From Inputs to Impact: Why Australia's R&D Future Depends on an Outcomes Focus
For decades, Australia has punched above its weight in global research, generating approximately 3% of the world's new knowledge from just 0.3% of the global population.
Yet, as highlighted in the Ambitious Australia report, our research, development, and innovation (RD&I) system struggles to accurately measure how that knowledge translates into tangible, real-world benefits.
To secure our future prosperity and avoid a projected decline in living standards, we must fundamentally shift our focus from the inputs we feed into the system to the outcomes and impact we generate.
This podcast dives into the Disruptors Co perspective on the report.

Understanding the Diffusion of Innovation Theory
How do new ideas or technologies spread through societies?
The diffusion of innovation theory, developed by E.M. Rogers, explains this process from initial introduction to broad adoption.
It’s an essential theory that helps entrepreneurs, marketers and innovators map the key stages of technology adoption, understand how to reach the correct type of adopters, and factors influencing the speed of diffusion.
Key Takeaways
The Diffusion of Innovations Theory outlines five main elements—innovation, adopters, communication channels, time, and the social system—that influence how and at what rate new ideas spread.
Innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards represent distinct adopter categories, each playing a critical role in the diffusion process.
Factors such as relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability significantly impact the speed of innovation adoption, while cultural stigma and perceived risks often serve as barriers.
