'The Right Product Sold The Right Way' Asia Taskforce Discussion Paper
PDF 443kb 

This Discussion Paper has been prepared as part of a series of short reports on specific topics identified by the Asia Taskforce (Taskforce) – an initiative of the Business Council of Australia and Asia Society Australia together with knowledge partners PwC Australia and the University of Sydney Business School - to supplement the findings and recommendations contained in the Interim Report.

The paper is intended to contribute to a discussion about how Australian capability and talent can help to broaden our economic relationship with Japan and build on the already strong connection between our financial services industries built up over the past 15 years. It provides a starting point for Australian financial services businesses to define the opportunities and, perhaps most importantly, illustrate how organisations can navigate the inevitable risks by bringing the ‘Team Australia’ approach outlined in the Interim Report to life.
