I attended the Macquarie Bank 10,000 hours Business Forum yesterday. The
take aways for me were;
- 'Digital disruption' will only increase;
- Change management becoming more focused and a specialised need for successful businesses; and
- Innovation should be factored as a growth strategy.
The economic forecast summary was that:
- Business outlook would improve over next 6 to 12 months;
- Commercial investment market strengthening;
- Occupancies facing a broader upswing, but still a tenants' market;
- Lower interest rates are here for longer then initially expected;
- No signs of recession or downturn for 2015-2016;
- Brisbane residential to have moderate price growth over next 12 months;
- No housing bubble likely, especially when our banking standards and capital city house prices are compared to other comparable cities. Still playing catch up.
