Strategic Innovation Lab

Strategic Innovation Lab (sLab)(external link) is a centre of excellence for design research, innovation and strategic foresight, affiliated with the Faculty of Design at Ontario College of Art & Design University (OCADU)(external link). sLab integrates academic research, professional services, curriculum and skills development for stakeholders in the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors. We are a growing community of researchers and practitioners, design and business professionals, teachers and students, who are passionate about envisioning possible futures.

Our work investigates the intersections of human behaviour, new technologies and organizational capacities. We develop and apply strategic foresight, design research, visualization and prototyping methodologies in order to clarify and feed the front end of the innovation process. From our base within Canada’s largest and oldest university of art and design, we combine deep experience in imaginative and visual thinking with skills in interdisciplinary collaboration, business analysis and strategic planning.
