Diversus

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our first Diversus webinar, Accelerate Productivity with Copilot.

We were grateful to see such strong interest from organisations looking to better understand how AI can be applied in practical, everyday ways. The level of engagement throughout the session was fantastic, with plenty of questions, discussion and curiosity around what Microsoft Copilot can do today.

During the webinar, attendees saw live demonstrations across Outlook, Teams, Excel and Word, along with practical examples of how businesses are using AI to improve productivity, reduce manual effort and support their teams.

One of the biggest takeaways was that while AI is moving quickly, organisations are increasingly focused on implementing it thoughtfully, with the right foundations, governance and adoption strategies in place.

We're excited to continue these conversations and look forward to hosting more events in the future.

Some of the Diversus team recently joined Amazon Web Services to volunteer at Melville Cares & Western Suburbs Cares - The Heart of Community Care as part of a community tech support initiative organised by Ellie Orton, GAICD.

The session focused on helping seniors with everyday technology challenges, from troubleshooting devices and navigating apps to learning how to identify scam emails and stay safer online.

It was a great opportunity to use technology knowledge in a practical way while spending time with members of the local community.

Thank you to AWS, Ellie and all the volunteers involved for supporting such a meaningful initiative.

Two days at the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Summit and one thing was clear across almost every conversation. Organisations are moving beyond experimentation and starting to focus on what sustainable cloud and AI adoption actually looks like.

Our Directors, Dien and Claude, spent time connecting with partners, industry peers and AWS leaders including Shawn Male and Chris Barnes to discuss where businesses are heading next.

A few themes consistently came up throughout the event:

𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱
Many organisations are now reviewing cloud environments that scaled quickly over the last few years. The focus has shifted from migration to governance, visibility and long-term operational efficiency.

𝗔𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
AI adoption is no longer theoretical. Businesses are starting to assess whether their current cloud and data environments are actually set up to support AI workloads in a practical, scalable way.

𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲
As environments become more complex, governance becomes harder. Strong visibility across platforms continues to be one of the biggest priorities for organisations trying to reduce risk while maintaining flexibility.

Good conversations, valuable insights and plenty to take away from the week. Thanks to the AWS team for bringing the community together.

Copilot is one of the fastest adopted tools in Microsoft 365. But many organisations are still working out where to begin.

Join us for a webinar, where our AI and Microsoft specialists walk through how Copilot works across tools your team already uses, including Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

We’ll explore practical examples of how organisations are starting to use Copilot to reduce manual work, improve productivity and get more value from Microsoft 365.

Safe to say… things got competitive at our Laser Tag team event. What started as “just a bit of fun” quickly turned into full tactical mode and surprise ambushes.

Turns out we’ve got a pretty competitive team. Shoutout to Cameron for taking out top spot on the leaderboard.

A good reminder that getting the team together outside of work still matters!

Most AI strategies look great on paper in month one.
Month 12 is where you find out if the foundations were right.

The organisations seeing real value from AI usually have a few things in common:

⚡ They defined success before deployment
🙏 They designed humans into the process from the start
⭐ They invested in adoption and change, not just the technology

The organisations struggling with AI often don’t have bad technology. They just haven’t embedded it properly into the way people work.

What’s been the biggest AI adoption challenge in your organisation so far?

Next week, our Directors Dien Tang and Claude De Lucia will be heading to the Amazon Web Services Partner Summit Sydney 2026 on 12 May.

They’ll be joining partners and industry leaders from across the country to explore the latest conversations around cloud, AI, data and emerging technology.

If you’re attending the summit, feel free to come say hello. We’re always happy to connect with people across the industry and chat about what’s happening in the technology space.

Modern slavery is a complex, global issue. The data behind it needs to be just as robust.

We partnered with Minderoo Foundation and Walk Free to redesign the platform that underpins the Global Slavery Index.

The challenge wasn’t just scale. It was usability.

As the dataset grew, the process became harder to manage. More time spent navigating the system. Less time generating insight.

So, we rebuilt it around how people actually work.

Simpler workflows. Clearer structure.

A platform designed to support collaboration across global contributors.

The result:

✅Processes reduced from hours to minutes

✅Improved collaboration across teams and researchers

✅Faster, more reliable insights to support decision-making

Because when the data improves, the impact does too.

The Global Slavery Index informs action across more than 170 countries.
Getting the platform right matters.
