🚀 Elon Musk crashes rockets for a living. And somehow…(rightly so) that’s considered innovation. Meanwhile in Australia, if a CIO’s project fails once, it’s a career-ending headline. In the latest episode of Things.Reasons Naran McClung and I sat down with Matt Boon to ask : 👉 Is innovation in Australian IT falling behind? 👉 Can CIOs still afford to “try and fail”? Australia just ranked 22nd in the 2025 Global Innovation Index. Not bad. But for a country that loves to talk about innovation… shouldn’t we be aiming a little higher? 🎧 Watch the clip or catch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/gKEqCZRw #ThingsReasons #Innovation #CIO #TechLeadership #AustraliaTech #DigitalTransformation #ElonMusk

We don’t talk about this enough in IT leadership. Simon Reiter was candid on Things. Reasons. about stress, wellbeing and the importance of managing it deliberately — not just blasting through. I’ve always said that in our industry, pressure was treated like part of the job. High performance often meant ignoring how you felt and just pushing harder. Simon flipped that. And he’s right — being deliberate about managing stress and energy is just as important as any tech decision we make. 👉 Catch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/gKEqCZRw This is what Things.
