Assessing diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) in Australian business, from the perspective of IT managers, the channel, c-suite and the board.
Report overview
The State of Diversity report explores the current state of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the technology sector, offering an analysis of the industry's efforts to promote diversity in the development and deployment of technology, as well as across supply chains, in the workforce and in leadership.
In the State of Diversity report, we explore the role that technology leaders, partners, and the wider organisational leadership team play in promoting DE&I, and how this shift can help businesses to thrive in an increasingly competitive and rapidly changing global marketplace. The report will examine how diverse teams and inclusive cultures can lead to more innovative and effective technology solutions, drive productivity growth, meet demand for skills, and how DE&I can help organisations to build stronger relationships with customers, partners, and other stakeholders.
In addition to exploring the benefits of DE&I for the technology sector, the report will also address the challenges and obstacles that organisations may face as they work to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.
By examining case studies, best practices, and other insights from industry leaders, the State of Diversity report aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of DE&I in the technology sector.
Three key angles will be considered:
1. iTnews - The role of IT leaders such as CIOs and CTOs in driving their organisation’s DE&I agendas
2. CRN - The importance of diversity in the technology supply chain and the opportunities it presents to partners and customers.
3. Digital Nation - The opportunities and challenges of diversity, and diverse thinking in leadership and governance, and its impacts on both companies and customers.
This report will be developed using insights, statistics and interviews. There will be a story unique to each publication which addresses the issues through the unique prism of the publication and will feature the voice of the reader in the story telling.

A report and breakfast launch event exploring the relationship between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors and the ongoing war for talent in the technology industry, in partnership with the ACS.
Report overview
The global shift to sustainable transformation has been largely driven by the changing expectations of investors, customers and employees.
CIOs are increasingly being asked to create and implement sustainable approaches to technology. Meanwhile, the war for talent is leaving businesses grappling with higher expectations of pay and a shortage of skills to meet technology demands.
In this SkillsXESG report, Digital Nation explores the relationship between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors and the ongoing war for talent in the technology industry, in partnership with the ACS.
This report aims to understand how ESG practices impact talent acquisition, retention, and overall organisational success within the technology sector.
By examining case studies, industry trends, and best practices, we identify key insights and recommendations for IT leaders to effectively address the intersection of ESG and the war for talent.
This report will be launched at an exclusive breakfast event at ACS’s breathtaking Barangaroo location.

Report Launch
The report will be launched at an exclusive breakfast event at ACS’s breathtaking Barangaroo location, and features two panels and a fireside chat.Panels & Fireside Chat:
Panel 1: ESG risks and IT leaders
Sustainability is creating new demands on IT and business leaders, boards and partners to develop and execute their business strategy in the context of wider environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals.
This panel examines the role technology leaders play in delivering the ESG objectives of their organisation, and how the shift to sustainability delivers business benefits such as lower costs, and higher growth.
Panel 2: Skills and upskilling:

After every panel and fireside chat there will be an opportunity for attendees to ask the panellists questions.
