hank you and welcome to the November 2016 edition of Modern
Business Magazine, Australia’s premier business lifestyle magazine.
We have put together another packed edition of Modern Business Magazine
with contributions from some of Australia and New Zealand’s most respected
business minds - plus selected international contributors. Modern Business
Magazine contains special features, information, tips and advice on how to
supercharge your business and your life.
Many people will offer opinions on how to innovate more effectively, but few
actually base this advice on any sound evidence. As is often the case, the
voice of popular culture and fad-ridden management books wins out over
the voice of scientific research. So Amantha Imber takes a look into making
innovation practical.

Overwhelming evidence shows that the climate is changing and warming
at an unprecedented rate. The way we consume non-renewable products
and services such as petrol from fossil fuels, and our addiction to materials
such as concrete is contributing to creating a climate that will, within only
a few decades, significantly impact the way we live and expose many of
our income producing assets and infrastructure. Adaptive Risk Assessment
expert David McEwen investigates what business ca do to adapt and change
before it’s too late.
