CONNECT GC 2015 LACHLAN MURDOCH MURDOCH MEDIA DYNASTY Not even a broken ankle could stop Lachlan Murdoch joining us as the opening keynote speaker of the conference. As a third generation family member of the world’s largest media group, he spoke of the inspirational family legacies behind both the White and the Murdoch families. Both companies are founded on the principles of family leadership and ownership. From this solid foundation, remarkable creative forces have unfolded and continue to have far-reaching potential for the future. Both companies refused to accept the status quo and have become the outstanding leaders in their respective industries. ‘The real estate and media industries are undergoing radical change. To succeed, we need to drive the change ourselves.’ -13-
