Wider Community

The Working Journey believes that every commercial enterprise has a role to play in creating equality in opportunity for those less fortunate and in doing whatever it can to lessen its environmental impact. This forms part of our wide community mission. As a result we actively seek out organisations that we believe assist others to help themselves, here in Australia and elsewhere.

2015: Scenario Planning 2040
In 2015 we coordinated a group of proactive South Australian companies and government to sponsor Clem Sunter, one of the world’s foremost scenario planners, to work with a group of the state’s business leaders to create future scenarios for South Australia 2040. This was a highly successful two day session and a working group has evolved to socialise the scenarios broadly.

2015 The Future of Work
Working in conjunction with Schumacher College we hosted a number of workshops with head of the economics Dept at Schumacher on the Future of Money and the Future of Work. Our partners on this were:

Feet of Cement in a New Corporate Age. PPC – a case of Green wash.

The rural, peaceful villages of Riebeek Kasteel and Riebeek West may soon see heavy duty trucks rumbling through our streets every eight minutes. We may also experience waves of job hunters descending on the community in the forlorn hope of finding work as this mega new project kicks off.
