The Business Of
AGSM | UNSW Business School
As the pace of organisational change speeds up, a new generation of leaders is emerging who see the world differently.

Host Dr Juliet Bourke, a UNSW Professor of Practice in the School of Management and Governance, speaks with leaders from a range o...
From cash to clicks – How technology is changing financial transactions
"Do you have cash?" It's a question that's becoming increasingly rare in 2025. Nowadays, many of us prefer the convenience of digital wallets over physical cards, not to mention banknotes and coins. According to Richard Holden, an economist and UNSW Scientia Professor, we're moving towards a "functionally cashless" society, with the costs associated with carrying cash on the rise. But what does this shift mean for businesses? And how can we ensure a smooth transition that doesn't leave anyone

Building Banish – How Lottie Dalziel turned a New Years resolution into a sustainability startup
In 2018, Lottie Dalziel scribbled down a New Year's resolution: Do better for the planet. Unlike most of us, she actually followed through. Frustrated by the lack of practical and authentic eco-friendly products on the market, Lottie decided she’d take matters into her own hands. While most startups take years to refine their product, test the market, and strategise their launch, Lottie built Banish – a marketplace and education platform focused on environmental responsibi

What’s the story? How to create a compelling brand narrative
Apple doesn’t sell computers. It sells creativity. Or maybe it’s more accurate to say people don’t buy computers, they buy the story a company tells about them – that they’re creative, clever, responsible, or anything else that might matter. Shane Currey, the founder of PRIME Collective Australia, learned this while working in the luxury brand space – without a powerful story behind a brand name, a laptop is just a laptop. So

Culture and data – What sets the Sydney Swans apart on and off the field
Game days start hours before the opening siren for Sydney Swans’ COO Drew Arthurson. His game prep usually includes hosting corporate events. And sometimes making coffee for the players.

Elite performance is what everyone at the Sydney Swans strives for, regardless of their role. Drew explains the key leadership pri

Understanding Gen Z – How this start up is engaging a new generation of consumers
How can brands connect with the next generation of consumers? It's a question on the minds of many, especially in a bustling online marketplace. Yet, only a few have cracked the code. While most organisations have jumped on social media in a bid to attract young consumers, what they haven’t done – according to Sam Koslowski, co-founder of youth media brand The Daily Aus – is taken the time to truly understand their audience.

Balancing act – How successful leaders blend creativity with commercial realities
Would you describe yourself as a right-brained or left-brained thinker? We’ve been conditioned to believe you’re either one or the other. And while we all know a math genius who couldn’t hold a paintbrush if they tried and some creative geniuses who’d be lost in the simplest of spreadsheets, we can all develop both our creative and logical abilities.

Future skills – The know-how you need for the next era of business
What will you need to know – or know how to do – to succeed in business over the next ten years? A decade ago, the answer would have been to up-skill in tech. According to Lee Hickin, the AI Technology and Policy Lead for Microsoft in Australia, the advances we've seen in the last decade mean that “technology is not this thing that happens as a segment of a business, it’s actually how a business runs today.” And mitigating the risks and impact of climate change is the new frontier.

Katrina McPhee is in the superannuation industry for the long haul now, but that wasn’t always the case. She’s currently the Chief of Staff at Aware Super, one of Australia’s largest superannuation funds, but when she first entered the industry, she wasn’t interested in sticking around in a field not exactly known for its desire to shake things up.

Slow success – what this fintech startup can teach you about building trust
Tech start-ups have been the darlings of business media in recent years, and for good reason: new technology is exciting and flashy, and tech entrepreneurs tend to share pithy catchphrases about grinding, hustling, or “moving fast and breaking things.” But what happens when a start-up needs to slow down? In the case of the investment app Pearler, speed was never the ultimate goal. Co-founder Hayden Smith thinks veering away from that traditional startup mentality has been key to building rel

The battle to halt climate change is impacting most aspects of our day to day lives – right down to the cars we drive.
