acid­labs is the brain­child of Stephen Collins, where he writes about issues that inter­est him includ­ing organ­i­sa­tional change for the 21^st Cen­tury, col­lab­o­ra­tion and social busi­ness, open gov­ern­ment, inno­va­tion, big think­ing and Big Hairy Auda­cious Goals for soci­ety and the state of the universe.

acid­labs is an inno­va­tion and action col­lab­o­ra­tive — pow­ered by the enthu­si­asm and brain power of a group of peo­ple focussed on being present to the world we live in and pre­pared to act to bring about new ideas and projects. The col­lab­o­ra­tors behind acid­labs work across a num­ber of dis­ci­plines, con­nect­ing the dots, pol­li­nat­ing each oth­ers’ ideas with actions and com­bin­ing and recom­bin­ing the ideas that grow from their work and most impor­tantly, bring­ing peo­ple together, like a great big Mec­cano set to pro­duce inter­est­ing and excit­ing projects that enrich our (and hope­fully oth­ers’) lives.

acid­labs helps to run events like TEDx­Can­berra and Bar­Camp Can­berra, but is likely to take on all sorts of windmill-​​tilting so long as it inspires us with action, social inno­va­tion and bet­ter­ness of society.
