HUME ONLINE MODERN BUSINESS PROGRAM

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Earlier this year in May, we hosted a virtual business summit dedicated to supporting Hume City Council business resilience. The Hume Online Modern Business Program was a 3-part series held over three weeks. It involved a 1-hr introductory webinar on May 13th, a full-day summit on May 20th, and a pathways forward webinar on May 28th. All parts of this virtual event were recorded, so if you missed attending the event live, or wanted to go back and take another look, you may log in to your account and listen to each session again. We’ve also uploaded a few extra resources for your reference.

Why did we host an event like this?


In business, we strive to predict what the future holds so we can adjust our business models, processes, and teams accordingly. Yet few could have foreseen or planned for the impact of these interesting and disruptive times. We found ourselves in a volatile period, artfully balancing the mitigation of the immediate impact, protecting our staff and businesses, all whilst trying to strengthen our business resilience and preparing for the future.


While various forms of disruption can be found almost everywhere, there are common themes. Businesses will need to explore new ways of working, refine and adapt various aspects of their business model and most importantly at the core is optimism.


What can I get out of this event?

  

You will learn about digital technologies and how you can use them to adapt, refine and build a healthy and sustainable business. This event is for you whether you are a startup, scale-up or small to medium businesses in Hume City Council region. We will also highlight:
