong reliance on blended learning which usually involves ‘flipping the classroom’ or Problem-Based Learning.

With the impact of globalization and technological growth, companies are moving from being complicated, to truly complex. This has quite profound implications for companies wanting to innovate. No longer can we rely on a few knowledgeable individuals to drive innovation, instead, innovation is the responsibility of all.

The question that remains is, how do we do that…?
