Have Your Say: Join the New Podcast Series on AI, Cyber & Leadership

20 Mar 2026

Business conditions are shifting faster than ever, from rising costs and global uncertainty to increasing cyber risks and the growing presence of AI in the workplace.

In response, Business NSW, in collaboration with Microsoft, is launching a new podcast series for business owners, directors and senior leaders, focused on practical insights and real-world conversations. 


What we’ll be talking about

Each episode tackles the questions leaders are already asking (or wish they had asked earlier), including:

  • AI for business in a time of uncertainty
  • AI is staff retention – use it or lose them
  • And many more practical, leadership level discussions

How you can get involved

We want this podcast to reflect the real challenges and perspectives of NSW businesses, and there are three easy ways to participate:

  1. Be a guest on the podcast: Share your experience, lessons learned, or perspective as a business leader navigating AI, cyber risk, growth and change.
  2. Submit questions or topics: Tell us what you want answered – the awkward questions, the practical concerns, or the things no one explains clearly.
  3. Help interview the experts: Join us as a co interviewer and help put the questions on the table that matter most to business owners.

You don’t need to be technical – just curious, thoughtful, and willing to engage.

Why this matters

This podcast is about helping NSW businesses make better decisions with confidence – around AI, cyber security, data, and leadership – without feeling overwhelmed or left behind.
