The corporate world is not so different from the world of Westeros. Whether you’re pro Lannister or Dothraki, backing the Iron Fleet or fighting for the North, or even Team White Walkers, one thing each group has in common is the fact they are all united under one leader. What is the leadership lessons we can learn from GoT?
Our reasons for participating at the HBF Run for a Reason this year could maybe not even be counted on one hand. There are many reasons why we wanted to participate. Our own personal health was of course one of them, and Team Illuminance was signed up for the Blackmore’s 12 km run on this crisp Sunday morning in Perth WA.
“Someone once said that you can’t give to others what you yourself don’t possess. I feel that if you are in a fortunate position where you have achieved something for yourself, you have a responsibility to pass that on top others and help others achieve the same.”
Radio interview with CEO Nilesh Makwana, by VisAbility Radio on Demand by Kenneth Phua.
The hiring process is like a box of chocolates – you never know what you’re going to get. But when resumes start coming in, it is easy to stick to what they know and pick your favourites. They play it safe, knowing what they like and thinking that familiarity will tick all the boxes the same as it did before, but what if a Turkish delight could actually fit the role better than another Cadbury milk chocolate?
There can be good and bad to most things in life; it all depends on what path you follow. Some tech giants are starting to pay attention to the good. Our CEO Nilesh Makwana has been published in Entrepreneur Asia Pacific, addressing Tech for Social Impact, how we now have the power to change humanity for the better and that this responsibility should not be taken lightly.

Let’s be honest: some days are slightly more fun than others. Thursday 28th March was one of those days, where the Illuminance team had plenty to celebrate. For one, it was both our CEO’s birthday and our Junior Project Managers’ birthday. Second, we welcomed a new team member AND a student from the Illuminance Training program that ran earlier this month joined us for her first day as an intern at Illuminance!
illuminance Solutions collaborated with University Hall to give a one-day course; “Office 365 in the Workplace” to a group of Aboriginal and Torres Islander youth currently studying at the university. The training and unique collaboration aimed to equip the youth with essential job-readiness skills in current technology designed to improve personal and professional productivity. A Saturday well spent!
Illuminance and University Hall share a vision to provide training and internship opportunities that can lead to employment for our local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Committed to developing sustainable and ongoing apprentice and trainee opportunities in the ICT sector for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, we offer quality services in a safe environment that fosters equality, diversity and unity for all.
Having had a look back on 2018, we can conclude that it was for us at Illuminance Solutions a very eventful year. We launched new products and Illuminance Training kicked off; we said goodbye to some staff members and welcomed new ones; we supported West Tech Assemblage again; we celebrated birthdays; we had a thank you party and many different people visited our office, of which we have now stayed in since the end of 2017.
