Latest Episode: Merlin Kong
Innovation has traditionally been seen by many organisations as something that happens by senior people within a board room, but Merlin Kong, the former Director of InnovAgeing believes that anyone can become an innovator if given the opportunity to think, and a platform to share their ideas.
In this episode of The Business of Ageing, we discuss how innovation should be viewed as a cultural mindset within every organisation, and that aged care providers and government regulators need to build more “slack” into the sector’s workforce to give employees the opportunity to stop and think, rather than just running around, putting out fires.

In this episode of The Business of Ageing we discuss sensory-enhancing design, co-generational living and other models of seniors housing that are transforming the concept of what “home” can mean as we age.
