A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN
THE INDIGENOUS DIGITAL EXCELLENCE INITIATIVE
Australia’s First Peoples have been innovating for
more than 40,000 years. So what happens when
digital technology is embraced by the world’s
oldest living culture?
We believe the answer is
Indigenous Digital Excellence.

Even with a relatively high unemployment rate at the moment, it [is] still difficult to fill “highly skilled” roles in Australia at the moment. … Australia [is] becoming two very different labour markets—one which was highly skilled and one where technology was commoditising and marginalising the functions performed by the employee.

While we have seen automation replace some jobs in areas such as agriculture, mining and manufacturing, other areas where we are likely to see change are, for example, the health sector, which to date has remained largely untouched by technological change.

The diffusion of innovations [see
reference 1] serves as the basis for
this element. We acknowledge
that this may be somewhat
subjective and definitely
changes over time. For example,
at the time of writing ‘tablet
computing’ would probably
be considered ‘emerging’, yet
based on its adoption rate this
type of technology will likely be
considered ‘mainstream’ within
18 months to two years.

WHAT DOES IDX
LOOK LIKE?
So what, exactly, is IDX? How do we tell if something is IDX? What are we
working towards achieving?
We started exploring these questions through the IDEA Summit, as well as
through conversations with community3. As we dug deeper, we felt it would be
useful to assemble a wide set of examples of projects, initiatives and activities
that could be considered IDX and analyse them. From this foundation we were
able to develop a ‘working model’ of what IDX looks like in practice.
WHAT IS ‘DIGITAL EXCELLENCE’?
We first sought to define what ‘Digital Excellence’ might be, regardless of its
origin.
We propose that for something to be viewed as an expression/achievement of
Digital Excellence, it needs to be positioned ‘above the line’ in at least one of
the following two elements (i.e. more than As intended usage of a Mainstream
tool).
Usage
Is how the technology being used innovative in itself? Is it being used in a
way that is creative? i.e. even where the technology itself isn’t necessarily
innovative in its design, is the way something is used or engaged with still
an example of innovation? Has it been specifically adapted or customised
(especially to reflect an Indigenous perspective and/or culture)? Is the software
being used on a device (e.g. an app or website) newly created?
Device
How much innovation is there in the device itself? For an existing technology,
are they ‘cutting edge’ (e.g. Google Glass4 or 3D printing5), or ‘emerging’ and
being engaged by early adopters6 (e.g. Fitbit7 or similar ‘quantified self’ tools)?
Or is the technology being newly created (e.g. a new type of digital device)? Or
is it just an existing, mainstream tool (e.g. a laptop or smartphone)?
