This event is to be followed by The New Economy Forum, What leaders need to know to survive and thrive on Wednesday August 21, 2013 - Melbourne and Sydney.


Net Balance and the 3 Pillars Network would like to invite you to join us for a stimulating and thought-provoking exploration of the new economy and what it means for Australian business.
The global financial crisis and its continuing aftershocks have prompted many observers to query the fundamental structures and systems of our economy. Stakeholders from customers to staff are exerting pressure on organisations to broaden how they measure value creation to embrace social and environmental dimensions. Investors too are starting to alter the lens through which they analyse businesses.

To help understand these shifts and what they mean for business, Net Balance is delighted to host Natalie Nicholles from nef (New Economics Foundation). Based in the United Kingdom, nef has been exploring and designing the landscape of the new economy for over 25 years. Natalie leads nef’s consulting arm, and specialises in organisational strategy and triple bottom line cost benefit analysis. She brings a diverse business background, from working for a FTSE 100 company to a leading international health NGO. She is an accredited Social Return on Investment practitioner.

Natalie will give us an overview of nef’s work in developing new economic models, analysing financial systems and advocating for sustainable business practices. We will then open up to a panel discussion with two local business leaders:

Mike Murray is the Victorian General Manager of GoGet, a car sharing business that has taken off since it was launched in 2002. Providing an attractive alternative to car ownership that also delivers social and environmental benefits, GoGet is an example of the kind of disruptive business model that could take a leading role in shaping the new economy.

Toby Kent is Head of Corporate Sustainability at ANZ. For a cornerstone of the financial system, the new economy holds far-reaching implications for both banks and the business clients they support.
