In a dramatic shift in online discourse, discussions surrounding the so-called "AI bubble" have surged by nearly 200% on the social media platform X during October 2025, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company. This surge reflects growing apprehension among influencers about the sustainability of enormous investments in artificial intelligence and the potential for a collapse reminiscent of past economic bubbles.
" ["fulltext"]=> string(3597) "The heightened discussions have been captured by GlobalData’s Social Media Analytics Platform, which reveals that influencers are increasingly worried about the gap between the technological promise of AI and the financial realities facing the industry. Shreyasee Majumder, a Social Media Analyst at GlobalData, noted, "Influencers opine that the AI industry is at a critical juncture, marked by a conflict between technological promise and financial reality. They frequently draw parallels with past bubbles and opine that a more careful approach to investment is essential. Their collective sentiment suggests that balancing innovation with sound financial strategies is the only way to mitigate the risks."
The concerns are not unfounded, as several prominent voices in the investment community have weighed in on the issue. Edward Dowd, Founding Partner at Phinance Technologies, expressed his scepticism about the current state of the AI industry. "The AI bubble has reached comical heights of absurdity. Revenues are non-existent compared to capex requirements. The industry, to keep the illusion alive, is doing circular deals where fantastical capital amounts are announced to be funded somehow in the future. To make matters worse the projected power and water usage assumptions to facilitate this 'future' insanity are not practical nor will they fly politically," Dowd remarked.
Despite these concerns, some investors see opportunity in the current market dynamics. Daniel Niles, Founder of Niles Investment Management, shared his strategy to capitalise on the rising market. "Right now I am positioned for the market to head to new highs before the holidays and the goal is to catch as much of this inflating AI bubble as possible. As Mae West said, 'Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!' In an interview on Friday, I said 'Unfortunately the market is going to keep melting higher,' and I wanted to expand on that statement. I said unfortunately because the higher the AI bubble takes stock valuations, the more painful the decline is going to be ultimately for investors on the other side," Niles explained.
The debate over whether the AI industry is experiencing a bubble or a boom continues to divide opinion. Christopher Mims, a technology columnist for the Wall Street Journal, offered a stark warning about the potential risks. "The AI bubble will continue to inflate, and will reach a scale few can comprehend. This increases the downside risk that will follow in the wake of it popping," Mims cautioned.
On the other hand, some industry insiders remain optimistic about the future of AI. Austin Lieberman, Founder of Growth Curve Investment Research, argued that the current situation represents an AI boom rather than a bubble. "Why I Just Bought the AI Bubble Bottom line is I think it’s an AI Boom, not an AI Bubble. A lot of people are comparing this to the .com bubble which was clearly a bubble in hindsight. While I do agree that there are some excessively valued individual stocks (there always are), this is NOT the same as the .com bubble for several reasons," Lieberman stated.
The contrasting perspectives highlight the uncertainty and complexity surrounding the AI industry's future. As investments continue to pour into AI technologies, the debate over their long-term viability and potential risks is likely to intensify. Influencers and investors alike will be closely monitoring developments in this rapidly evolving sector, seeking to navigate the fine line between innovation and financial prudence.

the federal government to increase support for small businesses after the House of Representatives voted against a proposed amendment to the Payday Super legislation that would have given employers an additional 18 months to comply with new payment requirements.
" ["fulltext"]=> string(2874) "Ian Boyd, GoCardless General Manager ANZ, said the vote means all Australian employers will be required to meet the new obligations from 1 July 2026.
“The vote against the proposed 18-month extension for small businesses to comply with Payday Super legislation means that new requirements will impact all Australian employers from July 1 2026,” Mr Boyd said.
“This is welcome news for workers nationwide. That said, there is an acknowledged increased burden on small business cash flow, and as such, we’d like to see an increase in support for small businesses as we make the transition.”
Mr Boyd said the additional compliance costs come at a time when small businesses are already under significant financial pressure.
“Australia’s 2.7 million small businesses represent 98 per cent of all businesses in the country, and they are currently bleeding money,” he said.
“Our latest data shows that 17 per cent of Australian small-to-medium businesses now lose over $2,500 per month to late payments, up 55 per cent from 2024. One in five SMBs spends six to 12 full working days a year just chasing overdue invoices. The situation has become so dire that 10 per cent of SMBs have considered closing permanently due to payment delays alone.”
Mr Boyd warned that late payments continue to create a “domino effect” across the economy, amplifying the risks faced by businesses already in “survival mode”.
“The scale of the issue is now at a crisis point. It’s a domino effect because if an SMB is getting paid late, it has a knock-on effect for the entire supply chain,” he said.
“When small businesses are already in survival mode, dealing with delayed payments, additional monthly commitments compound the pressure on their cash flow.”
Mr Boyd said policies aimed at strengthening payment systems should focus on both outflows and inflows for small businesses.
“We need to be mindful not to exacerbate the problem of money leaving businesses faster than ever, without putting in measures that improve the rate at which money comes in the door,” he said.
“This is key to ensuring our local industries can continue to make new hires and grow.”
GoCardless data shows that 17 per cent of SMB owners and decision-makers believe that if customers paid on time, they could hire more staff.
A further 11 per cent said they could increase wages, while nearly one in four said timely payments would allow them to invest in new services or business expansion.
“Supporting small businesses to succeed isn’t just good for them, it’s essential for Australia’s productivity and innovation,” Mr Boyd said.
“SMBs are the backbone of our economy, and they deserve policy that helps them thrive, not just survive.”

The initiative, set to take place over two weekends in November, aims to help Australians declutter their homes and make some extra money in the process.
" ["fulltext"]=> string(4205) "According to the 2025 PayPal Circular Economy Research Report, a staggering 89% of Australians have unused items at home that they could sell. These items range from furniture and fashion to books and collectibles, all of which could find new life in someone else's home. The report highlights a growing trend among Australians to embrace second-hand shopping and selling, a movement that not only benefits the pocket but also the planet.
A Nation Overwhelmed by Clutter
Australia's clutter problem is significant, with three-quarters of Aussies (76%) admitting they have had a 'junk room' or clutter zone at some point, and more than half (57%) still having one. This clutter is not just a physical burden but a mental one as well, with 95% of Australians acknowledging that a cluttered living space causes them stress. In fact, 94% believe that a good declutter is beneficial, whether for their home, mental health, or both.
Barbara Gill, General Manager of Garage Sale Trail, emphasised the dual benefits of decluttering, stating, "Garage Sale Trail is all about turning clutter into opportunity. With cost-of-living pressures high, there’s never been a better time for Australians to cash in on the things they no longer need, connect with their community, and give pre-loved items a new life. It’s good for the planet and great for the pocket."
Last year's Garage Sale Trail events saw participation from over 300,000 Australians, extending the life of 418 tonnes of goods and preventing them from ending up in landfill. This year, the event aims to replicate and exceed those numbers as more Australians become aware of the financial and environmental benefits of second-hand shopping.
The Rise of Second-Hand Shopping
The PayPal report sheds light on Australians' growing love for second-hand shopping, with more than half (58%) purchasing something second-hand in the past year. The trend is becoming mainstream, with 73% of Australians agreeing that buying pre-loved or vintage items is now a common practice. Popular categories for second-hand purchases include books, DVDs, CDs, and vinyl (42%), furniture (38%), and clothes and fashion items (38%), followed by homewares (29%) and collectibles (27%).
Interestingly, Millennials (91%) and Gen Z (90%) are the most active second-hand shoppers, followed by Gen X (80%) and Boomers (73%). Cost remains a primary motivator for these purchases, with 57% of Australians opting for affordable options over high-end brands and 39% buying more second-hand goods to manage rising living costs. However, sustainability is also a significant factor, with three-quarters (76%) of Aussies agreeing that there is too much waste and that everyone should do more to resell and reuse.
Safer, Smarter, and More Sustainable Shopping
The advent of digital payment solutions has made second-hand shopping safer and more convenient. Over half of Australians (57%) report feeling safer buying second-hand when PayPal is an option, thanks to its trusted security and buyer protection features. Additionally, PayPal QR Codes allow for fast, cash-free, and secure payments, making transactions at the Garage Sale Trail event even more seamless.
Australians are motivated to declutter for various reasons, including the desire to feel happier and more positive (62%), experience a sense of accomplishment (58%), and feel relieved or less stressed (53%). Meanwhile, the top reasons for buying second-hand include saving money (64%), managing cost-of-living pressures (40%), saving 50% or more compared to the price of new items (37%), giving products a new life (37%), living more sustainably (32%), and accessing higher quality items at a lower cost (30%).
The 2025 Garage Sale Trail events will be held nationwide over two weekends – November 8-9 and 15-16 – providing households, schools, and community groups the opportunity to sell pre-loved items, meet their neighbours, and support local sustainability efforts.

four‑year high and policy makers signalling a controlled easing in labour conditions, markets are again pricing the possibility of an RBA cut before year‑end. Beyond the headlines, the strategic question for executives is clear: how do you pull forward value if funding costs fall while growth stays fragile? Drawing on RBA guidance, ABS data and Budget papers, this analysis maps the transmission from a potential cut to cash flow, capex, FX exposure and competitive positioning—and where early movers can win.
" ["fulltext"]=> string(8079) "The key implication: a further modest decline in funding costs is back on the table. For CFOs and boards, that means a near‑term window to refinance, re‑sequence capex and selectively pursue M&A—provided you manage demand softness from a cooling jobs market.
Where the cycle stands
Australia’s unemployment rate has lifted to its highest level since late 2021, reviving expectations of an additional Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cut as early as November, according to market commentary. This aligns with the RBA’s own earlier guidance that the labour market would “continue to ease at a gradual pace but will stabilise following the pick‑up in GDP growth” (Statement on Monetary Policy, August 2024). The growth side is tepid but positive: national accounts show quarterly GDP expanding by around 0.6 per cent with annual growth near 1.8 per cent, driven in part by domestic demand (Australian Bureau of Statistics).
Policy context matters. Budget Papers for 2025–26 note that the Board reduced the cash rate in February, signalling a shift to a more supportive stance as inflation pressures abated and real wages began to recover. The RBA reiterated in February 2025 that “the unemployment rate will increase a little further” before easing back as growth improves (Statement on Monetary Policy, February 2025). In short: the central bank expected slack to emerge; the latest labour data suggests that slack is now material enough to keep easing on the agenda.
Transmission to the P&L: what 25 basis points really buys
Australian corporate funding structures are unusually sensitive to the cash rate because of high floating‑rate exposure and shorter debt maturities across bank facilities. As a simple rule of thumb, every 25 basis point cut reduces annual interest expense by about $250,000 for each $100 million of floating‑rate debt. For interest‑intensive sectors—property, infrastructure services, discretionary retail, leveraged roll‑ups—the earnings leverage is immediate.
The consumer side is more nuanced. Lower rates ease mortgage burdens in a predominantly variable‑rate market, supporting disposable income. But a rising unemployment rate is a drag on confidence and spending. Budget 2025–26 notes real wages are growing again, which helps, but not enough to fully offset job uncertainty. Net effect: expect mixed demand—resilient for staples, promotional for discretionary, and project‑by‑project for B2B.
Currency is the other lever. An earlier‑than‑expected cut typically leans against the Australian dollar, aiding exporters and international education but lifting input costs for import‑reliant sectors. This FX beta argues for dynamic hedging policies around inventory and capex commitments.
Competitive advantage playbook: act before spreads compress
Rate expectations travel ahead of board decisions. Early adopters can lock in advantage while credit spreads remain elastic:
- Refinance and term out: Bring forward issuance or bank facility renegotiations before a broad repricing tightens spreads. Blend floating into fixed where it aligns with revenue duration.
- Selective M&A: Lower WACC modestly widens accretion on targets with stable cash flow. Look for assets that struggled to refinance in 2024–25; price discipline still rules.
- Capex sequencing: Advance high‑IRR, short‑payback projects that were marginal at higher rates—particularly automation and energy efficiency retrofits.
- Inventory and procurement: Use improving working capital costs to secure strategic stock and renegotiate supplier terms.
This is not a blanket growth signal. It’s a window for surgical moves that exploit the spread between your balance sheet agility and competitors still waiting for formal announcements.
Operational reality: labour and technology strategy must meet macro
Workforce planning needs a cyclical and structural lens. The RBA’s gradual‑easing narrative implies slack without a hard landing. That creates room to re‑shape capability, not just cut costs. Evidence from skills programs shows higher labour force participation and a modest reduction in unemployment when training pathways scale; this underpins the ROI case for targeted upskilling through TAFE partnerships in frontline and technical roles.
On technology, Australia’s AI ecosystem is still heavier on adoption than invention, with a notable commercialisation gap (National AI Centre analysis, 2025). A lower discount rate improves the economics of multi‑year AI deployments—especially where use cases compress cycle times or reduce error rates in finance, claims, and logistics. The Australian Taxation Office’s governance work underscores the need for controls when deploying general‑purpose AI; treat model risk like vendor and cyber risk with clear accountability, testing, and human‑in‑the‑loop design.
Translation: use any easing in funding costs to underwrite automation that demonstrably lifts throughput or service levels within 12–24 months, but bring risk functions in early.
Sector lenses: who benefits, who needs a hedge
- Housing and construction: Rate relief supports pre‑sales and mortgage serviceability, but labour softness can slow approvals and buyer confidence. Builders should lock input prices where possible and stagger starts to demand signals.
- Discretionary retail: Lower repayments help, yet the jobs pulse matters more. Expect bifurcation—value formats gain share while premium holds only with strong brand equity.
- Exporters and tourism: A softer AUD on a surprise cut boosts competitiveness; hedge selectively to avoid windfall reversals.
- Financials: Net interest margins may compress at the edges; counter with fee income and risk‑weighted asset optimisation. Credit quality hinges on the speed of labour market stabilisation.
Scenario planning: three paths and their triggers
Base case: One additional 25 bp cut by year‑end, then a pause. Rationale: labour market easing but stabilising, inflation trending within tolerance. Signals to watch: monthly CPI indicator, wage price index, job vacancies, and household spending trackers.
Downside: Two cuts by Q1 if unemployment accelerates and consumption stalls. Play: lean into refinancing, defend cash, prioritise cost‑out and short‑cycle capex with fast payback.
Upside (no cut): Sticky services inflation or a re‑acceleration in housing forces a hold. Play: keep variable‑to‑fixed hedges in place; delay discretionary capex and protect pricing power.
As one market note put it on 16 October 2025, “the stability of the labour market lends further credence” to a measured easing path—translation: the RBA will move only as the data allows.
Board agenda: actions for the next 90 days
- Run a 25–50 bp rate sensitivity across earnings, covenants and capex hurdle rates; pre‑approve a refinancing and issuance plan.
- Update FX and commodity hedging against a weaker AUD scenario; align with procurement calendars.
- Sequence two AI/automation projects with 12–18 month payback; embed governance standards drawn from ATO practice.
- Deploy targeted workforce programs with TAFE partners to mitigate skill bottlenecks and support utilisation if demand softens.
- Refresh M&A pipeline; model synergies under a slightly lower WACC and stress‑test downside demand.
If a cut arrives by November, it won’t be a tide that lifts all boats—but it will reward balance sheets that are ready to move first.

Entrepreneurial Growth" ["alias"]=> string(73) "new-business-boom-australia-s-top-ten-suburbs-lead-entrepreneurial-growth" ["introtext"]=> string(449) "Australia's entrepreneurial landscape is witnessing a remarkable transformation, with the latest data from the Lawpath New Business Index highlighting a significant surge in new business registrations across both metropolitan and regional centres in September 2025. This surge underscores a robust growth trajectory in the small business sector, with several key postcodes demonstrating double-digit increases in entrepreneurial activities.
" ["fulltext"]=> string(3949) "Among the top performers are Point Cook (VIC 3030), Parramatta (NSW 2150), and Liverpool (NSW 2170), which are leading the charge in new business creation. These suburbs, along with Werribee (VIC 3030), Melbourne CBD (VIC 3000), Newcastle (NSW 2300), Toowoomba (QLD 4350), Dandenong (VIC 3175), Blacktown (NSW 2148), and Rockingham (WA 6168), together accounted for over 5,500 new business registrations in September alone. This impressive figure highlights the burgeoning strength of Australia's suburban and regional economies.
The Lawpath Index attributes this entrepreneurial boom to a confluence of factors, including affordability, infrastructure investment, and cultural diversity. Suburbs and regional hubs such as Werribee, Point Cook, and Newcastle are increasingly becoming attractive entry points for entrepreneurs who are priced out of central business district (CBD) locations. The continued migration and population growth in these areas are driving demand for a wide range of services, from healthcare and construction to hospitality and education.
Demographic trends are also playing a pivotal role in this entrepreneurial surge. Notably, entrepreneurs aged 18–24 have shown the fastest growth, with a remarkable 44% increase year-on-year. This signals a significant influx of younger founders into the market, eager to make their mark. Meanwhile, the 30–34 and 40–44 age brackets have also seen substantial growth, with increases of 29% and 32% respectively. This indicates that both early-career professionals and mid-career Australians are actively contributing to the small business boom.
The multicultural nature of Australia's startup landscape is further evidenced by the diverse backgrounds of new business owners. India-born and Pakistan-born founders have recorded year-on-year growth of 27% and 35% respectively, while New Zealand and Vietnam-born founders have seen impressive increases of 72% and 37%. Australian-born founders continue to play a significant role, making up around 35% of all new business owners. This diversity reflects the dynamic and inclusive nature of Australia’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
"Entrepreneurship in Australia is decentralising," said Tom Willis, CMO and co-founder of Lawpath. "The next generation of business founders is emerging from communities like Werribee, Newcastle, and Parramatta: places that combine opportunity, affordability, and connection."
The rise in entrepreneurial activity is not confined to traditional business hubs but is spreading across the nation, fuelled by the unique advantages offered by suburban and regional areas. These areas provide a fertile ground for startups, with lower operating costs and a supportive community environment that fosters innovation and growth.
The Lawpath New Business Index, which tracks ABN, ACN, and GST registrations nationwide, serves as a valuable barometer of entrepreneurial activity across Australia. It highlights the evolving nature of the business landscape and the shifting dynamics that are propelling growth in unexpected areas.
As Australia continues to embrace its multicultural identity and leverages the strengths of its diverse population, the small business sector is poised for further expansion. The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well, driven by a new generation of founders who are reshaping the economic landscape of the nation.
With ongoing infrastructure investments and a focus on fostering inclusive growth, Australia is well-positioned to maintain its momentum in the small business sector. The emerging trends highlighted by the Lawpath Index offer a glimpse into the future of entrepreneurship in Australia, where opportunity and innovation know no bounds.

Australian regulators are tightening governance around AI while customer attention concentrates on dominant platforms, raising the execution bar for every client‑facing role. Here’s the operator’s playbook to replace friction with flywheel.
" ["fulltext"]=> string(8300) "Implication first: your behaviours—not your brand—set your ceiling. In client-facing sectors like real estate and professional services, the most expensive line on the P&L is invisible: missed follow‑ups, deputised prospecting, and change aversion that leaves technology and channels under‑utilised. These micro‑habits quietly tax revenue, inflate acquisition costs and erode market share. Conversely, top performers codify three assets—systems, accountability and stability—and let them compound.
1) The commercial cost of career friction
Think in unit economics. Every lead has an embedded CAC and LTV, whether you run a boutique agency or a national franchise. When agents avoid prospecting or delegate live calls to assistants, conversion collapses at the most value‑dense moment: intent. Real Estate Business’ ongoing coverage signals stronger audience engagement—“more people, viewing your listings for longer”—yet many teams fail to translate attention into appointments, because the behaviours that create velocity (fast follow‑up, consistent contact, direct ownership of critical conversations) are precisely the ones most often avoided.
This isn’t theoretical. Paid media teams document similar failure modes. A 2025 analysis of common PPC pitfalls highlights 13 self‑inflicted traps—from weak measurement to inconsistent experimentation—that cap growth despite higher traffic volume. Different channel, same pattern: execution debt compounds faster than budget increases.
2) A taxonomy of self‑sabotage (and how to disarm it)
Use a simple operator’s lens—Pipeline, Cadence, Craft, and Courage:
- Pipeline: Data avoidance. CRM fields incomplete, next actions unclear, lead sources untagged. Fix with a “no orphan records” policy and daily zero-inbox for CRM tasks.
- Cadence: Inconsistent prospecting. Replace ad‑hoc hustle with protected call blocks, weekly OKRs, and public scoreboards.
- Craft: Delegating the hard parts. Assistants can prepare; they shouldn’t negotiate. Create “no‑delegation zones” for first calls, pricing, and objection handling.
- Courage: Change aversion. New scripts, channels or tools stall in pilot purgatory. Use time‑boxed experiments with pre‑agreed success criteria.
The habit loop (cue–routine–reward) is your design tool. Tie prospecting cues to calendar blocks, reduce friction with pre‑built call lists and scripts, and reward consistency with immediate lead routing to the agent who did the work. Systems make the right behaviour the easy behaviour.
3) Systems beat heroics: the operating model of top performers
High performers don’t rely on motivation; they institutionalise momentum. Three structural levers:
- Accountability architecture: Weekly WIP with lead-stage dashboards visible to the team. Conversion reviewed by stage (contacted, qualified, proposal, won) with owners named.
- Process capital: Standardised playbooks for First Response, Discovery, and Follow‑Up. Response‑time SLAs (e.g., under five minutes for inbound enquiries) cut opportunity decay.
- Stability loops: Fixed prospecting windows, quarterly territory reviews, and capacity planning prevent feast‑and‑famine cycles.
In Australia’s attention economy, distribution concentration magnifies the stakes. The ACCC notes Google held nearly 94 per cent of general search in August 2024, with Bing at 4.7 per cent. Your discovery surface is narrow, so execution on the few dominant platforms—search, maps, and marketplaces—must be flawless. Sloppy listing metadata or slow lead responses aren’t quirks; they’re revenue leaks in a near‑monopoly distribution system.
4) AI as a force multiplier—if you build guardrails first
AI can remove drudgery (transcription, note‑taking, summarising open homes, drafting follow‑ups) and elevate craft (intent classification, lead scoring, call‑coaching). But without governance, it becomes another self‑sabotaging shortcut—outsourcing judgment, hallucinating facts, or mishandling client data.
Regulators are explicit about the gap. ASIC’s Report REP 798 (October 2024) cautions that governance arrangements are lagging the pace of AI innovation and that Australia’s AI regulatory landscape is evolving. The ATO distinguishes general‑purpose AI from narrower tools and has set internal governance to manage risk—useful direction for any business deploying AI in frontline workflows. And the National AI Centre’s programming around Australia’s AI Month 2024 underscores the skills uplift imperative.
Technical brass tacks for operators:
- Data minimisation: Strip PII from prompts; use organisation‑scoped models where possible.
- Human‑in‑the‑loop: AI drafts, humans edit—especially for pricing, legal terms, or sensitive client updates.
- Auditability: Log prompts and outputs; store decisions alongside source data. Treat prompts like code.
- Model fitness: Use intent classifiers for triage, not for final qualification; deploy speech analytics for coaching, not for performance policing.
AI should accelerate your best behaviours, not excuse their absence.
5) Culture: the unseen accelerator (or brake)
Toxic micro‑cultures normalise avoidance and blame. As leadership author Shola Richards puts it, “This behaviour is never okay and cannot be tolerated.” Psychological safety isn’t softness; it’s an enabling condition for disciplined experimentation—essential when piloting new channels or AI workflows. Leaders should reward the right process even when outcomes lag, and confront corrosive behaviours fast. In practice: celebrate documented tests, not just wins; make “no‑delegation zones” a team norm; remove star billers who poison the cadence.
6) Case notes: where operators turn friction into a flywheel
Real Estate Business coverage of Australian franchise networks, including Harcourts, consistently spotlights two themes behind sustained lifts in listing engagement: documented systems and visible accountability. On-platform behaviour—more people viewing listings for longer—creates optionality, but only the teams that pair responsiveness SLAs with disciplined follow‑up convert attention into market share. The lesson generalises beyond property: in any performance channel, audience growth without operating discipline delivers vanity metrics, not revenue.
7) Implementation reality: a 90‑day turnaround plan
Week 1–2: Baseline. Export pipeline by stage; measure response times, follow‑up depth, and meeting‑set rates. Identify orphaned leads and data gaps. Define the “no‑delegation zones”.
Week 3–6: Systemise. Stand up a single source of truth in CRM with mandatory fields. Launch daily prospecting blocks with pre‑built call lists. Implement response‑time SLAs and a public scoreboard. Introduce AI for transcription and summarisation with data‑handling guidelines.
Week 7–12: Optimise. Run two time‑boxed experiments (e.g., new script, SMS nudge, or retargeting creative) with pre‑set success criteria. Add quality checks (call listening, message reviews). Start a monthly governance review aligned to ASIC’s emerging expectations: risk register for AI use, prompt logging, access controls.
8) Outlook: the next 12–24 months
Three macro trends will reward disciplined operators: a) distribution concentration persists, so findable and fast beats flashy; b) AI becomes table stakes for admin and analysis, but regulated guardrails will punish sloppy deployments; c) talent markets reward craft—direct conversations, sharp discovery, concise proposals—precisely where many try to delegate. The winners will build boringly good systems and let compounding do the rest.
The takeaway is unglamorous and powerful: your calendar is your strategy, your CRM is your memory, and your governance is your licence to automate. Fix those, and self‑sabotage gives way to compounding performance.
