Biography
Dr Stuart Morgan worked in the national high-performance system from 2005 until 2024, firstly with the Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS), then the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS). In that time, Stuart was responsible for developing various coach driven performance analysis technologies including ‘Pattern Plotter’ an application enabling hockey coaches to see how opposition teams entered the ball into scoring zones, ‘VisionKit’, one of the world’s first uses of computer vision in performance analysis, and ‘SPARTA 2’, Swimming Australia’s artificial intelligence (AI) driven competition analysis system. In his time at the AIS, Stuart also progressed the deployment of AI technologies across the national system, and initiated world first work in generative AI in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Machine Learning (AIML) and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). The work Stuart delivered required rapid innovation cycles, and this presentation will have Stuart reflecting his key lessons regarding innovation activities.
