Why disruption is good
for business

She said what?
"Worried that photo I'm about to have taken at a
tennis club may imply that I actually play tennis.
That would require hand eye co-ordination."
The tough economic and business
climate, while dispiriting to some,
has highlighted the resilience and
creativity of many businesses. It has
enabled many media companies to
make tough decisions, changes and
investments to position them better
for the future. It has been a period
of boom for technology and creativeindustry start-ups. Why? The perfect
storm of economic and structural
disruption has gone on unabated
as the media industry continues its
inexorable shift from print to digital
delivery. It has forced many of us
to make hard-headed choices and
challenge our traditional business
models.

Trust chairman, Michael Barnett, says
Auckland businesses can't afford to
judge people on their ethnic origin.
Mr Barnett says research from
Statistics NZ shows that over
100,000 people felt discriminated
against while at work, when working,
or while applying for a job or position.
Mr Barnett says within the next
five years about 50 per cent of
Auckland's population is predicted
to NOT be white European and
that means a changing face for the
workforce - be it health professionals,
accountants or the manufacturing
sector.
