Secure Group Management Model
This document provides an overview of the Secure Group management model. It discusses the importance of strategy, leadership, and growth to the company's success. Key points:
- Secure Group uses the Balanced Scorecard approach to communicate strategy and align all work with strategic objectives. This creates strategic context rather than relying on control.
- The company has a culture code of 7 values like responsibility, innovation, and respect to ensure employees are aligned. Breaches can result in a corrective action plan.
- Leadership has 4 levels from managers focused on performance to visionary leaders who inspire change. All strive to support employee needs over controlling activities.
- Processes, knowledge sharing, and ensuring employee growth are emphasized
Responsible Project Management
Responsible Project Management is a concept that is overdue. Projects are the engines of change across the globe and project management has been at their heart for decades. Against the backdrop of a growing world population competing for increasingly scarce resources, projects consume, and frequently waste, environmental reserves and destroy social infrastructure on a vast scale. When projects fail, resources are wasted.
Sustainable development is a global priority, recognised by organisations such as the United Nations. Although a rising tide of nationalism around the world threatens international accords, perhaps the latest forecasts for a 1.5 degree rise in temperatures within 12 years will provide impetus for action.
Project strategy, objectives and success criteria may be defined by others but Project Managers must accept some responsibility for the impacts of a project. Project Managers already work across functions and have many of the skills needed to facilitate a dialogue about how a project might nurture communities and restore the natural environment.

PWC Report on the Future of Work:
PWC Report on the Future of Work: Disruptive innovations are creating new industries and business models, and destroying old ones. New technologies, data analytics and social networks are having a huge impact on how people communicate, collaborate and work. As generations collide, workforces become more diverse and people work longer; traditional career models may soon be a thing of the past. Many of the roles and job titles of tomorrow will be ones we’ve not even thought of yet.
The Future of Work
We spend a lot of time talking about how technology-driven innovation is defining the future of business. But how does that manifest itself in the workplace? In order to paint that picture, we asked a series of thought leaders and experts what they envision for the future of work. This presentation is a collection of their responses.

Failure to Connect: Why You're Not Getting More From SharePoint
Collaboration as we know it has changed dramatically over the years. It wasn't that long ago that we had to make a concerted effort to connect with one another; now that same effort is required to disconnect. So why do organizations continue to struggle to connect with employees, customers and partners?
Collaboration tools and technology are both numerous and sophisticated, but are we really better off? If we have the tools, the technology and the will, then why aren't we doing a better job with collaboration in our organizations?
In this session, we will tackle these questions and more, taking an in-depth look into why collaboration tools such as SharePoint fail to meet our expectations and what organizations can do today to forge new connections, become more productive, increase employee engagement, and build a lasting culture of collaboration.
CPA Congress Sydney 2015 - Day Two Wrap Up
Michael Blythe explored the economic opportunities and pressure points for Australia and other economies over the next five years. All forecasters expect continued Australian economic growth, though below average. Unemployment is peaking at just over 6%. The rise of middle income consumers in Asia is expected to reach 1.25 billion by 2020 and demand more goods and services. There is debate that potential GDP growth rates may be lower than the assumed 3.25%, which would mean less spare capacity and less need for policy stimulus.
2018 hr trends
Unemployment is at its lowest rate in 16 years, tightening the labor market and impacting pay increases. Millennials now make up a large portion of the workforce and expect work experiences and individualized career development. Companies are moving away from email communication to more immediate responses through social media and instant messaging. HR should explore non-traditional sources of talent like interns, consultants, and crowdsourcing to attract candidates in this competitive environment. Analytics and predictive data can help companies measure and react to trends to optimize employee productivity, engagement, and retention.
