We’ll look at the different aspects of managing and leading change like that will help us to better future proof, and empower your leaders and teams to navigate and thrive in an ever-evolving landscape.

The age of AI - is your business ready? (Part 1)
AI is not going to change the world; it already is. Statistics show up to 40% of roles could be impacted in today’s workforce, while on the flip side McKinsey Global Institute states AI could generate an additional 13 trillion in the global economy by 2030. Businesses that leverage AI will be able to process data and make decisions faster, offer their customers increased personalisation, and reduce their operating costs. But is AI at the top of businesses' agenda, a part of their strategy? Are businesses already working to harness this new technology enough? Do they understand how to evaluate and act to integrate AI into their business?
Join us in this episode, where we explore exactly what AI can already do and what it is forecasted to do and hear some real-world examples of what businesses are and are not doing in the race to be ready.
Guests : Andy Cooper Avid Researcher, User and Speaker on AI, Ryan Ashton Social Commentator, Fractional CRO and Justin Kabbani Expert AI Coach & Consultant and former Advertising CEO

Does your organisation lack community?
In the space of Business Agility much is said about culture, but culture can be hard to define, shape and nurture - what if we started with something more basic - something that we’ve been doing for thousands of years but seem to have forgotten?
In this episode we’ll be chatting with Beth Gervase, Business Agility Lead at ANZ on the importance of Community in organisations, why it’s vital for creating resilience in your organisations, what leaders need to be thinking about, and what each of us can do now to start building community.
