The kin8 Network
Exceptional individuals from leading companies and cutting-edge fields want to work on business and social improvement projects outside of their day jobs. We recruit these individuals into our exclusive network, and provide them opportunities to collaborate on innovation and commercialisation challenges with client organisations.
“Diversity is more than just a moral responsibility. It’s fundamental to the success of our teams. Each team member brings their unique perspective and expertise to the team, widening the range of possible outcomes. If you want a breakthrough idea, you’re more likely to get it with a diverse team.”
– IBM’s Design Thinking Principles.
What We Do
Through our exclusive network, kin8 clients get access to high quality, flexible resources that would otherwise be unreachable. This rich, cross industry knowledge base means we are uniquely placed to help organisations:
Innovate
The most valuable new ideas are born at the intersection of diverse perspectives. Without broad knowledge to fuel the innovation process, solutions for tomorrow risk being limited to incremental improvements of today.
Access diverse knowledge to fuel your innovation projects.
Collaborate with real-world executives from diverse industries to help you develop higher value products, services, programs and customer experiences.
Case Study
Haworth have been designing and manufacturing adaptable workspaces in exclusive buildings around the world.
We brought together a team of diverse executives to complete a study on the flexible work markets in Perth and Melbourne. We developed a comprehensive market report to inform the business case for launching new flexible work spaces, and we generated service and customer experience recommendations that fed into the design of these new amenities.

Commercialise
Entities with non commercial foundations such as universities and not for profit organisations are under increasing pressure to establish direct income streams and become less reliant on government and grant funding.
Access business knowledge to commercialisation your value.
Leverage real-world commercial expertise to uncover market opportunities and help translate your knowledge and capability into value adding products and services.
Case Study
After ten years of research, The University of Queensland released the BeUpstanding toolkit to help Australians stand up, sit less and move more at work.
We brought together a team of diverse executives to explore commercialisation opportunities for the BeUpstanding program. We developed a commercialisation strategy for developing products from the research, and continue to work with the University of Queensland team to implement it.
