  1. Good AfternoonBy way of introduction my name is Rory Gregg, I'm a Partner within the Business Consulting Practice for Grant Thornton and am based in Sydney.Next slide
  2. Good AfternoonWe are a International Professional Services firm with offices in most capital cities within Australia.We have 120 partners and over 1500 professional services employees supporting our client across the full spectrum of Assurance, Tax and Advisory Services.More often than not we find ourselves working closely with the Board, the CEO and their executive leadership team to identify and overcome a broad range of complex problems they may face in leading their businesses.The past three years has seen unprecedented changes and realignment of the global economy. We've seen the dramatic shifts in the economic capital Eastward, whilst the West continues to recover from the sovereign debt crisis, Further more, the political instability in Syria combined with the uncertainty surrounding the future of a number of Australia's industries continues to weigh heavily on the minds of business leaders across Australia. Today I wanted to spend some time sharing with my some of the emerging tends and key challenges facing business leaders in Australia. I'd also like to share with you some of the strategies that we believe dynamic leaders should consider as they continue to navigate their way through these challenging and uncertain times….. Next slide
  3. The Global Dynamism Index is effectively a series of economic and business related performance indicators that analyses and measures the resilience of 50 diverse economiesThe index also ranks the capacity of these 50 economies to recover from a change in economic circumstances.The Index (published earlier this month) conducted by GT in collaboration with the Economist Intelligence Unit, the Worlds Bank, Thompsons Financial and UNESCO. 406 Senior Business leaders from the respective economies also play a pivotal role in providing the business perspectives.The Index ranks the 50 economies from 1 to 50 using a weighted index. Basically the higher the number the better the resultThe reason I've included the GDI results in todays presentation is because it provides an insight into how Australia, and more importantly Australian Business leaders are performing against other economies during these uncertain times.I hope that these results will also highlight to you some of the key areas that you as business leaders need to consider as Australia begins to take it's place in the new commercial order.So lets get straight into it……
  4. So just quickly let me take you through the key categories of performance areas.Business Environment performance indicators focus on…Foreign trade and exchange regimes and controls. These indicators focus on Policy, legal and regulatory riskAlso covers political stability Labour & Human Capital performance indications focus on….Focus on workforce productivity growthUnemployment School, life expectancy% of population under 30 years of ageScience and Technology performance indicators focus on ….Broadband subscribers per 100 inhabitantsGrowth of Broadband subscriptionR&D as a % of GDPTotal IT spending growthFinancing EnvironmentQuality of overall financial regulatory systemAccess to medium term capitalGrowth of value of inward M&A dealsPrivate sector credit and percentage of GDPInward direct investment growthCorporate Tax burdenEconomic GrowthReal GDP growthPrivate Consumption per headChange in value of stock market index
  5. Regional InsightsRegional SummaryNordic nations are most dynamic globally followed by North America, the G7 , Western Europe and Asia Pacific above average.Eastern Europe ranks just below Latin America and Growth 8Middle East & Africa rank lowestEmerging EconomiesThere is no doubt that growth prospects are healthier in emerging economies such as china, Latin America and IndiaOver the next 5 years the IMF expects emerging economies to grow at around 7% to 8% per annum compared to 3.2% in mature economiesDespite this, emerging economies still have their challenges for example the Indian government's battle with corruption, high inflation, and the declining value of the local currencyWe see some of these emerging economies tapering off as they begin to grapple with the changing environment, China's growth is slowing as debt begins to riseMature economiesThe 10 economies that sit at the top of the rankings vary significantly and include, countries from Asia pacific such as Australia, Singapore & Korea. A further five from Europe, being Austria, Germany, Finland, Sweden and Switzerland. The US from North America and Israel from the Middle east.

  13. Section - What Dynamic Organisations need to consider1.

Only half of mid-sized companies have plans to start or expand their connections2. According To Grant Thornton, on 3.4 per cent of small to medium sized enterprises export to China3. China is moving to be a much more consumption-based economy so they've got more of a need for services and technology and that's where a lot of the mid-market and SMEs have a good capability

  18. Despite the climate of uncertainty, Australian business (and their leaders) continue to perform.Recent results from the ABS suggest that growth of 3.7 for the Jun Quarter led by the mining, banking and healthcare sectors. Reinforcing the broad impact of our economic strength86% of ASX 200 were profitable in their most recent periodReal labour costs are trending upwards, rising 1.4% in the quarter, which is hardly surprising given a full employment scenario in an economy growing strongly.Australian Leaders should..Risk ManagementSpread their risk, and make smaller moves that can be easily completed in short time scales.Incremental PlanningAvoid maintaining the status quo however avoid embarking on any grand untested strategies and plansBe prepared to make frequent adjustments to your plans, and keep a watchful eye on both your clients and the marketTechnology Enabled Service DeliveryService Delivery should not be constrained by you technology or workforce capabilities.Flexible Workforce PlanningDiversified Workforce; leaders should working across a broader portfolios of responsibilities ( client and non client integration)Workforce Flexibility; Flexible not "casualised" workplace arrangementsWorkforce Reskilling; Reskilling the workforce especially aging workers to respond to changing needs.
