Creating a Blueprint for Resilience and Transformation in Innovative Learning Environment Management and Support
Dr Janet Buchan, Director, Centre for innovation, Teaching Excellence and Leadership, Lourdes Hill College, Brisbane, QLD

Introduction of innovative learning environments can be linked to transformative learning and institutional objectives with pressure to demonstrate value for investment.
This interactive workshop introduces the Blueprint for Resilience, which is a resilience approach to implementing and managing the use of new learning spaces and innovative learning environments. Resilience is about understanding and engaging with a changing world. The workshop will introduce participants to a variety of tools that can be used to plan and devise systems that can absorb and accommodate future events in whatever unexpected form they take. These include: frameworks for understanding the transformability of education systems, the learning environments management checklists and identifying desired resilience features.
The workshop is of interest to a variety of stakeholders: leaders, educators, architects, designers and facilities managers who have an interest in maximising the use of innovative learning environments. The generic principles and tools have application more broadly to organisational management.
