Topics identified through our research and discussions with members to be presented in our 2015 program include: Professional services March 2015 member event Ours is a 30% services economy. Constraints are commonly considered to be sector specific: financial, engineering, consulting, but structural barriers, changes in delivery models and in competition have broad impact. Can reform in professional services unleash potential?

This CEDA event will address the review s finding and recommendations and consider the implications for business.

8 Defence industries May 2015 member event The Defence White Paper findings and recommendations will drive future defence policy with military strategy and force structure.

The capital base of the sector will be crucial to prosperity; to be competitive and meet regional demand, private and foreign investors will require equity for capital. Contestability August 2015 member event CEDA speakers consider whether the commitment to a contestable market, to open up government service delivery to competition from alternative providers, has presented new opportunities for private, not-for-profit and contracted service providers to engage in service delivery. Retirement policy August 2015 public event Improved living conditions and medical advances have extended life. While this is good for individuals it has societal and economic implications.
