Speaking at VANA the conference today

I am speaking at the VANA conference in Victoria today, offering an updated and edited version of my Newsagency of the Future presentation. It’s been interesting cutting a 2 hour workshop into the allotted 30 minutes. I have cut it right back to the meat, the call to action. This starts with the questions on the slide – click on the image to see the detail. These are vital questions we must answer for ourselves.

We are accountable for own future. We need to stop going cap in hand to suppliers. We need to stop expecting someone else to write and support a business plan for our business.  Our product suppliers will not provide us with our future.

    It was an excellent speech you gave. Very informative and inspiring.

    I especially loved the mango concept you introduced at the start of the presentation. Thank you Mark.

    Thanks Belle. I’ve used the mango example a few times with newsagents now. It seems to connect.
