Our chat with Giam Swiegers – Non-Executive Director of Aurecon
In our latest Coffee Conversation segment, Steve Healey catches up with Non-Executive Director (NED) of Aurecon, and a member of the Australian Design Council, Mr. Giam Swiegers.
Their virtual chat covers Giam’s views of the lack of manufacturing in Australia and the role of the Australian Design Council to overcome this challenge. More broadly, Giam also questions whether organisations will stay agile and utilise technology to stay up to date and make prompt decisions, as they have been forced to do over the past 6 months, or fall back into doing things ‘the way they’ve always been done’.
"Good leaders take organisations where they ought to go, not where they want to go."
Reflecting on his vast experience in the professional services sector, Giam provides his comment on the topic of the modern workplace – and the delicate balance between creativity versus productivity that organisations need to take into consideration when deciding on what the future workplace looks like.
GIAM SWIEGERS - DRINK OF CHOICE:
Double espresso
