CEDA's Big Issues project
CEDA's Big Issues project
CEDA's Big Issues project aims to identify and prioritise the
challenges facing Australian business over the next 10 years.
The project has been developed in partnership with CEDA board
member and chair of our Research Committee, Phil Ruthven, who has
generously provided the resources of IBISWorld.
Each year, we ask CEDA members to rank selected issues according
to their potential to affect Australian economic development.
Responses are then aggregated and sent to IBISWorld for
analysis.
Once a clear list of issues is identified, CEDA convenes a
roundtable to come up with clear policy solutions to the top
issues.
Member participation is of critical importance to the success of
this project.
Not only will our members have the opportunity to influence the
future research and event agenda of CEDA, they have the opportunity
to influence prioritisation of the policy agenda at the highest
level.
2009 Big Issues
The 2009 Big
Issues survey was conducted during October 2009.
Following the completion of the survey and an initial
analysis, CEDA convened a roundtable on 25 November 2009, with our
Research and Policy Council, reviewing the issues and policy
options.
We are also
working with media partners in order to facilitate broader
discussion of the results - both the survey results and the policy
solutions suggested by the CEDA Research and Policy Council. This
will be released in the national press over the summer holiday
season and will serve as an important reference point for policy
makers and business executives.
