We discussed Anne's journey and some of the challenges and celebrations that have led her to become an International industry leader in operational management of high-level financial transactions in a highly regulated multi-jurisdictional industry. "I joined QTC about four years ago, and they were just starting down a major project. They've basically changed all their systems, their processes, their operating structure, their change management, their people management, they've won awards in HR magazines. They get their surveys of staff and feedback are phenomenal. They kept them very well informed. They gave a lot of training and talked about what needed to be done. They celebrated all the successes and they just went ahead, and it's a very, very good culture. It's comes down to obviously the CEO and his senior people around him." - Anne Parkin Summary of episode · Culture · Queensland Treasury Corporation · Working in investment banking in Asia · The challenges faced by start-ups · Operational Management · Advisory Boards · Business continuity planning · Implementation of three global systems · Virtual Annual General Meetings · Problem solving · Board reporting About Anne Parkin Anne offers over 25 years of board level experience in global banking, securities trading and superannuation spanning across the Asia-Pacific region.
