18: Con Georgiou - Optimize Your Personal & Organisational Innovation

The Life:Optimised Show

Con Georgiou, aside from being a highly successful entrepreneur and leader in the startup space, is one of the most genuine, authentic and inspiring people I've ever met. On this episode, Con and I discuss the nature and culture of innovation in business - all the way from startups to global corporations. We also talk about what an attitude and mindset of innovation, alongside the concept of "flow", means for your personal and professional development at an individual level, and what that actually means in optimizing your business, leadership and life at large. Constantine (Con) Georgiou is passionate about Social Physics, the integration of the human condition with technology and how it can be best utilised to drive Group Flow and Innovation. He has a behavioural sciences background and over 20 years experience in the technology industry, culminating in his successful innovation consultancy, Velteo Pty Ltd. He believes that innovation is everyone’s birthright and that together Australia can increase its economic prosperity. He is now the CEO and co-founder of One Million Acts of Innovation Australia (OMAoI). OMAoI is a not-for-profit national incubator aiming to help Australia become a world leader in innovation. Through Open Innovation Journey's, challenges and events, OMAoI will establish a home grown culture of co-creation, safety and inclusion for all citizens and organisations, enabling them to lead from their current position and innovate the future together.
