Are you interested in what's on the other side? Discover how Australian professionals feel about the coming decade. Explore the collision of eight megatrends that collectively will define Australia politically, economically, environmentally, regionally, socially, trustworthily, knowledgably, scientifically and technologically over the coming decade. Australia 2030! is based on ground-breaking new research from over 673 professionals including 170 CEOs and Board Directors. It analyses questions we are all searching for answers to that were forced upon through COVID-19, such as what do we believe - who, what, how and where the bloody hell are we? Which road do we take? And what is on the other side anyway? It's often said that hindsight is 2020. So, as the third decade of the new millennium kicked off, Rocky Scopelliti put that wisdom to the test. What is clear from the Australia 2030 research is that Australian professionals overwhelmingly believe that individual citizens have the greatest role to play in making the world, and Australia a better place over the coming 10 years. This book will inspire you to decide which road to take to create the social, cultural, economic and technological future you desire. Regardless of the road you do take, it encourages you to be a driver on it, rather than simply a passenger.
