Last week, CodeBlue hosted The IT Leadership Challenge, bringing together IT leaders from organisations across New Zealand to discuss the real world scenarios that technology teams increasingly face.

Rather than presentations or vendor pitches, the session focused on collaborative discussion, peer learning and practical problem solving.

Together, we explored questions such as:
• What would you do if you arrived on Monday morning to discover your organisation had been hacked?
• How would you respond after uncovering months of shadow IT?
• What happens when a key team member with critical organisational knowledge resigns?
• How would your organisation prove its security controls under tight deadlines?

What made the afternoon particularly valuable was hearing the different perspectives in the room. While every organisation faces unique challenges, many of the themes were universal: resilience, governance, risk management, documentation and the importance of planning before a crisis occurs.

A sincere thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the discussion.
We're also grateful to HPE for hosting us at their Commercial Bay office and Ingram Micro for their support in bringing the event together. Partnerships like these help create opportunities for technology leaders to connect, share experiences and learn from one another.

We look forward to continuing the conversation.

Moving your CRM to the cloud involves more than choosing a new platform. Your CRM relies on connected data, secure identities, reliable cloud infrastructure and an IT environment that can support the way your teams work.

That is why CodeBlue is joining Microsoft and FUJIFILM Process Automation for a practical event on modernising from legacy CRM to Microsoft Dynamics 365.

The session will help organisations understand:
• Where legacy CRM systems may be costing time and money
• How cloud CRM can reduce manual work and improve visibility
• What needs to be considered across data, integrations and user adoption
• Why security, identity and infrastructure matter during migration
• How connected customer data can create a stronger foundation for automation and AI
• What migration support may be available for eligible organisations

Join us to hear from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Technical Specialist Michael Baldwin, Irene Direnko Smith from FUJIFILM Process Automation, and Matt Bourne from CodeBlue.

Thursday, 10 September 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Microsoft Auckland office

Lunch will be provided. Reserve your seat here: https://hubs.la/Q04tNLVN0

"You can't outsource accountability."

That was one of the standout messages from our final RiskAware Executive Lunch of the year, held yesterday at The Court Theatre in Christchurch.

Throughout the discussion, a common theme emerged: while technology plays an important role in managing cyber risk, leadership, governance and culture ultimately determine how organisations prepare for and respond to incidents.

A huge thank you to our panellists:
🔹 Jase Tibble, CEO of Cook Allan Lawyers, for sharing a refreshingly practical perspective on cyber risk as a business issue rather than an IT issue. His comment that accountability can't be outsourced resonated strongly with the audience, particularly in a world increasingly reliant on third-party providers.

🔹 Murray Strong, Independent Director and Governance Advisor, for once again bringing a governance lens to the conversation and challenging leaders to think critically about accountability, preparedness and organisational resilience.

And thank you to Mathew Jose, CodeBlue CISO, for expertly moderating the discussion and keeping the focus on the questions boards and executive teams should be asking themselves.

A special thank you to our partners and for supporting the RiskAware event series across Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

One message stood out above all others: cyber resilience is not achieved through technology alone. It's built through leadership, governance, preparation and informed decision-making.

What would you do if your organisation faced a serious cyber incident tomorrow? That was one of the many thought-provoking themes explored at our RiskAware Executive Lunch in Wellington yesterday.

One thing became clear throughout the discussion: cyber resilience isn't built during a crisis. It's built long before through governance, preparation, testing and clear decision-making.

A huge thank you to our panellists for sharing their perspectives and experiences so openly:

• Graham Dyer, CEO of Boulcott Hospital, for providing practical insights into leadership, preparedness and balancing organisational resilience with operational realities.

• Murray Strong, Independent Director and Governance Advisor, for bringing a governance lens to the discussion and challenging leaders to think beyond compliance and towards accountability.

And thank you to Mathew Jose, CodeBlue CISO, for expertly guiding the conversation and keeping the discussion focused on the questions that matter most to boards and executive teams.

What made this session particularly memorable was the engagement from the audience. The discussion extended well beyond cyber security controls and into topics such as:
• How boards can gain confidence that their organisations are genuinely prepared, not just compliant
• The role of cyber insurance in an organisation's risk strategy
• How often leadership teams should practise responding to incidents
• The opportunities and risks presented by AI, and why many AI conversations quickly become governance conversations

Thank you also to our partners ConnectWise and Fortinet for their continued support of the RiskAware event series.

Most importantly, thank you to all the CEOs, directors and senior leaders who joined us and contributed to such an open and practical discussion. The quality of the questions and conversations reinforced why these forums are so valuable.

Next stop: Christchurch!

Cyber risk is no longer just an IT conversation. It's a leadership conversation. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Park Hyatt Auckland yesterday for our RiskAware Executive Lunch.

What made the event special wasn't the venue or the lunch. It was the quality of the discussion and the willingness of leaders to openly share their experiences, challenges and perspectives on cyber risk, governance and organisational resilience.

A special thank you to our panellists:
- Cheyne Chalmers, CEO, St Andrew's Village, for sharing her practical insights on navigating cyber risk in a highly regulated environment and the importance of preparedness, culture and leadership.
- Murray Strong, Independent Director and Governance Advisor, for challenging us to think differently about cyber risk as a boardroom issue, not just a technology issue.

And thank you to Mathew Jose, CodeBlue CISO, for facilitating a thoughtful discussion that kept the conversation grounded in real-world leadership decisions.

We are also incredibly grateful to our partners ConnectWise and Fortinet for supporting this event series across New Zealand. In particular, thank you to Matt Taylor, James Gear and Karla Van Der Sluis for your ongoing partnership and commitment to helping organisations strengthen their cyber resilience.

Most importantly, thank you to every CEO, director and executive who took time out of their busy schedules to join us. The openness of the discussion reinforced something we've known for a long time: while every organisation faces different challenges, the need for strong governance, preparedness and resilience is universal.

We're looking forward to continuing the conversation in Wellington and Christchurch over the coming weeks.

Sustainability in Action 🌱

This afternoon, we welcomed students from AUT - Auckland University of Technology to the FUJIFILM Business Innovation New Zealand office for a sustainability workshop.

During the session, students learnt about the sustainability of our devices, the steps we take to reduce environmental impact, and how we refurbish used devices to give them a second life and keep valuable resources in circulation.

A huge thank you to the AUT students for their enthusiasm, engagement, and willingness to learn more about FBNZ and the ways we're doing our bit for the planet. Together, every small action can make a big difference. 🌏♻️

GPCME Rotorua was a great reminder of just how much pressure healthcare practices are under right now.

We spoke with more than 140 healthcare professionals across the event, from GPs to clinic owners and practice teams. Different roles, but very similar challenges.

Too much admin, systems that do not talk to each other, and growing expectations around security and compliance. These are not just technology issues. When systems are slow or disconnected, it directly affects how care is delivered.

That's where we come in.

Helping healthcare providers simplify their systems, improve visibility of their data, strengthen security, and reduce the manual work that slows teams down.

The free socks may have started the conversations, but what stood out most was how open people were to finding a better way forward.

Healthcare is a priority for us, and we are committed to helping Kiwi providers work smarter, stay secure, and keep care running.
