Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The future of accounting in an AI-driven world
Q: From where you sit, what are the biggest forces changing the profession right now, and why do they matter for professionals' day-to-day work?
Major forces include broad AI adoption, cybersecurity threats, sustainability reporting, and ongoing digital transformation; these shift workflows, demand new skills, and redefine how professionals allocate their time to higher-value tasks.
Economic outlook for 2026: Australia and APAC
Q: What practical steps can firms take to navigate these disruptions and prepare for 2026?
Be nimble, adopt AI to streamline processes, stay aware of regulatory changes, and pursue productivity-enhancing reforms and investments that improve efficiency and competitiveness.
Economic outlook for 2026: Australia and APAC
Q: What should business leaders watch to gauge where rates and inflation might go next?
Watch inflation trends, labour-market signals, and policy responses; when demand pressures ease or reaccelerate, central banks adjust, so leaders should monitor inflation indicators, GDP, sentiment, and employment data as leading signals.
Economic outlook for 2026: Australia and APAC
Q: From your perspective, what phase is the Australian and Asia-Pacific economy in now, and what might the next phase entail for 2026?
The economy is being shaped by ongoing supply shocks and the need to improve productivity; inflation remains a concern due to supply constraints, and growth will depend on policy reform and the adoption of new technologies like AI to boost efficiency and reduce costs.
AQ for finance leaders
Q: What practical steps can listeners take this week to start building AQ?
Begin by adopting the balcony-dance floor approach—spend time both on strategic considerations and in the operational 'dance floor' to diagnose adaptive challenges, and deliberately create a productive disequilibrium by breaking routines and practicing curiosity rather than rushing to conclusions.
