Today on the Business of School podcast, we're joined by Lucas Filer, one of the co-founders of Compass —a platform that, over the past 15 years, has grown from a bold idea into a core administration system used by thousands of schools across Australia and beyond. In this conversation, we’ll hear how Compass was shaped by real-world school challenges, the relationships that informed its development, and how a vision of reducing complexity and improving school efficiency continues to guide its future. This episode offers practical insights into how a software platform built for schools can support schools to achieve their strategic goals.
