The New Age of Business Networking & Forums

Hamish Duff is passionate about technology and the opportunities it brings to business. He has over 20 years of industry experience and is qualified in both industry and technology management.

When he partners with an organisation to update their system to meet current digital standards his success rate is through the roof. This is lightyears ahead of the 86% of companies that fail in their digital transformation worldwide.

What does Hamish do differently? He understands that the key to updating a company to digital systems doesn’t exclusively lay in the system itself – the people using it need to be on board. While this seems obvious, the failure to do so it is the key reason that companies are struggling to get there in their digital journeys.

There is a good chance you work or own a company that is struggling too; come along for some (basically) free advice from the guy who is doing the work every day.

Carl Pavletich has been quoted as saying that a Fab City is defined as being “locally productive but globally connected”.

Consider if we could carry this concept through to our company culture how much stronger we would be as businesses. Carl has been the founder of many ventures all involving collaboration with other connected groups.

He will explore the Fab lab concept of joining “Fab” cities around the world with the aim of eventually becoming self-sufficient and sharing code to 3D print everything we need.

Selling code or “weightless export” rather then physical objects is ideally suited to New Zealand’s geographical location.

Be fascinated by the advancements in technology and see how your own ventures can take advantage of joining the Fab Lab movement!
