An exclusive and intimate event, this year’s second Oracle Customer Advisory Council will be your opportunity to shape an innovation council of fellow senior executives and likeminded peers.
With limited spaces available, this is a forum for members to connect with fellow industry leaders, academics and technology experts to maximise the diversity of ideas and perspectives and ensure value and shared knowledge is delivered.
Amid economic and budgetary headwinds, changing regulations, cyber threats, the ongoing march of data and AI together with the perennial challenge of talent shortages, the innovation council is a guiding body that provides collaborative solutions to navigate these complex challenges and drive technological advancement in the digital landscape.
The Advisory Council consists of two summits in 2024. These Summits seek to capture in-depth insights into your biggest challenges.
These summits will explore issues such as:
‘Building a Future-Ready Culture to Drive Modernisation, Foster Innovation, and Achieve Digital Transformation Excellence’
Legacy mindsets, old ways of working and thinking are holding many organisations back, hindering Australia’s ability to improve its standing on the global innovation index.
While accelerating digital transformation and modernisation are critical to lifting Australia out of this innovation wilderness, it’s more important than ever to rethink organisational culture, leadership, and our people.
In this exclusive summit, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss amongst peers and guest speakers why now is the time to build a future-ready culture in your organisation.
As part of this discussion, Dr. Amantha Imber, organisational psychologist and founder of human development consultancy Inventium, will explore the critical role of habit psychology in driving cultural change around technology and AI adoption. Drawing from her experience working with ASX100 and Fortune 500 companies globally, along with insights from her bestselling book 'The Health Habit', Amantha will share strategies for rewiring people's habits to embrace the adoption of new technologies.
