Technology - Innovation & Collaboration Newfoundland & Labrador Will JacobsExecutive Director ADIANL Date,,,,,, Willis Jacobs Aerospace & Defence Industry Association Newfoundland & Labrador
Aim • To highlight a series of observations related to the current and future state of technology innovation across Newfoundland and Labrador, and • Initiate a dialogue regarding innovation growth through collaboration
The Problem....the facts! • NL economy is largely defined & driven by non-renewables • Message detailing requirement for economic diversification is out there, .... NO Congruent Strategic Plan to achieve the Aim • Number of technology groups & associations: → individual agendas, • →individual strategies • We Connect...We Communicate... We Cooperate... but, We don’t Collaborate!!
The Promise • We are the problem • Message of requirement for economic diversification is out there • No congruent Strategic Plan • Individual groups-individual agendas • We Connect...We Communicate.. We Cooperate.. But, We don’t Collaborate!! Creating a Province of Choice

Cooperate vs Collaborate • We live in a world of Connections .... easy to connect • Deliberate connections = Networks • Networks grow to become Clusters • Networks&Clusters&Cooperationdo not imply Collaboration • More difficult to Collaborate
Why Collaborate “can’t do it alone”
Why Collaborate • - strength in numbers - • “size matters”
Why Collaborate survival!
From Networks to Collaboration Networking: Involves communication and information exchange for mutual benefit Coordinated Network: In addition to exchanging information, it involves aligning/altering activities so that more efficient results are achieved. Cooperation: Involves not only information exchange and adjustment of activities, but also sharing resources for achieving compatible goals. Collaboration: A process in which entities share information, resources and responsibilities to jointly plan, implement and evaluate a program of activities to achieve a common goal. Collaboration is always in view of an agreed result, objective or end state • Cooperation can be passive • Collaboration is always active
