“Every problem is a gift—without problems we would not grow.” – Anthony Robbins We were at the DSC Conference last week and lots of great speakers. Reading the room however there is a lot of nervous CEO's / Executives / Business Owners and many were talking about mergers. After speaking with many NDIS providers it is apparent most organisations are focussing on the top line - revenue growth and diversification. Great, however this is not the guiding principle to a sustainable organisation and therefore doesn't mean success. If you 'Flip' your Profit & Loss Report around (thanks Steve Osborne for this analogy), focus on the bottom line and you realise sustainability comes down to efficiency. The NDIS is predominantly Fixed Priced funding – so you can’t actually improve margin by increasing the price (its fixed - set by the NDIA). So the only thing you can do is improve efficiencies, more of the revenue goes to being profitable – then reinvested back into the organisation in future years. So, coming back to mergers – growing your revenue line through merging is not necessarily the answer - you need to be efficient - can you do this and then consider the value of merging? Focussing on the operational efficiencies will move the dial just enough to improve cashflow and therefore sustainability. If you are not sure how, reach out and let’s have a conversation, I'm happy to share the ten years of NDIS experience.

Maintaining open lines of communication with our users is one way Zscaler lives out its core value of customer obsession. During the CXO Experience track at Zenith Live '24, we as a leadership team took questions from our CXO attedees, expanded on the strategy behind some recent acquisitions, and reinforced our continued commitment to hardening and scaling the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange. Here are my own takeaways from that session: https://lnkd.in/g4vP3k3Y Jay Chaudhry, Mike Rich, Syam Nair Steve McMahon #ZL24 #CXO #digitaltransformation

M&A News: All eyes are on Nine Entertainment’s half-year earnings later this week for the reason behind the rumour that Nine’s banker, Michael Stock, canvassed the sale of a 60% stake in Domain to both KKR and TPG. While Domain reported strong results last week, the company will only find it more difficult to compete with REA Group in an AI-driven world. Time will tell if Nine CEO Mike Sneesby will be drawn on the matter during Thursday morning’s earnings call. In other news, Star Entertainment Group could be forced to close its flagship Sydney casino if it fails to convince a new inquiry that it has reformed its culture, after the state watchdog called a second probe into the operations of the struggling business. Philip Crawford, chief commissioner of the NSW Independent Casino Commission, on Monday ordered a fresh inquiry into Star Sydney, two years after an earlier inquiry found anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism failings. Boral Ltd has advised its shareholders to take no action on Seven Group Holdings's off-market takeover offer for all the remaining shares in the company. Mighty Craft Limited has received multiple non-binding offers for its South Australian based assets. Mighty Craft has a market cap of AUD 7.2m (USD 5m). The Company has received multiple nonbinding offers for the South Australian based assets. The Company intends to evaluate these offers with the aim of pursuing those that are in the best interests of all stakeholders. #mergers #acquisitions #womeninbusiness
