Introducing NEXTgen
If you’re looking to stretch the comfort zone, the NEXTgen program is for you.
Previously before the program I wanted to get involved in standards development but didn’t know how
Being able to engage with those people that have the wealth of knowledge, have the experience...
It’s been a great experience and I have learned so much about the process of standardising
Anyone from any industry who uses standards, is interested in standardisation, who wants to be on a committee, who is on a committee.
I would highly recommend the program to anyone thinking to get involved in standards.
It's been really surprising in how much I've learned and how much opportunity there is.
One of the messages to the bosses of the young leaders is that there’s some real opportunities by encouraging their staff to attend
and I actually, you know, I want to get involved, I want to make that impact and I feel that standards gives me that opportunity
You are often rubbing shoulders with leaders, thought leaders in your industry sector.
They are then able to take that experience back and provide value-add to their clients from the very next day
In terms of your personal development, in terms of your standards involvement, there’s so many opportunities and it’s such an amazing contribution that you can be making.

[narrator]
This year we made big things happen.
We supported 5,296 contributors in the development of 196 publications
We celebrated 20 graduates through the Young Leaders program
And we hosted 7,483 experts from Australia and around the world
On social media we reached over 11,000 followers
We partnered with 435 media collaborators for 1,084 news mentions reaching a potential audience of over 671 million
And we influenced international standards on 348 committees at ISO and IEC
The stakeholders we partner with are evolving, and so are we
We started building the future of standards through the Incubator
We braved a new xml world with our publishing tool improvements
We saw the maze of standards open up through the launch of SIM
We introduced a modern, more accessible website for all users
We created an online learning platform
And started building prototypes of new digital products
This year, more than ever, we’re committed to being more strategic, more open, and delivering a higher quality product than ever before.

Digital Transformation Tools for our Future
[Kareen]
A year ago today we started a transformation program that put digital at the core of everything we do. 12 months later, my team and I are excited about what we have achieved, and just as excited about what’s to come.
[Andrew W]
The Standards Information Management portal is an online library of national and international standards that’s scalable, high performance and built on best of breed technology.
Our committees will now have instant access to the standards they need. And what’s great about SIM is not only the value it provides now, but what it will enable
us to do in the future.
[Andrew D]
To improve our digital publishing abilities, we needed to move to XML tools. And this meant leaving the Microsoft Word environment we’ve been working in for 15 years. We’ve developed an easy to use document for drafting new standards, so committees can focus on content.
Our XML tools remove the fiddly formatting, and even better, they allow us to publish in different media, and that’s giving our customers more choice in how they connect with and how they use our content.
[Eddie]
ISOlutions is the new e-balloting platform for our ISO mirror committees. Launching this platform is about helping our contributors to make better use of their time, while making it easier for us to do our jobs.
It is early days, but already we are hearing consistent feedback that the implementation is simple, intuitive and creates a much more streamlined balloting experience.
[Kareen]
By moving to an agile environment, and with great support from our partners and contributors, we’ve designed and delivered solutions that meet the needs of today, and set us up for tomorrow.
Our next 12 months will be just as exciting as we work to improve the contributor experience. A digital Standards Australia?
You bet.

International Blockchain Conference 2017
[music]
[Mark Ebeling]
Blockchain is one of those technologies that is really going to change the world
[Scott Farrell]
Because It's a brand new kind of system, one like none other we've seen before
[Adrian McCullagh]
The governor of the Bank of England noted that the blockchain is the start of the fourth information revolution
[Rob Hanson]
There's a requirement to signal certainty to the marketplace that blockchain is something that can be used, can be adopted and can produce a lot of value
[Emma Weston]
And one of the ways we can do that is by defining standards but also by having diverse groups of people come together to discuss the technologies and the applications that most affect us
[Gilbert Verdian]
To me this is an interesting technology because it adopts multiple components of security and has a new method to deliver those components
[Maxim Shevchenko]
Not only in financial sector but also in distributed ledger, into government
[Pietu Pohjalainen]
You can do smart contracts which allow you to express the intention of contract between parties in very specific terms
[Masanori Kusunoki]
I think standardisation is a very important part for accelerate blockchain
adoption and development
[Adrian McCullagh]
We don't know where this technology will end up but we do know that it's going to influence every business – and society – over the next 50 years.
