Andrew Braun
General Manager of Marketing, Netwealth Investments
Although many people seem to think of innovation as bringing a new technology to market, innovation is not just about developing a shiny, new piece of technology. Innovation as a concept spans much further.
It is about catalysing a new method, product, process or idea. It is about finding new ways to connect with your clients, and re-imagined methods for managing your staff and your workflows. It’s also about creating ways to make sure you stand out from your competitors.
In this presentation, Andrew Braun, General Manager – Marketing of Netwealth Investments, discusses the 10 types of innovation and how they can be used in your practice today.

Can technology make us more human?
Simon Waller
Futurist, Author and Keynote Speaker
Founder, The Digital Champions Club
We are constantly being blindsided by technology. Activities that were previously considered the sole domain of humans such as driving vehicles and helping diagnose cancer are now being done (often more successfully) by machines. As the rate of technology-driven change continues to increase, a very legitimate question arises: what type of work will be left for us?
It turns out that the progress of technology is more predictable than we think and there are actions that we can take to improve our long-term relevance. Beyond that, we can also find ways to use technology to free our time from mundane tasks and invest in the uniquely human qualities that enrich our lives.
