About
In 2009 CEO and founder Kim Seeling Smith started Ignite Global after deciding that instead of being paid to put bums in seats (working as a recruiter for the 15 years prior to that) she wanted to help More
My Facebook memories told me that 1 year ago today was my first appearance on Nine’s Today Show. Georgie and I had a spirited discussion about the older workforce. I was optimistic back then. I was FINALLY seeing some cracks in our decades old discrimination against older workers.
Not so much anymore. I’ve read recent stories that Ageism is still alive and well and increasing in our new COVID environment.

According to the most recent research by Gallup, 85% of the global workforce is disengaged. That stat that has not moved in well over a decade and COVID has not seemed to impact it at all.

What this all means is that, despite the widespread calls for implicit bias training, it will likely be ineffective at best; at worst, it’s a poor use of limited resources that could cause more damage and exacerbate the very issues it is trying to solve.

A2B Australia Limited (CabCharge) is doing some really interesting work with self-managed teams. This has been a concept that many of my clients are struggling with as they redesign their org structures to increase collaboration, ownership and accountability. It’s a tough nut to crack.
