Driving Meaningful Change: Let’s Rock Unveils the Power of Inclusive Workplaces

As the partnership unfolded, our shared vision became more apparent, —to celebrate diversity and champion inclusive workplaces. Our values aligned perfectly, fuelling our passion to support their ground-breaking initiative, Let’s Rock NSW, which was a transformative event that asked attendees to ‘Rethink Disability’ by challenging perceptions, sparking conversations, and activating lasting change.

This gathering brought together an extraordinary ensemble—NSW public sector employees, people with disability working in the public sector, esteemed senior executives, and passionate representatives from the disability sector. It was a harmonious tapestry of collaboration and inclusivity.

BCS’s involvement in Let’s Rock NSW was more than just to support their event operations; it was an unwavering commitment to how we too needed to redefine disability as we knew it. We both understood that diversity and inclusion were not just abstract concepts but vital pillars for innovation and success. This event became the perfect platform to showcase the positive impact of inclusive practices and shatter preconceived notions about disability.

Within the Let’s Rock event, a beacon of change/action emerged—the captivating keynote speaker, Dylan Alcott AO. As a world-renowned wheelchair tennis player, Paralympic gold medalist, and relentless disability advocate, Dylan shared his remarkable journey and accomplishments. His presence illuminated the room, igniting a collective realisation that assumptions should not be made about people with disability and that they quite often possess immeasurable talent that as an employer, you could be missing out on.  Through his story, attendees were compelled to create inclusive environments where everyone’s unique abilities were celebrated.

The event unfolded with a riveting panel discussion, where experts delved into the barriers encountered when striving for diverse workplaces. Their insights and lived experiences sparked a fire within attendees, challenging them to question traditional norms and embrace fresh perspectives.

Let’s Rock NSW shattered the glass ceiling of conventional thinking surrounding disability and inclusion. It showcased success stories and emphasised the immeasurable value of diverse perspectives. It became an embodiment of the contributions people with disability make in the NSW public sector. BCS felt an immense pride in being part of an initiative that invited attendees to revolutionise their mindset and strive for transformative change.

The impact of Let’s Rock NSW was profound and enduring. Participants departed with a renewed commitment to foster inclusive workplaces and become agents of change. They experienced a paradigm shift—a revelation that diversity and inclusion were not just buzzwords but catalysts for innovation, growth, and societal progress.

BCS want to share this remarkable collaboration and the tale of Let’s Rock NSW, with their own clients, illustrating NSW Government’s unwavering journey towards creating a truly diverse workforce.

Being part of this event is an affirmation that when organisations embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion, they set the stage for true greatness. And with each collaboration, BCS sought to propel this revelation forward, illuminating the path towards a brighter, more inclusive future.

Helping Tech Sales & Marketing Professionals Sell To Government

Luli Adeyemo

For many years now I had conversations with sales and marketing teams who use large amounts of their already stretched resources to create solid sales and marketing strategies to meet their KPIs. I have also, in the past worked with industry associations hosting events for technology innovators and Government representatives to get them to work together to ensure that everyone gets a fair outcome, a sort of match-making session.

Challenges still exist, and those of you who know me, know that I am enthusiastic about the power of data insights to drive successful marketing and sales campaigns.

That is why I have decided to host a series of four insightful 15-minute discussions with an expert Government sales executive who has designed a government market intelligence platform that helps tech sales and marketing teams use real data insights for successful outcomes.

We all know that data-driven insights are the only robust method to ensure success, a recent Gartner study revealed that Government attributes 68% of tech buying process delays to a lack of specific information from the technology provider. I am surprised by this result, and I am sure there are many of you who disagree with this percentage.

Selling to Government is not an easy task, but with the right information and strategies, it can be a successful and profitable endeavour.

The aim of these discussions is to provide sales and marketing with actionable insights and tips that they can take back to their organisations and use to improve their success in selling to Government. Even if you cannot attend the live sessions, we will send you the recording and summary from each discussion, so you can still benefit from the information shared.

During our discussion series, we will explore how Tendertrace’s data insights can help technology companies navigate the complex and often frustrating process of selling into Government.

Real Data Insights Driving Healthcare and Government Engagement

Marketing technology innovations to Healthcare and Government audiences can be tricky. Thankfully, the message of harnessing technology for better patient outcomes and better citizen experience strongly resonates beyond the IT community.  Today, this message is more meaningful to key stakeholders within Government and Healthcare. However, cutting through this message to open up growth opportunities for technology innovators to engage with technology buyers within these sectors remains a challenge. 

Energise Engagement with Healthcare Buyers

Access Case Study

The objective of our client was to create new and maintain meaningful engagements with healthcare technology buyers and influencers.

We have had many conversations with overseas technology innovators looking to expand to Australia, and the writing is on the wall; both sectors plan to increase investment in technology.

According to the HIMSS Future of Healthcare Report, 80% of healthcare providers plan to increase investment in technology and digital solutions over the next five years. 

Last year it was announced the Digital Transformation Agency (DTA), will receive an additional AU$ 59 million over four years to continue to provide enhanced digital and IT oversight and advice. Their mission is to drive and secure the Australian Government’s investment in Australia’s digital future.

How can technology innovators harness this investment?

The most common pain point for technology marketers from our experience is engagement at the top to middle of the funnel – from creating awareness, initiating engagement, and maintaining meaningful engagement to guide audiences through the funnel, transitioning into loyal customers.

We’ve seen the most effective engagement campaigns driven by real data insights. What does this mean?

A lot has happened over the past two years within Government and Healthcare and understanding these changes through data insights on customers, markets, and industries will pinpoint the most productive allocation of marketing budget to effectively craft and personalise messages that engage audiences.

An close up image someone taking notes in a strategy meeting

Our own technology clients appreciate the power of data-driven insights for marketing purposes, with 64% of marketers surveyed stating they ‘strongly agree’ data-driven marketing is crucial to their companies, according to research by CMO by Adobe.

In 2021, our client engagement programs aimed at Healthcare and Government initiated with research and the collection and interpretation of data to shape audience engagement campaigns. This then enabled us to build buyer personas and create targeted content, and off the back of these insights present findings to both sales and marketing.

It’s not surprising the most popular marketing offerings to our technology clients in 2021 included:

  • Technology user research in Healthcare, FSI and Government
  • Sales and Marketing Alignment Workshops
  • Buyer Persona Creation
  • Targeted Content Creation

Healthcare and Government Stakeholder Engagement

Thankfully, among our technology community there has been a massive shift of focus from quick wins and lead generation to meaningful stakeholder engagement within the Healthcare and Government communities. Our partnerships with associations, lobbyists and Government agencies places us in a great position to advise and guide technology innovators on how they can make an impact in the future of Healthcare and Government sectors.

Facilitating the rise of AI in Australia

Reading recent headlines in the media you could be mistaken in thinking that AI is still in the innovation stage of the product adoption curve, headlines such as ‘Can AI help where humans cannot?’ and my favourite ‘Sorry Professor, AI did my homework’. 

There is no doubt that technology leaders need to maximise AI value, and it is encouraging to see that a critical technology such as AI now gains momentum in the mainstream.  A study from Deloitte supports this with 66% of organisations in their study, consider AI to be critical to their success. 

Since we announced our partnership with Queensland AI Hub (a Queensland Government Initiative) in March last year, we have had the pleasure of being part their community and witness the growth, advocacy and promotion of the business capabilities of Australia’s AI industry.

It’s exciting to be part of something that is building Australia’s AI industry into an innovative, sustainable, and globally competitive place.

Australia – The Innovation Nation

I recently read that If digital goods and services were a sector, it would be the 4th largest export sector for Australia. Isn’t this an amazing statistic?

Also, the department of foreign affairs also published that by 2030, digital trade will enable an estimated A$192 billion of economic value in Australia’s domestic economy. 

So, there is no doubt that Australia’s innovation savviness is one of its greatest exports. I moderated a panel at the Australian Grand Prix Corporation breakfast in Melbourne last month, the goal was to inform and excite attendees about current opportunities in the innovation space, with a view to furthering trade and innovation into the future between the UK and Australia was truly met.  All positive indicators that Australia is ‘the innovation nation’.

Export Market Development Program

Queensland AI Hub has just launched the Export Market Development Program (EMDP) and have selected our team to provide strategic marketing and engagement support.

We will support the recruitment of a cohort of 25 AI businesses and start-ups.  The grant will equip them with the right tools, skills and insights to prepare and successfully launch their products/services to international markets.

Our experience in this area includes successfully helping scaleups who are in the phase of evaluating their readiness to expand internationally,  contributing to the program’s success.

An awareness campaign of the EMDP has just been launched to ignite engagement. Our tasks include:

  • Develop a Marketing campaign project plan – includes the identification of key channels to reach AI businesses who are ready to expand.  Our team  will leverage our deep relationships with key technology associations who represent tech innovators across many sectors.
  • Craft assets to ease user experience and clearly guide applications from awareness through to action.  The focus is on clearly highlighting the benefits of the program and create social media assets with a strong call to action.
  • Create an engaging theme and a selection of educational marketing assets such as a landing page with payment gateway.
  • Support the application process, to ensure a smooth and pleasing experience.   Tap into our industry expertise and knowledge to vet each application through an interview process to create a short list of the best-fit applicants.

Applications are now open to apply for the grant, just visit the link. The deadline for applications is Wednesday, 25 May 2022.  Please share!

Other great initiatives Queensland AI Hub are supporting
  • Supporting researchers at The University of Queensland where they are using AI – embodied in robotics and virtual reality (VR) – to better understand and accelerate neurological recovery after stroke.
  • And Rockhampton Regional Council‘s Advance Rockhampton team to help facilitate industry engagement and enhance AI capability development in the region – helping to improve industry productivity, generate jobs and increase market access for regional businesses through the adoption of AI.

What Does The Future of B2B Events Look Like?

This has been challenging for some agencies, for Best Case Scenario we took this in our stride due to our vast experience in event production, logistics and technical expertise at the highest level.

Now restrictions have eased, the demand for in-person is greater than ever, however the threat of lockdowns/restrictions is never far away, which is why we can support in-person, virtual, or a hybrid mix of both.

Hybrid experiences require strong tech expertise. More than pure physical or total virtual, the hybrid space often cause complications, however our experience can eliminate this and ensure the event delivers:

  1. Integrity
  2. Acquisition of simultaneous unique content sources
  3. Synthesis of live and pre-recorded content
  4. Engagement for both live and virtual audiences
  5. A mix of speakers/presenters, and performers in various levels of interaction

Expected Outcomes From Excellent Event Planning?

An  event with a very strong technical expertise at the earliest planning stages is key to anticipating and dealing with such factors.  We ensure our team members, partners and clients are tightly aligned, leveraging real-time workflows and processes.

We harmonise across the teams to ensure we are always progressing the project.  We never stop pushing the limits of our space, we always consider ways we can improve performance, timelines and reliability to create a seamless attendee experience.

Are B2B Marketing Functions Entering a Period of Rejuvenation?

I attended my first in-person event recently as a delegate and to say that everyone was hungry to meet and greet is an understatement. It’s great to see that B2B organisations are not wasting time and taking advantage of this hunger, my networking calendar is filling up fast!

Event management is in Best Case Scenario’s DNA, but we know that a shift has taken place in terms of how leading tech marketing professionals are using events and content to engage tech buyers.  

A recent US/Canada study conducted by Emerald called “B2B Events Industry Outlook 2022” shows that there is an expectation for sales pipeline attributed to events – live and digital – will make up for the downturn from previous years. It also found that the future was the quality of contacts and engagement levels beyond actual events.

What Plans do Australian Best-in-Class Marketers Have?

Closer to home, research conducted by Greenhat (supported by the Australian Marketing Institute), which surveyed 500+ Australian organisations, has seen a growth in account based marketing and an expression of hope that the persistent gap between sales and marketing alignment is closing in.

Seriously, hats off to Greenhat’s research findings (no pun intended here), they say the results of this report give every reason to believe that we are entering ‘a period of rejuvenation’. I’m ready for this type of positivity and it’s satisfying to see the statistics that echo the type of projects our team have been working such as:

  • Best-in-class marketers are almost 3X more likely to develop personas and customer journey maps
  • 87% ensure that one third of their content generated is thought leadership
  • 34% implemented account based marketing

As observed in Greenhat’s research, marketing goals are best achieved when there is alignment between sales and marketing, therefore we have shaped our event packages to accelerate pipeline generation and shorten sales cycles for more sustainable ROI.

Another positive change I’ve witnessed first-hand is the increased demand of events from our technology clients targeting Government and Healthcare, both in person and virtual as part of an overall engagement strategy. 

Due to this increase in demand, our team recently reworked our event management packages to make them available as a stand-alone option or as part of an overall customer engagement strategy.

We are so ready for this period of rejuvenation and remain positive when it comes to working with our clients to propel technology adoption within Government, Healthcare and Finance Service sectors.

accelerate pipeline generation

Due to a recent surge in requests we have created packages to suit every budget and need, we also offer bespoke options to guarantee customer/prospect engagement. 

*Survey included more than 1,000 B2B event planners, vendors/providers and attendees in the United States and Canada to understand how events are driving business growth in an industry that is both recovering and evolving.

Data insights for healthcare engagement

The Challenge

The objective of our client was to create new and maintain meaningful engagements with healthcare technology buyers and influencers, a typically competitive landscape where many technology organisations struggle to engage.

The Solution

We worked with our client to develop custom research and use data insights to effectively engage top to the middle of the funnel – from creating awareness, initiating engagement to guiding healthcare technology buyers effectively through the funnel, transitioning into loyal customers.

  • Brainstorm and identify the key areas of interest the study should focus on from data interoperability standards to challenges faced. Identify key personas.
  • Using our analyst experts and best practices build an effective study questions. Then conduct 200 telephonic interviews with pre-qualified respondents in Australia and New Zealand.
  • Maximise investment and use data insights to create key marketing assets to complement the buyers journey from easy to digest data via infographics to whitepapers.
  • Turn data insights in thought leadership.

Output:
Persona Enhancement & Key Data

Data gathered from the study enabled the further development of key personas with a detailed understanding of their key challenges and needs.

A sample of the data points collected in this study can be seen below:

Supporting industry associations is the key to propelling tech adoption across other industry sectors.

A survey conducted by Bain & Company and Twitter, as part of their ongoing research on how the Covid-19 pandemic is changing B2B marketing dynamics, found that buyers trust community sources over ads and other sources, such as sales reps, webinars and vendor websites. From our experience, this finding is nothing new and existed in pre-pandemic days.

One such community source that has an impact on tech buyers are industry associations who are making valuable contributions to educating sectors such as Government and Healthcare on the importance of tech.

I began volunteering with the AIIA (Australian Information Industry Association) many years ago and most recently with the Tech Council of Australia via my work with #TechDiversity, they are relentlessly propelling tech adoption across industry sectors.

Technology innovators who align with what matters to associations will be seen.

Associations are often overlooked when it comes to technology communication strategies and the impact they have on Government, Healthcare, FSI and other sectors. Many have admirable goals that influence the innovation in Australia such as:

  • Building links with universities and industry to commercialise innovative research

  • Developing effective regulatory settings for a tech-enabled economy

  • Skilling the technology workforce and improving access to talent overseas

  • Boosting Government investment in tech

It’s possible for tech innovators to create a genuine alignment with associations for example, one association we have had the pleasure of working with, Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA), recently released their 2022 election statement. The AHHA is Australia’s national peak body for public and not-for-profit hospitals and healthcare providers, they attract a captive audience.

Their election statement outlines four key areas of reform urgently needed in shifting to more outcomes-focused, value-based health care.

  • Measure and report what matters
  • Build a sustainable and resilient workforce
  • Provide stewardship and support that enables regional innovation and reform
  • Use funding models and incentivise improved health outcomes

Here is an excellent opportunity for technology innovators to get involved in the conversation, to be outwardly focused on how their innovation can impact one or more of the above key areas of reform.

Technology marketing and sales professionals shouldn’t underestimate the importance of their organisation being part of conversations among the tech buyer community.

I regularly speak with tech buyers within Government, Healthcare and FSI and the message from them is consistent, they seek out information from their peers and thought leadership on industry trends that give valuable perspectives.

More tech innovators are seeing this trend and are taking a considered and educated approach when communicating the value of their innovations to industry sectors who will benefit from investing in tech.

Acting as a conduit puts us in a privileged position

Our team are privileged to work with a myriad of industry associations both in Australia and overseas, all trusted voices who represent their industry from Technology, Government, FSI to Healthcare.  

The main motivation for us when working with industry associations is to propel the adoption of technology within sectors that can leverage tech to change lives for good. 

As we continue to work with many other associations beyond just technology, together we are driving purpose-led conversations such as delivering better citizen experience to supporting healthcare professionals via the use of technology.

Supporting tech innovation as an enabler within Australian Healthcare & Government Sectors

We invite technology innovators to learn about our initiatives within these sectors that include:

Technology as an enabler in healthcare

Drive conversations in healthcare

We continue to gather a mix of forward thinkers from different skill sets and backgrounds together to have meaningful conversations on what needs to be done when it comes to leveraging technology for better patient outcomes. Last year we worked with our partner Queensland AI Hub to build a forum to discuss AI in Healthcare featuring Queensland University, Metro South Health, Harrison.ai and Deloitte. In 2022 we will continue to drive similar conversations with a variety of stakeholders.

A conduit between Healthcare stakeholders

We are currently engaging with a number of associations, government representatives, regulators, academia, healthtech and patient representatives to collaborate and navigate the complexity of the healthcare sector. Reach out to me to be part of it, 2022 will the year of ‘doers’.

Medical personnel holding a mobile phone, using technology in healthcare

Leverage research to propel better patient outcomes in Healthcare through tech

We will continue to undertake healthcare sector research on behalf of technology leaders to create insightful and educational content on how technology can be leveraged to deliver better patient outcomes. The results of such studies are distributed to our network of associations to reach the users of tech within healthcare settings.

Technology as an enabler in government

Scrabble pieces forming a word 'Government'

Grow diversity within NSW government’s tech supplier network.

Via #TechDiversty foundation we teamed up with Cultural Infusion and approached NSW Government to implement a data driven platform called Diversity Atlas across all strategic partners that provide technology services to the state Government, to understand tech workforce diversity. This is an excellent opportunity for our technology clients to align with a Government procurement process that puts diversity and inclusion as a priority. Reach out to me to find out more.

Data driven insights to help tech innovators sell and market to Government

Provide technology innovators with access to data insights that will enable better ‘matchmaking’ between tech innovation and Government request for tender (RFTs).  Organisations can throw a lot of resource at RFTs with little insights. These data insights help organisations to uncover partnerships for RFT success.  Our clients use this service for competitor insights and plan future resource allocation to submit upcoming RFTs.

Support and attract more talent to the tech sector

Continue to volunteer our time to lead not for profit #TechDiversity foundation, we recently secured a partnership with the Tech Council of Australia and their recently launched initiative; the Digital Employment Forum (DEF). We will support and educate their members so they can attract and retain a diverse and inclusive workforce.

We’ve advised some amazing women-led businesses from Sri-Lanka with the Export Council of Australia and from Canada to New Zealand with SheEO, where we participated in virtual trade events.

We are actively mentoring overseas organisations with setting up and growing their market presence in Australia as part of The International Growth Programme lead by our UK partner TechNation
