About Anthony Rice Session:
Keynote: You're Optimising the Wrong Thing: The Science of Workforce Re-Engineering for Mortgage Brokers
Location: Main Stage, Rosseau Ballroom
What You'll Learn:
In a rapidly evolving mortgage industry, the leaders who win are not those who work harder — but those who design better operating models.
In this energetic, humorous, and case study-driven keynote, Anthony Rice draws on his experience at the forefront of the Australian mortgage brokering industry’s evolution to introduce Workforce Re-Engineering — a framework he pioneered to help businesses unlock hidden capacity, improve profitability, and scale without adding complexity.
Attendees will learn how to redesign their execution layer, leverage global talent effectively, and build a business that scales profitably — without increasing burnout or operational drag.
Key Takeaways:
- Why most businesses hit a growth ceiling — and why traditional solutions like hiring, delegation, or technology often fail to restore leverage.
- The Workforce Re-Engineering framework — how to redesign roles, segment execution, and build scalable operating layers.
- How leading businesses are leveraging global talent — not as a cost tactic, but as part of a deliberate workforce strategy.
- Where AI fits (and where it doesn’t) — understanding how AI amplifies a well-designed model rather than fixing a broken one.
- How better workforce design drives profitability and valuation — and what this means for brokers looking to scale or exit.
