My story: A tale of two industries
Can you pick the media CEO?
Does this look like change?
Change is at the heart of every CEO’s role in 2009
How do we respond?How do we initiate and manage change?
“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”

What today’s CEOneeds to be
skills you must learn to drive change and transformation in your organisation
1Definer
“Investing is work. It is not gambling, or wishing and hoping, or trying to get the inside dope: it is work; a second job. Nevertheless with the right kind of support, you can do it and you can beat the pros. Eureka Report is the beginning of an attempt to provide that support and to redress the balance - to give ordinary people the tools and the knowledge to become independent and reclaim the control - and the money! – that is rightfully theirs.”
Alan KohlerCEO, AIBM
2Cheerleader
“We’re going where no one has gone before. There’s no model to follow, nothing to copy. That is what makes this so exciting.”
Richard BransonChairman,
Virgin Group

7Decision Maker
“You can't build a strong corporation with a lot of committees and a board that has to be consulted every turn. You have to be able to make decisions on your own.”
8Team Player

Steve VamosFormer CEO
Microsoft Australia
9Innovator
“Any entrepreneur who has put technological innovation on the backburner through this recession, watch out. There are young switched on people like this all over the country ready to eat away at your patch. And chances are you won't even see them coming until it's too late.”
