SUMMARY:Concept to Commercialisation

This practical webinar will guide start-up and scale-up manufacturers through the critical stages of transforming an idea into a commercially viable product. \nThe session will be led by Josh Jeffress\, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Design Anthology. Josh will outline the practical considerations essential for developing products that are not only innovative but also commercially viable\, scalable\, and ready for market. \nKey Topics to Be Covered: \n\nDon’t lead with the solution: Problems are where the gold is\, but only if someone cares enough to pay for it.\nUnderstand the landscape: Know the rules\, the handbrakes and the pathway before you burn the budget\nAdoption: Innovation without adoption is just a good idea!\nCommercialisation starts on day one: Don’t wait until the product is ready to work out who’s going to buy it.\nBuild a system to capture learning: Capture the messy stuff.\nCreate boundaries: Flexibility is useful. Drift is expensive.\nStay focused on where the value is: Don’t reinvent the wheel\, don’t miss the spin-out\, and don’t get distracted from the bit that actually matters.\nWhat makes a successful entrepreneur: What we’ve learnt is that successful entrepreneurs aren’t necessarily the people with the best original idea.\n\nAbout Design Anthology: \nDesign Anthology is a Hunter-based design\, engineering and manufacturing consultancy helping organisations turn complex ideas into commercially ready products. We combine strategy\, industrial design\, engineering\, prototyping and production know-how into a single integrated process\, supporting clients from early concept development through to testing\, production readiness and scale-up.

We help clients reduce risk\, improve certainty and make informed decisions at each stage of development\, whether they are creating a new product\, improving an existing one or preparing for manufacture. \nAs an ISO 9001-accredited business\, we focus on quality\, repeatability and continuous improvement. Our fixed-cost\, clearly defined project stages give clients transparency around scope\, deliverables and investment\, while our collaborative approach keeps them actively involved from concept to completion. \nWe are passionate about regional economic development\, sustainability and strengthening sovereign manufacturing capability. Through trusted industry partnerships across manufacturing\, supply\, testing and specialist technical services\, we deliver innovative\, practical and scalable products ready to succeed in market \nDon’t miss this opportunity to hear from Josh and to gain practical insights into turning innovative ideas into commercially successful products.

SUMMARY:Sustainable change: Building inclusive workforces for the future
DESCRIPTION:As JobAccess marks its 20th anniversary\, please join us for this free national webinar for employers and service providers. \nThis webinar will explore how disability employment can be embedded as a sustainable\, long-term workforce strategy. \nHear from: \nEmily O’Brien\, Organisational Development Consultant\, Powerlink Queensland\nLara Pike\, Team Leader People Systems and Insights\, Powerlink Queensland\nGeorgia Miller\, National Manager\, JobAccess\nKarla Fernee\, Manager – National Disability Recruitment Coordinator\, JobAccess \nIn this session you will gain: \n\nPractical pathways to embed inclusion within an organisation\nA clear understanding of the long-term value of inclusive employment for employees and employers\nAwareness of the supports available through JobAccess to help along the way\n\nOne in five Australians lives with disability\, representing a substantial and valuable segment of the workforce. However\, awareness of disability employment pathways and supports remains limited across both employer and community settings. This gap continues to restrict access to meaningful employment and prevents organisations from engaging with a diverse and highly capable talent pool. \nAddressing this gap is not only a matter of inclusion—it is fundamental to building a sustainable\, future-ready workforce. Enabling equitable participation strengthens organisational resilience\, supports workforce continuity\, and contributes to long-term economic and social sustainability. \nJobAccess is the Australian Government’s national hub for disability employment support. JobAccess services are delivered by genU\, on behalf of the Department of Social Services. JobAccess provides free\, expert advice and support for people with disability\, employers and service providers. \nSince 2006\, JobAccess has helped break down barriers to disability employment. It supports people and businesses through practical\, tailored solutions that lead to better outcomes. \nRegistrations close: 12 Aug 2026\, 6pm AEST.
