Steve Vamos is named in the top five most influential members of the Australian technology industry in successive years (2004 and 2005) by the Australian Financial Review, he is a non-executive Director of Telstra and the founding President of the Society for Knowledge Economics (SKE).
He is an information technology and online media industry leader who recognizes the challenges of operating in the connected and fast changing world of today. He is a great speaker on leadership, organizational performance and potential, innovation and digital strategies, and shares his personal views on the leadership, culture and management approaches needed in the face of the major global issues affecting the companies worldwide.
In his speech at Ci2011, Steve discusses what is needed to be done to confront the barriers of creativity, innovation and productivity. The major problem he highlights in his presentation is our need to always know “the answer” which is one of the greatest obstructions in the way of innovation. His key recommendation to the leaders is to be learners despite of being expertise in their fields, to always be open to new ideas and not to be control-oriented and self-centered. The best investment for the management is to bring out the best in its people and to frequently seek feedback from them. These are the bosses we require for a better and finer future.

"Without a doubt the best conference in Australia with a delightful mix of creativity and big thinking bringing together an eclectic group of industry, community and education leaders. Once again, I’ve come away enthused by new ideas, more aware of future trends, and heartened by the kindness of humanity. We all have a role to play and it should be a collective one." Kerry Anderson, Founder of Operation Next Gen
