About Us

THE STORY OF ADAPT

Our Founder Jim Berry was inspired to create a safe space for executives to ask questions and receive expert answers. Since our initial agenda to bring executives together and give them the Edge, our 7 years of collecting rich local data has positioned us to become an unparalleled research advisory. And we’re giving it back to our executive community.

In the wake of this realisation, we rebranded from SE-Corp to ADAPT. We’re talking about shifting mindsets, pushing boundaries, evolving companies and inspiring positive commercial evolutions, to help you Rise Above.

We’re for bringing like-minded people closer together, not leaving them to fend for themselves. And we’re for helping people actively predict future forces, not passively react to them.

ADAPT delivers professional services built on knowledge, relationships and trust.

In 2018, we interviewed >10,000 local C-level leaders, and we hosted over 2,300 executives across 6 national Edge events and 100 private boardroom roundtables.

Our mission is to equip the busiest leaders of Australian enterprise and government with the knowledge and competencies they need to gain advantage.

Our vision is to enable a more capable and productive Australia for now and the future.

With deep understanding of modern business challenges, we source advice from world class executives ahead of you on the same journey, alongside global expertise from the likes of MIT, McKinsey, Forrester, CSIRO and other local knowledge partners.

We combine that with the pooled wisdom and experience of thousands of local C-level peers in our growing community. The shared challenges and perspectives of these trusted connections highlight what you need to know and do now, and what lies ahead.

Our strategic partners include the world’s leading IT brands and local vendors, for whom we consult and develop campaign strategies to differentiate, access and influence.

Our position of privilege is to then sit as the objective platform connecting you all together - saving everyone time, accelerating positive outcomes and enabling advantage.

I see this as the ‘Rolls Royce’ of conferences. Good quality, good content and I feel that ADAPT has built up strong relationships and partnerships with MIT and other relevant organisations. Thales Australia, CIO Edge

You do meet organisations with all different ideas… it’s the mix of ideas that are important to have. Department of Defence, CIO Edge

I have to continually learn, myself, and look for the best ideas around the planet. As I come to CIO Edge, they have some great speakers talking about great things. I always pick up a number of nuggets which I can then plug back into my own thinking and journey DBS Bank, CIO Edge
