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.

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.

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:
