"For Aboriginal people to be active participants in the design of both their current and future worlds, the first shift is one of economics. Money is quite simply a ‘unit of change'. The more money in the hands of Aboriginal people and communities, the more opportunity there is for change to happen."
- The Cultural Connection Code

Kia Dowell and Chantal Harris of the Cultural Connection Code believe that by adapting lessons learned from Aboriginal Elders and creatively applying these to the workforce, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, the result is the emergence of natural thought leaders and entrepreneurs.

The goal is to merge the ‘community' world with the commercial world by leading and supporting both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal organisations into a new economy based around co-operation and collaboration.

They believe this new way of thinking may just be Australia's secret weapon for business success in our region.

Chantal and Kia are presenters at the Indigenous Business, Enterprise and Corporations Conference to be held at UWA Business School from the 1-2 December 2014.
