Thought Leaders Conference - Sydney, 10-11 December 2009
The annual Thought Leaders conference, which is usually held in January or February, has been brought forward to December this year. This is a great event for business leaders, experts and the innovators within both public and private sector enterprise. I may even be presenting a table topic via webinar from Perth!

The importance of Foresight
I received an interesting email from Anita Kelleher from Designer Futures. She was passing on two quotes she had come across:
“Thought this group might be interested in some comments suggesting an awakening in big business - a realisation that Foresight is needed for organisations to realise their potential in the 21st century:
John Trotter (Deloittes) in Collier International publication:
"risk management didn't work for the GFC - the systems and processes didn't pick up change early enough..... we'll now be incorporating scenario planning into future frameworks. A lot of companies are saying we need to be more cognisant of risks by doing Scenario Planning"
same publication; Craig Bingham, CEO, Asia Pacific, Aviva Investors
"the need for Australian companies to reinvent themselves and invest in innovation is sharpened by a profound change in the world economy"”
