TODAY'S EVENT:
Jenny Atkinson will talk about why large organisations can’t afford to operate as a bureaucracy anymore and how her startup Little Scribe took three years of R&D before an official launch.
She’ll also share business insight about how to tackle a climate of heightened psychological stress and why you might need to re-badge to meet customers exactly where they’re at right now.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Jenny Atkinson’s career has spanned property, corporate business management and launching her own management company. Her entrepreneurial streak started at 15 in country NSW, when she started teaching kids to swim.
In 2017, Jenny received the Jobs NSW Innovation Grant, which was the catalyst for establishing what is now Littlescribe. In addition, Littlescribe was recognised in the Westpac 200 Businesses of Tomorrow (2018) and accepted in the 2019 Telstra Innovation Labs muru-D Program.
Littlescribe operates in Australia and New Zealand, primarily in schools, but also via not for profit organisations. It works to transform the writing of primary and high school children into digital and printed books and other items, such as calendars and cards. Individual students can work online with established writers to co-author a book which they can then print and share. There are also 350 curriculum-connected writing activities for students, from kindergarten to year 10.
