Gender equality in all organisations is a necessary goal — it leads to better thinking, better performance and better outcomes.  We can all play a part by focusing on local, practical steps.  Male champions of change are critical in this regard, helping to drive the adoption of actions that lead to lasting and meaningful changes in the workplace.  I am looking forward to playing my part.  If we all take small steps but make it a priority, this necessary goal will be within reach.  As we often say in Australia, from little things, big things grow.
