Demographer Mark McCrindle’s Convention Closing Keynote may inspire you to reshape your business
Did you know that only 1 in 10 Australians use public transport to get to work and more people walk than catch a bus?!
What’s more, the average Australian car drives 14,000 kilometres every year, meaning Australians, with more that 13 million vehicles combined, drive 182 billion kilometres annually – that’s to Pluto and back 20 times per year!
And more than half of households (54 percent) have at least two cars. In fact, there are almost as many passenger vehicles as there are adults in Australia.
The times are changing faster than ever – technologically, demographically, socially and economically. In the ongoing quest for relevance it is crucial that businesses and leaders observe the changes, understand the shifts and respond to trends.
Dealing with change and its implications is one of the most important and demanding parts of any business, according to Mark McCrindle.
