- People and Talent, Your Certainty During Unknown Times and Organising for The Future(CIO ANZ - November) When looking at the future, what do we do when every research and every evidence point to the same direction? And how do we prepare for the uncertainty that the future can bring? In an era where latest technologies and best of breed often take precedence to getting technologies that are fit for purpose, we come across period, where it’s more important than ever to not only define our needs with technology but also define what we need with our people and how we should invest in them. During this session we look at the journey that Nielsen have had in Australia, investing in people and creating a career pathway for every team member within team. At Nielsen there has been a tremen dous amount of effort invested in ensuring that team members get the opportunity to gauge their interest and work their way up in the organisation by finding what interests them and ultimately what makes them a successful Nielsen team member.

- Integrating and Digitising to Improve Social Impact(CIO ANZ - November) We are in the middle of a great upheaval driven by computing and digitisation. The pace of new technology advancements places organisations that are slow to respond on the back foot. Social sectors, whose core objective is to improve social impact, are facing challenges with: COVID Inflationary conditions Low workforce retention rates Sector skill shortages Aged applications Diminished funding steams The sector faces increasingly difficult circumstances with workforce members, who have become bound to administrative process, now having little time left for staff to focus on core organisational objectives. Today that story has reversed. Technology is viewed as a means to give time back to practitioners and in doing so focus on delivering on the outcomes we are working to achieve for the children, young people and families in our care. The technologies we are building are embedded in almost all aspects of our lives and has the potential to change society for the greater good. While we are all grappling with information and data, the need to create tech for good has magnified giving the social sector ample room for harnessing a positive impact.

Rather, today’s debate focuses more on how to optimise outcomes and deliver organisational value from a change that has already taken place.
