ADVANCE QUEENSLAND

Last month I was delighted to provide a presentation to an Advance Queensland Forum on Financial Strategies for High Growth Enterprises. On this occasion I shared the stage with three other high-profile presenters including Dr Sarah Pearson, Innovation Lead and Deputy Director-General Innovation from the Department of State Development, Tourism and Innovation. The Q&A session that followed highlighted the diversity of Queensland’s innovation ecosystem and the positive outcomes that the Queensland Government’s Advance Queensland initiative is achieving for the State’s economic growth and future jobs.

In my talk, I shared strategic priorities and financial tactics for both scale-up and long-term success. During the life of a successful enterprise, there are periods when there is plenty of money around and periods when outside capital is needed. Great investments are those that increase the functionality of the team, help enhance a firm’s on-going territory, are rewarding big bets with acceptable risks and funding moves that deliver a cascade of positive outcomes.
