Harnessing Digital Talent to Solve Crises with Courtney Brown from WHO & The Millennial Group

Today's show we chat with Courtney Brown from Australia about her role as CEO of The Millennial Group  since its founding in 2008. She shares her perspective on how to harness remote/digital talent to achieve lasting change. She also shares her work as a Contributing Expert of Digital Health Technical Advisory Group for the World Health Organization. With decades of experience across customer, cyber, risk, marketing, technology & digital transformation within financial services, government and health organisations, Courtney has some great pointers if your company has any digital assets.  About Courtney:Courtney Brown started her career within Australia’s first digital banking proposition, ING Direct. She is dynamic and performance oriented, always seeking to exceed expectations through accountable delivery. Passionate about a legacy for the next generation and those yet to come, her drive is to disrupt systems and business models whilst also advising Boards and Executives for how to prepare for the future. This future where IT security is like currency and where distributed ledgers and open-source systems will be the way Millennials will soon demand to work. Reporting to a Board of Medical Practitioners from the age of 25, Courtney has an entrepreneurial mindset having established and grown digital sales within numerous organisations. She has an advanced understanding of governance, commercial strategy, financial services compliance and will always remain an advocate for the customer of today and the customer of the future. She performs at her best when facilitating negotiations of difficult conversations. Or, to develop the best strategy considering all risks and angles. Her management approach is stewardship. The Millennial Group’s immense talent pool as a collective has no organisational structure and she encourages collaborations across borders and with partners to tackle emerging and known technology challenges.Helping boards to communicate the ‘why’ for adoption of emerging tech and the need to be the leader or first follower rather than the disrupted is why Millennial came about. And having returned to Sydney after years abroad and interstate, Courtney is preparing to deliver value back to her hometown and the Australian economy. It is her belief that from afar Australia can become an economic powerhouse leveraging our distance and destination draw cards for collaborative success.About Millennial GroupOperating for 11 years we are a collective of digital specialists.
