From 6:30pm
At Bottega
74 Bourke Street, Melbourne
The Board of the Group of 100 would like to invite members to our Melbourne networking dinner on Wednesday 3rd September at Bottega Restaurant, with Dr Ross Honeywill our special guest.
Dr Honeywill is a social scientist, corporate strategist, and author.  As CEO of the Social Intelligence Lab, Dr Honeywill works with business leaders and data scientists to drive growth for top brands in Australia and North America.  The companies he has advised include NAB, Qantas, Lexus, Four Seasons Hotels, and ING. He also teaches at the University of Tasmania’s School of Business & Economics and his books are published worldwide.
Dr Honeywill believes that finance leaders must continually assess the reliability of data, their business partners, and internal controls.  In an environment where risks—from cyber threats to regulatory changes—are ever-present, a healthy degree of scepticism enables CFOs to safeguard organisational assets, ensure transparency, and uphold accountability.
At this event, Dr Honeywill will show why distrust is a major, overlooked risk for your business, and what every CFO should do about it.
This special evening will provide members with the opportunity to connect with your peers in a relaxed and elegant setting, fostering meaningful discussion and professional relationships within the CFO community.
We are delighted to announce that distinguished guest speaker, Dr Ross Honeywill will be joining us for the evening.
Dr Honeywill is a renowned social scientist and thought leader in the evolving dynamics of business, society, and leadership. As Executive Director at the Centre for Social Economics and Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Tasmania’s School of Business & Economics, Dr Honeywill brings a deep understanding of how economic, social, and technological shifts are reshaping the workplace and the broader economy.
With a distinguished career advising leading global and national organisations—such as Lexus, Qantas, Moët-Hennessy, and National Australia Bank—he specialises in identifying emerging trends, mapping premium value, and guiding businesses through periods of disruption and innovation. Dr Honeywill is also an acclaimed author whose recent book, Being NEO: Embrace your inner NEO and change the world, explores strategies for thriving in an era defined by rapid change.
Dr Honeywill will share his insights on the changing business landscape, focusing on the impact of artificial intelligence, shifting social norms, remote work, and economic pressures. He will address how these forces are reshaping not only the role of CFOs but also the fabric of organisational culture and leadership, offering practical perspectives for navigating increasing social isolation and the demands of modern economic life.
