SME Peer Mentoring Roundtable

BackgroundASR is the only dedicated whole-of-services industry organisation and is part of the Global Services Coalition (GSC). Currently, services do not register sufficiently on Australia’s public policy radar. There has been no national research effort, and services do not feature in any of the Government’s national competitiveness strategies. Creating a national services competitiveness strategy is essential as we move away from a resource focused economy. With up to 1.5 billion people moving into Asia’s middle class over the next 15 years, Australia must ensure it is in the best position to take advantage of the opportunities at our doorstep.PurposeServices employ 85% of Australians, represent 78% of industry value-add, yet comprise only 20% of Australia’s total exports. Our purpose is to address these gaps in understanding and realise opportunities for the benefit of our members, professional service industries, SMEs, and micro-multinationals. We believe this is vitally important for all aspects of Australia’s economic, environmental, social and cultural future.

Australian Services Roundtable

Australian Services SMEs have come together to uniquely self-mentor one another in innovation, internationalisation, digitisation and growth.
Australian Services Roundtable (ASR) will provide support to small-to-medium enterprises who have managed to supersede start-up challenges but have been left afloat to navigate the big, wide multinational ocean.
ASR CEO, Alina Bain, said: "As the peak representative body of the services industry, we found SMEs are facing similar challenges, and those without support are finding it very difficult and isolating to grow their business.
This program acts as a buoy for SMEs to come together to workshop solutions, foster partnerships and broaden their focus from operational to strategic, and from domestic to international."

The group meets on the second Wednesday every month over breakfast in the CBD. Sessions are free for ASR members.
