How Can Multinationals Partner with Our First Nations People? At the age of 17 Isaiah Dawe, a Butchulla and Gawara saltwater man, received a text from his foster carer telling him he was no longer able to live with them. This was the beginning of a remarkable journey that led to the formation of ID Know Yourself, the first Aboriginal led organisation delivering 1:1 mentoring and support coordination to Aboriginal children and young people in contact with the Out of Home Care and Juvenile Justice system in New South Wales. This session, falling between Reconciliation and NAIDOC weeks, is an opportunity to explore the ways in which the Indigenous Community is dealing with the systemic challenges confronting them and how the multinational community can play a role. Isaiah believes that “it doesn’t matter what you know, what matters is what you do” and the purpose of ID Know Yourselves is to break the cycle of intergenerational trauma and disadvantage by establishing belonging, discovering purpose and empowering positive choices. We’ll hear Isaiah’s story and have the opportunity to discuss what we need to be talking about, recognising and doing next? ID Know Yourselves was nominated as a for purpose partner by Baker McKenzie.

How to be a kickass boss without losing your humanity... that was the focus of Kim Scott’s groundbreaking research in her NYT best-selling book Radical Candor. Well-meaning people become bad bosses without even realizing it, destroying innovation, stifling growth, increasing costs, and creating instability, according to Kim Scott, former executive at Google, Apple and Twitter and best-selling author of Radical Candor. Great bosses on the other hand establish a subtle balance of both care and challenge when working with others, avoiding the scourge of ‘ruinous empathy’ and ‘obnoxious aggression’. Kim will be joining us to explain how organisations around the world have shifted their culture to embrace the principle of ‘radical candor’. She will also be unpacking her latest research from her soon to be released second book Just Work: Get Sh*t Done, Fast & Fair, providing a practical framework for both respecting individuality and collaborating effectively.

EY Chief Economist Jo Masters joins us to discuss new research looking into how the Australian economy performed during COVID. In addition to mortality and economic growth, the economic composite digs deeper into the underlying fundamentals of the economy (balance sheets). From understanding where we are we will look at what this economic performance means for the budget and in particular, what a multinational leader in Australia requires to articulate the story they need to tell head office as to why Australia is an attractive market to operate and invest in. Jo will explore how policies need to evolve, what the economy needs and sets the context for what comes in the following week’s Federal Budget?

How to Lead in an Uncharted World We are addicted to prediction, desperate for certainty about the future. But the complexity of modern life won’t provide that; experts in forecasting are reluctant to look more than 400 days out. History doesn’t repeat itself and even genetics won’t tell you everything you want to know. Ineradicable uncertainty is now a fact of life. How does one lead in such an uncharted world? This is precisely what distinguished businesswomen, Bath University Professor and best-selling author Margaret Heffernan set out to determine based on examples throughout history of leaders that have succeeded despite the complexity and ambiguity of the environments they were operating in. Please join us for this highly practical exploration of how to lead when the future is not clear by embracing uncertainty and experimentation to discover new possibilities and options.

Indistractability: The ultimate high-performance hack. In a world of increasing distraction and abundant information one of the scarcest resources is our attention. As such it has become a major competitive advantage to stay focused on what really matters. However, if it were easy to do so, everyone would have done it already. Technology gets much of the blame with endless “pings and dings” from the multitude of devices always surrounding us. Fortunately, technology can also be part of the solution according to Stanford University fellow Nir Eyal. As revealed in his New York Times best-selling book Indistractability the practices of the ‘indistractable’ are within reach of us all. The first step is understanding the root causes of our distraction and then learning to channel those deep drives to a more positive outcome. Please join us for this practical exploration of how you can individually and collectively achieve higher levels of performance by embracing the habits of the indistractable.

Trust - How to Build it and why it matters. With so much uncertainty, misinformation and turmoil in the world, the subject of Trust is particularly relevant. In their recently published Edelman Trust Barometer, they found that “trust is built on two key drivers: competence and ethical behaviour.” In Australia, no institution is seen as both competent and ethical. Business was viewed as the only competent institution, holding a 56-point edge over government. NGOs are seen as the only ethical institution leading by 21 points over business. Government and media are viewed as neither competent nor ethical. “ At this session we’ll discuss the attributes of Trust, what erodes it and how to build it. Susan will be joined by Adam Jacobs, founder of Hatch talent management platform and founder of the Iconic. Adam will share his experiences about the importance of Trust in Brand and potential employees' expectations of an organisation.

Australian Competition and Consumer Commission Chair, Rod Sims, joins us to outline the ACCC’s current priorities and discuss the role of the Commission in shaping business behaviour as Government stimulus winds down. The Commission’s primary responsibility is to ensure that individuals and businesses comply with Australian competition, fair trading, and consumer protection laws - in particular the Competition and Consumer Act 2010. Given the disruption the economy has endured over the last 12 months and the forecasted uneven pace of recovery, it can be anticipated that the Commission will be involved in an even more diverse range of activities.
