what would improve it?
If we want to be slightly sarcastic, we could state that obviously moving maps and all the modern gimmicks don't help. Statistically this overrun of a A380 shows (at this moment), that an aircraft with such a gimmick is more prone to mistakes than the ones without (A380 movements in BNE vs mistake compared to i.e. T7 or A330).

I know, I know, it's just statistics and the A380 is a young fleet, and blah, blah, blah. Simply wanted to make you whale-jockeys jump!

Hotspots exist at many airports. We might reconsider implementing all the electronic bs that exists, it could turn out to be counterproductive. We need the jockeys to look outside to keep the big picture, up to today it is still there where it happens, not on the fancy screens.

And being in the famous down under region, we might consider a little fewer and shorter briefings, as to keep the pilots capable to concentrate to what happens in the real world, right now and outside.

Leave the superfluous talking to Ted Cruze .....
