In this episode, the three amigos address the question: What on Earth do businesses in Australia need to understand about the transition to the post carbon economy?

After some detailed assessments of the current structures, three conclusions are reached:

  1. Energy and carbon are deeply entrenched in our day-to-day lives and in our businesses, there is a large transition underway
  2. The transition is happening at the enterprise level,  state level, national level and international level. If businesses want to keep trading, they will need to start transitioning: the economy is not going to wait for you.
  3. Governments across the country are establishing the architecture and the business enabling programs to assist owners and managers to start the transition.

This is an episode full of usable and timely information for business and enterprise leaders everywhere. It’s worth a listen.
