About

Dr. Cori Stewart is a leading figure in the intersection of open innovation, design thinking, and advanced manufacturing, best known for her foundational work on innovation orchestration. Her research focuses on how design-led methodologies can structure and accelerate collaborative innovation ecosystems, particularly in robotics and manufacturing. Her most cited paper, "Designing an Open Innovation Orchestrator: the case of Australia’s Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Hub" (2019), has garnered 6 citations and serves as a seminal case study for practitioners and scholars alike. In this work, Stewart demonstrates how purposeful design workshops can transform academic stakeholders into effective innovation orchestrators, bridging the gap between research and industry. Beyond this publication, she is the founder and CEO of the ARM Hub, a real-world embodiment of her research—a physical platform that connects robotics researchers with manufacturers to solve complex production challenges. Her unique contribution lies in translating theoretical open innovation frameworks into actionable, design-driven strategies, making her a pivotal voice in Australia’s advanced manufacturing landscape.
