He has a PhD in organisational and technological innovation and for thirty years has explored how people innovate and how people adopt new technologies. He has served as advisor to a long list of multinationals, governments, universities, the CSIRO and National ICT Australia, and founded or co-founded several ventures, including KPMG’s Innovation Advisory practice and a cloud-based disaster recovery start-up subsequently sold to Unitrends.
Bruce McCabe was chosen as a suitable speaker as the event focussed largely on the future of ACT Health as we transitioned to forming to two distinct organisations. As a futurist, Bruce McCabe’s presentation focussed on research, innovation and technological developments impacting healthcare in the next 5 to 10 years. His presentation was grounded on research, evidence base and first-hand experience and 1 on 1 conversations with leading thinkers and scientists around the world.
