The Conversation

By David Lockie At the Government Innovation Showcase last week, my job was to moderate a panel on Agile Innovation in Government: Is It Really Possible? And to be clear, the room was there to hear from the panellists, not me! I had a pretty formidable group to keep the conversation moving between: Jeremy Janes,…

By Euan Kennedy On 15 July, the Australian Government established a new Office of AI inside the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, with a remit to coordinate AI policy across government and develop Australia’s new national AI standards. Just over a month later, National Cabinet backed a nationally consistent framework including mandatory standards…

By Madison Steele The Brisbane 2032 Olympics will create some of the most visible, high-pressure delivery work Queensland Government has undertaken in years. There will be major infrastructure programs, new digital services, changes in demand, cross-agency projects and a very public deadline. For the people involved, it will also be a rare opportunity to work…

I’m Dave Lockie, CEO of Mojo Soup and for over 17 years, we’ve worked with government and private organisations across health, education, infrastructure and beyond, often partnering with local and state government teams to deliver and improve digital project outcomes. That gives us a pretty practical view of agile: what works, what gets in the…

On 11 August, millions of Australians will hand over a surprisingly detailed snapshot of who we are, where we live and how we work.  But where does all that data actually go?  The short version: it gets protected, processed and turned into statistics that help inform decisions about transport, schools, healthcare, infrastructure and community services.  The much more interesting version…

We’re proud to share that Mojo Soup is now officially a Microsoft Solution Partner for Business Applications. This has been a clear goal for our team because it represents the new standard which recognises capability + impact.  What it represents  Capability Our team holds all the certifications that matter across Dynamics 365, Power Platform and the broader Microsoft ecosystem based on deep expertise, applied in real environments.  Customer growth Verified outcomes where our…

Most systems are built around “defined processes.”The problem? Most organisations are still figuring those processes out as they grow. We had this exact situation with a client recently - and so we designed a solution for change rather than certainty. One of the trickier situations in a greenfield Dynamics 365 implementation is when a client…

So often we start a conversation with a client who knows they have a need, but they're not sure what the journey or end result looks like. In our world, making their unknowns, known is where we thrive. We understand, there’s a lot of comfort in a neatly defined scope and in a perfect world that’s where we’d start. However that assumes a level of clarity that…

AI is everywhere right now. And it’s moving fast.  Code can be generated in seconds. Entire applications can be scaffolded before you’ve finished your first coffee. It’s tempting to believe we’ve finally found the shortcut (the tool that replaces complexity with speed), however speed alone has rarely delivered a great outcome.  At Mojo Soup, we think about AI a little differently. Less as a replacement…

If you’ve been in a meeting recently where someone threw around words like data lakes, data lakehouse, open source frameworks, or AI pipelines, and you nodded along while secretly wondering what on earth they were talking about, you’re not alone.  Here’s the short version:  It’s the foundation of future proofed data architecture. You’re no longer tied in to one system, your data remains secure, governed and available until you’re ready to clean, organise and apply analytics or AI to unlock…
