DESCRIPTION:\n	The word “innovation” pops up everywhere. It refers to everyt
 hing from technology to services to economic growth – but is innovation ju
 st about goods and services or does it depend on who we are\, our institut
 ions\, culture and education? To highlight the social context of innovatio
 n\, the CIPP and CIGI are organizing a one-day interdisciplinary workshop\
 , in association with McGill University’s Innovation Week. \n\n	Open to stu
 dents\, entrepreneurs\, policy-makers and community leaders we will explor
 e together the fundamental role that human structures\, attitudes\, skills
  and knowledge have in determining the impact of innovation. \n\n	​Our pane
 ls will examine how innovation is as much as social phenomenon as a techno
 logical one. The bias towards technology ignores the reality that many of 
 the most significant innovations are either not related to technology or a
 re only peripherally so. Great technologies that don’t meet social needs w
 ill fail\; important social changes can have substantial impact even witho
 ut technologies. \n\n	​Ultimately\, our event will explore what conditions 
 in society lead people not only to create but to turn those creations into
  innovations. Idea-driven goods and services pose new challenges for our s
 ocieties. As they disrupt conventional economic\, political\, and social s
 tructures\, they create tremendous uncertainty. How can countries maximize
  the benefits of innovation? How should society adapt technology to its ne
 ed? How do innovations transform us and our social interactions?  In all t
 hese questions\, we cannot forget the importance of the social to the succ
 ess or failure of innovation and the relationship between people and their
  innovations. \n\n	See the program\, meet the panelists and learn more at w
