Why Diversity, why now?
08 March 2016
One of the big challenges facing organizations today is getting all employees, from the CEO to the hourly workers, to realize that to become the best, they have to embrace diversity.
Diversity is about empowering people. It makes an organization effective by capitalizing on all of the strengths of each employee.
Diversity also means to create inclusion — creating an atmosphere in which all people feel valued, respected and have the same opportunities as others.

AUGUST 2015
Australia’s prosperity is more connected than ever to developments in the global economy. Our trade with the world is equivalent to 42% of our GDP – a number that has not dropped below 25% since 1900.
The stock of foreign investment in Australia is at record highs of A$2.8 trillion, while Australia’s investments around the world total A$2.0 trillion (2014).

Rohini Kappadath

Rohini Kappadath
If there is one lesson that we can learn from Modi's victory in the recent Indian elections, it is that in this digitally connected flat world even the mightiest can become irrelevant within a relatively short space of time.

Do the names Kodak, Borders and Blackberry still ring a bell?
