My keynote on the theme of Leading during Digital Disruption, for the CAUL Conference in Melbourne in April 2017. CAUL is the Council of Australian University Librarians.

laptop during a lecture score
lower on a test compared to
those who do not multitask
• Students spend most of their
laptop time in class on
diversionary activities
• Students who were in direct view
of a multitasking peer scored
lower on a test compared to
those who were not
• Students who use laptops to take
notes in class learn less than
students who used pen
• Traditional lecture methods are
30% less effective than active
learning methods

The big banks worldwide will
compete for the best data
scientists. We’ll be left to fight for
the rest
We have to make things easier
