  • Revisiting Australia's Transformation Champions One Year
    EXECUTIVE BRIEFING // JUNE 2020 Revisiting Australia’s Transformation Champions One Year Later: Resilience and Opportunity During COVID-19 By Andy Parker INNOSIGHT // REVISITING AUSTRALIA’S TRANSFORMATION CHAMPIONS ONE YEAR LATER 2 . Andy Parker is a partner at Innosight. s Australia makes admirable progress against COVID-19 Australia’s business leaders are naturally wondering what comes next, given strong economic uncertainty remains despite the health risks diminishing. An analysis of eight AAustralian champions shows that more than ever leaders should set their sights on a more ambitious goal than short-term survival; they should be thinking about long-term transformation. Exactly a year ago we published a research report spotlighting eight Australian companies that delivered seven times the returns of the ASX 200 from 2013 to 2018 through dual transformation. This means they repositioned their core business for resilience while simultaneously pursuing new growth opportunities and linked these ‘dual’ efforts around capabilities that create competitive advantage. Listed in alphabetical order, Australia’s Transformation Champions were: 1. Aristocrat: the gaming machine provider and casino manager that branched into the growing market of social and digital gaming. 2. Caltex: traditionally focussed on fuel refining, Caltex is now pursuing a retail strategy including a café business with outlets not necessarily attached to petrol stations. 3. Downer EDI: the mining and engineering services business acquired facilities management company Spotless to diversify with offerings in the integrated facilities management market. 4. Orora: this packaging company has entered a new market in visual communication solutions, providing end-to-end services from creative solutions right to the point of distribution.
