Advisory Groups

Luminary’s work is grounded in collaboration, inclusivity, and the shared wisdom of leaders, scholars, and practitioners from across sectors and nations. To ensure that our programs, partnerships, and strategies remain relevant, and aligned with Indigenous priorities, we have established four Advisory Groups. Each brings a unique perspective and mandate, collectively shaping the path forward.

The purpose of the Luminary National Indigenous Innovation Advisory Circle, is to provide strategic guidance and culturally grounded perspectives to advance Luminary’s Indigenous Innovation agenda and the objectives in the Luminary SSF project. The Advisory Circle will support the development of inclusive, sustainable, and community-led innovation models and practices to advance the Indigenous innovation ecosystem with the Academic Community, Business Schools and the Indigenous Business community.

This circle brings together Indigenous academics, researchers, and emerging scholars who are shaping the future of Indigenous-led research. Members provide expertise on research ethics, Indigenous methodologies, curriculum development, and student engagement. They also help Luminary mentor and connect the next generation of Indigenous research talent, strengthening pathways from academic study to community impact.

The Working Group is dedicated to the design, implementation, and analysis of the Canadian Business School Indigenous Engagement Survey, the first of its kind in the country. Comprising business school deans, faculty, Indigenous scholars, and research specialists, the group ensures the survey is rigorous, culturally respectful, and actionable. Its work provides Luminary and its partners with critical data to track progress, identify gaps, and guide the Indigenization of business education in Canada.
