Welcome to UW-MANIAC!
What is UW-MANIAC? UW-MANIAC (Madison Area Network for Innovation & Collaboration) represents a network of continued collaborative learning and growth. This unique partnership includes a diverse group of UW-Madison departments and academic perspectives, as well as those from the private and non-profit sector. We host several events a year around a wide variety of topics, including the “Innovation and Collaboration Learning Café Series," a creative learning space that teaches creativity tools in an applied manner, a "Breakfast Series" in which members share inspiring ideas and creative approaches to work, and other opportunities to meet and share ideas, both through face-to-face conversation and virtual dialogue. Feel free to utilize this online community to share reflections, ask questions, incubate an idea, and re-connect with those friendly faces from the other events. For additional information, please contact Harry Webne-Behrman, UW Office of Human Resource Development, at 608-262-9934 or hwebnebehrman@ohr.wisc.edu.
The next MANIAC Breakfast focuses on "Planting a MANIAC Garden" with Erin Schneider.What are the core qualities required for creative, collaborative, group thinking and problem-solving? How might these unique characteristics be reflected in a garden, where various plants, fruits, and vegetables co-exist in a healthy, sustainable ecosystem? These are questions that engage the mind of Erin Schneider, an organic farmer and MANIAC Team Member. Join us as we explore the ways Erin has sought to answer these questions, and to consider how these ideas can inform our own efforts to 'plant innovation seeds' in our organizations. Register now!
These bi-monthly gatherings allow us to share creative approaches to professional challenges, identify new tools and strategies that can help us transform creative ideas into innovative solutions, and promote relationships that can help us address emerging needs as they arise.
