In 1996 he was chair-person of the advisory council producing the first national report on the state of Australia's environment. He is a patron of Sustainable Population Australia.

In 2002 he was awarded a Centenary Medal for contributions to environmental science and won the Eureka Prize for promotion of science.

Global Agenda is an online team-based game by Hi-Rez Studios developed using Unreal Engine 3. The game went live on February 1, 2010. In April 2011, Global Agenda was re-released as a free-to-play game, introducing Elite and Free Agents in addition to an in-game cash shop featuring Agenda Points and Tokens.
Global Agenda mixes a science-fiction setting with a secret agent backdrop, leading the developers to refer to the game genre as spy-fi.
The game is set on 22nd-century (2155) Earth in the wake of severe global disaster. An Orwellian government called the Commonwealth tyrannically rules Earth with an army of artificially intelligent drones. Earth's population is under one billion people and suffers from a shortage of habitable land. Advanced technology allows limited regions of Earth to be environmentally cleansed and habitable. As land becomes available there is intense competition to colonize the area and control that region's technology. This competition sets the stage for much of the game's campaign action.

Ian Lowe - The Lucky Country Book Launch - Speech Can We Reinvent The Lucky Country? In 1964, Donald Horne described Australia as 'a lucky country run mainly by second-rate people who share its luck' in his iconic book. Now, more than five decades later, internationally respected scientist and environmentalist Ian Lowe shows that little has changed after generations of short-sighted leadership. In his frank and fearless way, Lowe assesses the state of Australia in four key areas: our environment, population and society, geographical position, and unrelenting pursuit of economic growth. Highlighting that the global economy and the environment are in crisis, Lowe illustrates the need – and the opportunity – to transform Australia into the world-leading model of sustainable development th...

This Interview is from our series Crash & Burn with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Albuquerque.
“Purpose driven organisations win the customer over” – interview by John Smibert. Sales teams need to be committed to a clear organisational purpose in order to achieve. Such a commitment is what makes us want to come to work – to deliver the outcomes that excite us. It’s what makes us want to work together to collaboratively achieve. I asked the guru of sales purpose and intent, Ian J Lowe, why this is important and how we should achieve it. Firstly Ian emphasised the growing importance of employee trust and engagement. He discussed research that shows a very low engagement across many organisations and how this has a significantly negative impact on productivity and satisfaction in those enterprises. Ian then outlined the sorts of things we need to do to achieve a high level of enga...
“How to sell in a volatile, uncertain and complex world” – interview by John Smibert. In recent years the USA military realised that the world they operate in has changed and they needed to change with it. To explain the changed world they use the term VUCA – volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. In this discussion Ian J Lowe tells us that businesses are living in a VUCA world. We as salespeople need to understand what this means to our customers – we need to become part of the solution versus part of the problem. He says that if we do this we can help change the world. He outlines how we need to change in order to help our customers with the VUCA situation – to work with them to navigate themselves through this difficult business world. As CEO’s and sales leaders we need to ...
“How do we change our mindset to authentically focus on the customer?” – interview by John Smibert. In previous discussions with Ian J Lowe he has put persuasive arguments that we salespeople and our organisations need to change our mindset to have the right intent – to be fully and authentically committed to the customer. But that’s tough. We have always been measured on achieving orders and revenue and rewarded for that – not on creating value for the customer. Our focus has always been on closing the sale. So I asked Ian how we can go about changing our mindset – develop the right intent in order to develop the right behaviour – to avoid Jekyll and Hyde behaviour in front of the customer. Ian made some very interesting recommendation as to how we do that. View the full interview ...

In this 3 minute interview Ian Lowe talks with John Smibert about how 'Sales Process' - no matter how good - will create negative results if the 'Sales Purpose' is not clearly focussed on creating value for the customer. Ian is the CEO of Go-Givers Australia. He is an expert in sales transformation and a specialist in why people sell.

Apparently, Rob Lowe knows something we all don't -- because 32 years later, he still looks exactly the same.
“Inspire your customers with your authentic leadership” – interview by John Smibert. In our many discussions with Ian J Lowe he has reminded us that our deeply embedded ‘intent’ determines our behaviour. We need to ensure we have to right intent in order to behave correctly with our clients. This means the all encompassing intent to help others, to give, to create value for our customers. I suggested to Ian that our intent is influenced by the way we see ourselves. Ian agreed. He said “I think we really need to examine the roles that we play in our own lives, and also in our professional lives, I think we need to see ourselves as leaders”. He then went on to explain that in the changed business world – that of greater volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity – we need lead...
In this short interview Ian Lowe talks with John Smibert about how leading salespeople build trust. In order to help all salespeople learn from the leaders I asked Ian what they do differently. Ian’s said what they always do “is create value for the people they meet. He emphasises that it doesn't exist in the context of a sales interaction. It’s a life skill as much as it is a sales skill”. Ian is the CEO of Go-Givers Australia. He is an expert in sales transformation and a specialist in why people sell.

Australia’s population increases by one person every 81 seconds, while both urban and rural demographics continue to shift. If ‘demography is indeed destiny’, as Malcolm Turnbull once said … what vision is guiding our growth, and why? Enter Question time. Through a full hour of Q&A; with our expert panellists, we explore the many facets of the population question in Australia, and how they intersect with the broader implications of a burgeoning global population. Has there been a true governmental strategy since Rudd’s Big Australia? What are the current trends in Australia’s population growth, and how have they changed? And what advances are we seeing in food, water and energy systems to support communities around the world? Host Madeleine Morris facilitates your discussion with panellis...

I wish you bluebirds in the spring, to give your heart a song to sing,
And then a kiss, but more than this, I wish you love.
And if you like lemonade to cool you in some lazy glade,
I wish you health, and more than wealth, I wish you love.
My breaking heart and I agree that you and I could never be,
So with my best, my very best, I set you free.
I wish you shelter from the storm, a cozy fire to keep you warm,
Most of all, when snowflakes fall, I wish you love.
I wish you shelter from the storm, a cozy fire to keep you warm,
Most of all, when snowflakes fall, hot time, I wish you love.
