As the global economy reels from the latest developments of the credit crisis, Australia can no longer rely on growth generated on the back of over-priced resources and cheap finance. CEDA is delighted to welcome Glen Boreham, Managing Director, IBM Australia & New Zealand, as a keynote speaker to the CEO Vision Series lectern. Glen Boreham looks at the potential for our nation to develop a new, sustainable economy based on a renewable resource: innovation.
In this future Australia, global resourcing, collaborative business models and social networking tools allow value to be created, rather than extracted. Mr Boreham will discuss the technological enablers of this future and the imperative for government and business to support future generations of Australians in developing the skills required to keep Australia competitive on the world stage.
CEDA’s CEO Vision Series aims to bring to the platform Australian leaders whose vision extends beyond their immediate organisation and continues into the broader national life. These recognised leaders, with diverse experience accrued throughout exceptional careers, are able to offer constructive ideas to foster Australia’s prosperity and development.
