Are you a finite player or an infinite player? Do you play to defeat? Or do you play to improve your standing amongst your competitors? Do you focus on short term wins and profits? Or do you pace yourself, and work towards corporate strength and endurance to stay in the game indefinitely? These are differences between finite and infinite players in business, and an infinite player will outlive a finite one every time. They equip themselves for long-term success rather than short term victories and are led by courageous people with loyal, trusting teams of strong capability. As we at Ready Media Group continue to play ‘infinitely’, we welcome yet another key addition to our team, Head of Agency - Chet Foong. Chet provides strategic leadership and planning for Ready Media Creative services and is on the forefront of all creative campaigns.
Rob also chats with Michael Rothner, Principal of property investment house, AsheMorgan, who has been instrumental in the expansion of the business both domestically and internationally. We look at ‘what will define the next generation of the office sector’ with insights from Natalie Slessor, Lendlease’s Head of Customer & Digital Investment Management as well as share some breakthrough news about 3D concrete printing and how the future of construction is changing. Speaking of games this month, we learn all about Sebastian Drapac’s ‘rules to playing the international investment game’, his being an infinite one that has held stead all the way from his beginnings ‘down under’ to the USA. Australian property developer Luke Berry of Third.i who is also enjoying great international success, talks to us about his journey across the globe and some defining elements that have contributed to his success. Finally, as always, we have included commercial investment listings, upcoming auctions and EOI’s as well as our ‘monthly market moves’ around the Country. Enjoy the read.
