Successfully completing a post graduate management qualification opens up a whole new world of opportunity for individuals but too often the knowledge gained from this study sits dormant in the mind of these talented individuals because they are not given the opportunity to apply this knowledge. Or is it more the case that these successful individuals don’t take up the opportunity to apply this valuable knowledge simply because they let the barriers overwhelm them?
Dr Peter Lake will discuss with participants the latent value of their post graduate management qualifications and put forward some simple strategies to overcome barriers and take up the opportunities presented to them. Rather than putting forward a ‘silver bullet’ solution to your lifestyle and financial position, the discussion will be about applying what you already know in order to identify opportunities, make the most of those opportunities and reap the rewards. Given the current global economic and environmental uncertainty, the high Australian Dollar and the debate about falling productivity, this is a great time to seize the moment and monetise your post graduate management qualifications.
Dr Peter Lake is the Principal of Knowledge Node Pty Ltd, a Melbourne based Management Consultancy. Peter has qualifications in engineering and business and advises clients on strategy development and execution. Prior to corporate advisory, Peter worked across the energy, refining and mining industries.

Part of this sales success was due a pragmatic engagement with social media which actively started in November 2010 Chris will explain the both the techniques he has used successfully and the others which he thinks are a total waste of time.

John Anderson
Moving directly into the Banking Industry on leaving school the expectation was that this career path was “until grave” not just with regard to the industry but also within the one organisation. Following this course, John worked for the NAB Group for 17 years before finally letting his yearning for entrepreneurship take its course in 1997 when he left the safe haven of the Bank to start up his first business in partnership. The only real goal moving on was to establish a business interest where he controlled his own destiny, the resultant direction was Recruitment which came more from opportunity than anything specifically targeted. The end outcome looks logical in hindsight.
The early years of running his own recruitment business were cluttered with a constant mix of success and otherwise, and many times he ventured off the track and invested time and money into other business interests mostly related to the new and exciting environment of the internet. Whilst he will admit that it was a lot of fun and greatly expanded his network, he kept returning to Recruitment.
So for the past 15 years, Recruitment and running a business have been John’s key focus. This has been the typical rollercoaster ride experienced by all small business owners, where stability and tenure only comes about by constantly reinventing your business strategy and adapting to change. In this role John has had exposure to a wide range of business both small and large, and the challenges they face, particularly with regard to talent. He has also seen the difficulties faced by the job seeker and the pitfalls and challenges they too face. On the whole there is not much in recruitment John hasn’t witnessed but one thing is certain, it never gets dull!
John Matthews
John Matthews is co-founder and former Director of the Institute of Executive Coaching. John began coaching in 1996 and has been described as a pioneer of coaching in Australia having established the Institute in 1999 as a centre of excellence for executive coaching in the region.
Since that time, John has accumulated over 11,000 hours coaching experience with senior executives from some of the world’s most prominent organisations. His experience includes having coached several Australian Federal Department Secretaries, some of whom were new in their appointments and others seeking strategic coaching to augment their seasoned experience in times of change.
On a daily basis, John works with senior executives of high profile organisations across a range of industries including banking and finance, professional services, retail, information technology and telecommunications. Other clients John has worked with include, Asian Development Bank, NAB, Centrelink, Telstra, ANZ, Ernst & Young, Barwon Water and Australia Post.
