  Date: 01/01/2017 How can we start the new year at Business Essentials without Professor Neville Norman’s economic outlook? As usual he places the context of what it all means to those of us in business. We invite John Di Natale to provide some thoughts and inspiration on how to prepare for a year ahead – and what to avoid. If your strategy for the future includes growth, why not grow by acquisition? Warren Otter reflects on his own experience of achieving faster and less risky growth from acquisition than from the slower organic path. Simon Waller returns to Business Essentials with advice on embracing digital champions in your workplace – he says your tech savvy staff can help steer your organisation to identifying digital solutions to grow your business. Technology is forever changing the way we do banking, as Fintechs become more pervasive in business. Luke Hally of Fintech start-up, DragonBill, examines the many services and products now available for business. A new on-demand app for business is Workfast, designed to offer a better and cheaper solution to temp agencies. Founder Tim Nieuwenhuis explains how Workfast was born through necessity. You have six months before the superannuation changes passed through Parliament become law, and Michael Jones explains what you can gain – or lose if you don’t plan for them. Elio D’Amato looks forward to a better sharemarket in 2017. And we close the program this month with Sonia McDonald’s take on leadership and how we can all be better leaders with the right mindset. |
