On 30 September, we hosted the launch of the 2025 Digital Future of Work Report at the Westin in Brisbane. This event, supported by Australian Retirement Trust, brought together business, industry and technology leaders to discuss how Queensland businesses, along with their workforces, customers and communities, are navigating technological change.

Some of the top takeaways from our expert panelists were:

• Inaction on new technologies like AI can present a greater business risk than those posed by adoption.
• Capitalising on technology isn’t just about implementing the right tools, it requires strategy, leadership, and a culture of continuous learning.
• It’s not too late to start. You can go from being ‘left behind’ to ‘leading’ in your industry by being curious, building skills and adopting a growth mindset.

Thank you to our panelists for sharing your valuable insights and expertise – Professor Michael Rosemann, Director of the Centre for Future Enterprise at QUT, Fahim Khondakar, Partner for Digital at BDO, Brett Lightfoot, General Manager for Queensland at Microsoft, and Patrick Twomey, General Manager of Commercial Relationships from Australian Retirement Trust.

This research and event series is designed to help businesses anticipate change, adapt with agility, and lead with confidence in a digitally driven economy.
