Overview

This submission presents six suggestions based on a review of five Industry sectors undertaken by Enterprising Partnerships in South Australia during 2003 – 2006.

1. Measure proposals against how well they build a policy and framework for “collaborative competency.”
2. Develop an explicit list of national priorities for industrial and research growth. The smaller the economy, the more important this is.
3. Measure all proposals against how well they promote access to global markets to SME, this includes the work down by large companies and universities on “global” solutions.
4. Modify the procurement procedures of the Government to encourage innovation and reduce the transaction cost between government and industry
5. Measure proposals against how they promote “risk leadership”. This looks at purposeful risk management and creativity, as opposed to risk aversion.
6. Engage industry and view its members as strategic partners, not just a supply chain.
