Much innovation at work\, by tradition\, arisen through workers’ ev eryday activities and interactions in response to occupational tasks and c hallenges (Hoyrup et al.\, 2012). Yet\, that process of innovation is both dependent on and interdependently is generative of learning (Billett\, 20 12). Hence\, innovation and learning co-occur through and at work. However \, the generation of innovations and learning are often viewed\, discussed and theorised separately\, despite evidence of their co-occurrence across human history (Epstein\, 1998\, 2005). This presentation draws on two inv estigations undertaken in small to medium size enterprises in Singapore an d how the processes of innovation were initiated\, supported\, enacted and evaluated\, and the reciprocal learning that arose. The first study condu cted in precision engineering and aged care identified the centrality of p roximal and local factors that afforded opportunities for workers to engag e in identifying and initiating innovations in these work settings (Billet t et al.\, 2021). The second investigation focused on seven small to mediu m size enterprises who produce goods and provided services and from across a range of industry sectors. Building on the findings from the first stud y\, it was possible to identify three distinct kinds of innovations (i.e. strategic\, work practice and procedural) that were being enacted in these workplaces and the distinct kinds of engagement and interactions associat ed with their initiation\, authorisation and enactment across these enterp rises. What these instantiations of innovations at work indicated is that there were distinct zones of potential development arising from these diff erent kinds of innovations and workers involvement and engagement in them (Billett et al.\, 2022).
