Business success is not a one-off event or a single “eureka” moment. It’s a continuous, step-by-step process of becoming better every day. Incremental change is the surest route to the top; though others may skip the climb in favour of a helicopter, those who earn the summit tend to stay longest. Come along to hear entrepreneur Nigel Collin discuss the Game of Inches, your straightforward roadmap to no-nonsense, long-term business success.

Join Nicole Hatherly as she outlines the top five attributes of a Millennial Mindset, how to innovate for success working with multi generational workers, and how to embrace a world where Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants meet in our future workforce.

A bit about Boost Janine Allis is not your everyday self-made businesswoman. She grew her juice and smoothie empire in 2000 from her kitchen bench, to an international success story – with 500 stores in 13 countries (and counting), Boost Juice is a household name!
But her path has been anything but ordinary. “I’ve had no formal business training, just a simple common sense approach to business. I did not know what the traditional path looked like so I made it up along the way” she admits. Janine’s philosophy is simple – if she can do it, anyone can.

Presentation
Michele Levine was born with a passion for people and what makes them tick, social justice and an insatiable curiosity about life.
With over 30 years’ experience as a researcher, Michele has been responsible for thousands of surveys, including many of the largest research projects ever undertaken in Australia, many of which continue to play a critically important part in shaping our society today.
With a fundamental belief in the empowering value of information, Michele was instrumental in the development and refinement of Roy Morgan Single Source, the world’s leading consumer study (based on over 50,000 interviews a year) and, in 2010, the introduction of the Roy Morgan Business Survey.
Michele was ahead of her time in foreseeing the exponential growth of Big Data and, consequently the need for software (like ASTEROID) which can manage and order massive volumes of data – as well as the need for highly trained analysts who can help make sense of it.
