Australia’s building and construction sector faces margin pressures, labour shortages, and rising regulatory complexity - but strategic leaders see opportunities for growth through operational discipline and customer-centric innovation. Here are ten practical strategies to boost profitability, align with market shifts, embrace AI, and elevate client experiences. Position your business to stand out in 2025 by merging efficiency with exceptional service, building trust, and driving measurable impact in a rapidly evolving industry environment.

Andrew ‘’Billy’’ Baxter, the CEO & Founder of 24 Hour Business Plan, sat down with Vijay Solanki, Senior Advisor at 24HRBP, to talk about why passion alone isn’t enough to drive success in the NFP sector, and why a strategy wake-up call is needed.

There’s no shortage of passion in the not-for-profit world. From the arts to homelessness, education to sport, purpose pulses through the sector. But if there’s one message that comes through clearly in my recent conversation with seasoned executive and long-time NFP board leader Andrew “Billy” Baxter, it’s this: passion isn’t a strategy.

Outlining the strategy, establishing cultural alignment, executing the plan and how the plan is structured are the four non-negotiables businesses need for growth, the Netwealth Accelerate Summit heard.

Jarther Taylor, a Senior Advisor at 24HR Business Plan and Adjunct Professor at UNSW, told the Netwealth Accelerate Summit that this starts with strategy – what the business does, as well as why and how it does it.

For many, offshoring still conjures up images of low-cost call centres and entry-level roles. Artificial intelligence, meanwhile, is often imagined as a one-size-fits-all fix for business inefficiencies.

In today's dynamic business world, a single career path is becoming a rarity. For professionals over 50, the chance to pivot and thrive is more significant than ever. Andrew Baxter offers a compelling and first-hand guide for building a fulfilling career beyond the corporate world.

There is a misconception that influencer marketing is solely a business-to-consumer (B2C) tool. But the use of influencers in business-to-business (B2B) marketing is on the rise.

Traditional approaches often view B2B marketing as either highly technical or overly rational, thereby missing out on creating authentic, engaging content. But Friday’s B2B truck buyer is the same person as Saturday’s B2C car buyer.

This gap in understanding and implementation hinders many businesses from fully leveraging B2B influencers to connect on a personal level with decision-makers. Consequently, the potential for authentic engagement and education through influencers remains largely unrealized.

Planning Doesn’t Need to Be Complicated—Just Clear

In a world where strategy often hides behind jargon and endless slide decks, the businesses that win are the ones that keep it simple: a shared plan that everyone believes in and knows how to act on.

Done right, business planning isn’t a box-ticking exercise—it’s a growth engine.
