Not Invented Here● Bias towards tech and providers from outside● Local ICT view the only valid path is overseas● We lose opportunity and talent● The perceived view is of Australia as an
incubator but not as a mature market source

Niche Job Market Place
● Micro to Small ICT businesses stay away from Government work
● Tendering process viewed as cumbersome and geared towards bigger providers
● Not every job requires a multi-national● For jobs under $50,000 list them via Niche Job
Market Place● Use completely transparent tendering rules

Culture Change
● Australian Business and Government Culture needs to change
● ICT innovation can and is being done in Australia – Up to a point, then we're forced OS
● We need to get better at retaining the brains and the businesses
● Silicon Valley is nice and all but I'd prefer Silicon Beach

Final Thoughts● Stop thinking of Australia as an incubator only● Where all things are equal procure locally● Australian ICT scene is truly world class, we're
doing some very very cool stuff, take advantage of it before someone else does
● Cliché time: Think outside the box, break out of the tender framework and try something new
