SeminarOverview

The Faculty of Business and Economics invites you to attend a special instalment of the Creating Future Leaders Series, featuring The Hon John Brumby, who will share his insights into the major challenges and opportunities for businesses today.

Strong leadership – whether in government, business, or the community – requires a clear understanding of the massive changes that are currently transforming our world.  As the centre of global economic gravity shifts eastward; as the advance of technology opens up previously unthought of possibilities; and as the world responds to the threat of climate change, Mr Brumby will draw on his extensive experience in both government and business to examine the challenges and opportunities of a world in transition.

Since retiring from politics, Mr Brumby has accepted a number of Board positions as well as a joint appointment to both the Melbourne and Monash Universities as a Vice‑Chancellor’s Professorial Fellow.  He is Chairman of the Motor Trades Association of Australia (MTAA) Superannuation Fund and an Independent Director of Huawei Technologies (Australia) Pty Limited.  Mr Brumby is also a Panel Member of the Federal Government’s Review into GST Distribution which is examining the distribution of GST funds to the States and Territories.

In addition, Mr Brumby is a Member of the Business and Economics (B&E) Board, Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Melbourne and an Associate of the Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute, also at the University of Melbourne.  Mr Brumby is also the Chairman of Trustees of the Joe Welch Bursary Trust and an active member of the Fred Hollows Foundation.
