INTRODUCTION
The University of South Australia is pleased to announce the ongoing development of the Leadership Program in 2016.
Ongoing evaluation and research into best practice models across the sector has driven the following adaptions to the 2015
version of the program:
The ASPIRE Program will be absorbed by a new student recognition award program which will be launched in 2016.
The UNITE Program will continue with very similar content, but with sessions being moved from mostly weeknights to
full week-days and some week-ends.
The UNITE Live-In Camp will change focus from being workshop and training focused to an enterprise focused
planning and team-building event.
UNITE participants will have the option to bring their own Enterprise activity ideas and form groups to work on their
proposal. Depending on the proposal, groups may choose to align with Venture Catalyst, Community Connect,
ENACTUS or TEDx UniSA programs.
The LEAD Program will continue with a sharper focus on participants taking an active leadership role within the
programs listed above. LEAD participants will receive additional training and support in mentoring, coaching, project
management and facilitation.
Any student who feels they have sufficient Leadership experience, whether it be through participation in the UniSA
Leadership Program or another leadership or entrepreneurial focussed program, is strongly encouraged to apply for
the LEAD Program.

ENTERPRISE ACTIVITY
During the Live-In Camp session, UNITE participants will have the opportunity to present an idea for an Enterprise activity to
the rest of the group. Students will need to provide a brief of their idea before the camp and will be allocated 5 minutes to
present their pitch.
When all participants have presented their idea for an Enterprise activity, trainers will facilitate a networking session where
students have the opportunity to speak with others and negotiate to form Enterprise teams. Some participants will get to work
on their Enterprise idea; others may merge their idea with someone else’s, while the rest may need to abandon their idea
completely. There will be ongoing opportunities throughout the remainder of the Live-In Camp for Enterprise teams to shape
and plan their Enterprise activity. Participants may choose to change teams but must finalise their team by the Project
Management session.
Depending on the nature of the Enterprise ideas, there are several programs that students can align their activity with:
Develop an Enterprise
idea
Present your Enterprise
idea
Network your
Enterprise idea
Form an Enterprise
team
•Advance your idea
•Work with someone else's idea
Shape your Enterprise
activity
Venture Catalyst
•Idea for a startup, which Venture Catalyst defines as a product, service, or process that is both innovative and scalable.
•The business proposed must benefit South Australia’s economic development.

P a g e | 9
LEAD participants will have the opportunity to observe Enterprise team activity pitches at the end of the first day of the Live-in
Camp. The following morning LEAD students will introduce themselves to Enterprise teams, outlining the skills and attributes
they possess that may benefit certain Enterprise teams. Following this, a short selection process will take place which will
result in mentors being allocated to Enterprise teams. LEAD mentors will work with their Enterprise teams on Day 2 and 3 of
the Live-In Camp and also assist with group coaching following INSPIRE Seminars and during Innovation MasterClass sessions.
LEAD mentors will also stimulate conversation and reflection amongst UNITE participants through the chosen online portal.
Enterprise ideas may not necessarily fit in with the listed programs and other activities may still be considered, but final
approval for Enterprise activities will need to be sought from the UniSA Leadership and Volunteering team. Enterprise teams
may also need to recruit additional students to their activity and while these volunteers will not be an official part of the UNITE
program, they will receive recognition for their participation through other UniSA programs.
