Stream 1 | The Palladium Stage
Are you curious about the "beyond binary" future but unsure where to start? While the shift from traditional bits to quantum qubits represents a major technological leap, it is a journey we are embarking on together as a profession through the introduction of my 7 Pillars and 5 Levels of Literacy.
This session introduces a thought-provoking paradigm shift: bridging and merging the 7 Pillars of Quantum Information Capability with Australia’s 65,000-year First Nations relational recordkeeping precedent. Rather than trapping records inside static, linear corporate boxes, data operates within a continuous, self-defending Quantum Data Orbit revolving around the core gravity of Country, Kinship, Season, and Lore as it has for eons.
Linda Shave is a researcher, author and future‑focused adviser supporting the information and records profession through emerging technological change. Her work aligns with national quantum priorities that emphasise awareness, workforce capability and shared learning. Linda is known for making complex ideas accessible and has developed a practical seven‑pillar framework to help recordkeepers move beyond traditional binary systems and prepare for the quantum era. Drawing on decades of professional experience, she advocates an inclusive transition that builds literacy, strengthens job sustainability and turns uncertainty into collective opportunity.
