Welcome
ADC Forum is a wholly Australian, non-political, not-for-profit leadership organisation which brings together leaders from business, government, the public sector, academia and the broader community to improve their understanding of key issues affecting Australia.
The theme for the ADC Leadership Retreat 2011 was On the edge – confidence in the face of fragility. The report documents responses by public, private and academic leaders to the uncertainty and volatility exerting profound change across the globe.
The ADC Future Summit 2011 was held at the Melbourne Hyatt on May 30-31. The Future Summit Report, Rethinking Australia - Securing our Nation, documents a range of though-provoking insights and constructive ideas for the nation from the two days of keynote addresses, panel discussions and workshops.
The Australia Report 2011 is now available. The Australia Report 2011: Risks and Opportunities is the second report in a series of reports in risk analysis for Australia as it addresses the risks and opportunities facing the nation over the next decade, acknowledging their interconnectedness. The report was written by ADC in collaboration with KPMG and looks at the business risks and opportunities facing Australia over the next decade across the economic, political, environmental, societal and technological boundaries.
Building Resilience was the theme of the ADC Leadership Retreat 2010. The Report summarises some intriguing conversations held on Hayman Island around resilience - the capacity of communities, institutions and systems to absorb change while continuing to function and improve.
The ADC Cities Report: Enhancing Liveability was released in late 2010 - Report part 1 / Report part 2. There is no magic plan for the perfect city. Although modern design and technology are two important ingredients, cities will flourish by creating opportunity through their own narratives while working with their history, location and population to improve liveability. We trust you will find this report engaging.
