Capabilities List

In his work across various sectors, Mark Pesce assists clients in capitalising on opportunities presented by new developments while mitigating potential disruptions.

AI (Generative AI, AI workflow transformation, Safe & Wise use of AI tools, etc.): Clients bring forth ideas that are refined into actionable plans.

Finance (digital currencies, payment systems): Collaboration involves guiding clients through the consumer-led transition to electronic and digital payment systems, including ‘neobanks’ and ‘challenger’ banks. This encompasses digital currencies, ‘smart money’, and emerging technological capabilities in financial industries.

Energy (generators, distributors): Pesce aids clients in understanding and strategising for changes in energy generation, distribution, and usage amid Australia’s transition towards widespread electrification.

Education (primary through tertiary): The focus is on assisting educators in reimagining their processes as ‘lifelong education’, emphasising the cultivation of enduring mentoring relationships. This is facilitated by leveraging the latest educational ‘tutors’ (such as Khanmigo) to support skills and capacity building throughout individuals’ careers.

Future of Work (HR, C-suite, builders): There has been a significant pivot away from office-based work towards a ‘work from anywhere’ paradigm, reshaping the dynamics of homes and cities. Achieving equilibrium in this new environment involves considerations of how and where individuals work, play, learn, and grow.

Entertainment and Media (creatives, producers, distributors): Pesce has a track record of training media professionals to adapt to fundamental shifts in media distribution and production methods over the past generation.
