DBrief Podcast by Ai Group
DBrief, the new monthly business podcast from Australian Industry Group is for business people with a keen interest in understanding the connection between their individual business operation and the broader issues of Industry Development, Industry Policy and new government regulations.
Via an engaging and informal interview format, DBrief will investigate:
- What is happening in Industry Policy, and what does it mean?
- Where are these issues going, and what do I need to know?
- What do I need to think about and learn, in order to stay abreast of- or even ahead of- the emerging issues and developments?
By understanding the answers to these questions, business operators can stay ahead of changes and market movements, and be better prepared for Digitalisation, Decarbonisation and Diversification in their business and their market sector.
The podcast is designed to provide Ai Group members and other business owners with a useful and timely insight into the changes in policy and regulations, and what is means for business.

Reform and Red Tape
Productivity reform is in the air, as Treasurer Jim Chalmers announces the guest list for his Economic Reform Roundtable. But what exactly do we mean by productivity and how do we achieve it?
Louise sits down with Dr. Jeffrey Willson to discuss what the elements of productivity actually are, and the factors inhibiting a faster, stronger economy. Jeff explores the key components of Ai Group’s recent submission to the Productivity Commission’s Five Pillars Inquiry.
An unavoidable part of the productivity discussion is business tax reform. Jeff mentions Ai Group’s latest research report which lays down several, actionable measures the government could take now to make a simpler, lower, more productive tax system.
