For the 5th year running, we surveyed over 50 business improvement professionals from a cross-section of industries across Australia to uncover the major challenges, trends and opportunities for productivity gains in Australian business improvement now and in the coming months.

This report, sponsored by Open Orbit, explores three main drivers influencing the way Australian businesses are approaching OPEX, including:

1. Changing customer priorities and behaviour
2. Empowering people and building leadership to drive change
3. Enhancing process excellence through tech applications

Crucial to any operational transformation  is a balance between processes that bring efficiency and the people that enable them. So then, the question on every CEO’s lips in today’s digital age – what is more important - people, or process?

Should we be more focused on the ‘right’ talent acquisition and development, or on putting new processes in place to speed up our operations and then developing those? What truly has an impact on whether your organisation is successful and accomplishes breakthrough innovation success?

Ahead of OPEX Week Australia 2019 we explore these questions in detail, with the aim of unearthing whether people, or process should be your priority.
