You can’t teach an old conveyancer new tricks – or can you????

cant-teach-old-dog-new-tricksConveyancers have experienced significant change over the past 4-5 years – at both a State and Federal level. It’s been exceptional and unfortunately more is to come.

We often speak about the differing generations and with the flourish of a brush stroke we paint the Boomers as unwilling to change and set in their ways. But, in the conveyancing world this is not so. Continue reading “You can’t teach an old conveyancer new tricks – or can you????”

Electronic Settlements – It’s like running a marathon

Top of my bucket list is to run a half marathon – 2018 is the year! Admittedly this goal has been at the top of my bucket list for some time – but I am great at putting it off.

Millennials and the emergence of the modern Association

Millennials

As the CEO of a Member based association in South Australia I am faced with the ongoing question of change; change to structure; change to membership; change in technology; change in communication; change in events; ongoing change.

Worryingly, some change also means decline – decline if we don’t change and potentially decline if we do. But where does the greater risk of decline rest?
