Be future ready

The future is coming…fast. Technological change is exponential...and mind-blowing. At the same time the world is facing massive existential and moral challenges.

As a business leader or entrepreneurial thinker, you know that you and your enterprise need to respond…. and quickly. Or you’ll be left behind.

But it’s hard to keep up… to recognise, understand and adapt to all the change needed to survive and thrive.

I recently attended a UtopiaX week-long 'retreat' in the Hunter Valley which was, without doubt, one of the best education experiences of my life.

I must admit I see many things through a different lens since the course earlier this year and it has fundamentally changed my perspective and awareness on a number of big questions! I am presenting my moonshot idea to a few of the exec in a fews weeks, it has been a slow start but I still think this is something that will make a fundamental to our business so I hope to get some support and buy in to pursue it in a more fundamental way.

My Focus Areas

Inspiring Creativity and Innovation: Moonshot Thinking

Moonshot Thinking

Moonshot thinking has inspired innovation throughout history. To create, we need to imagine, then execute. Our potential is unlimited.

Moonshot thinking is about opening the mind up to possibility.

Breaking or moving the boundaries that we set ourselves.

Making what seems impossible, possible.

I’m fascinated by the complexity of the human brain and the wonder of human creativity.

How improvisation and play can release you from ego and allow ideas to flow.

How science is finding or confirming ways we can encourage ourselves and our organisations to change our thinking and our actions.

Work with me to change mindsets.

Exponential and Converging Technologies

Exponential and Converging Technologies

We are currently in what is being called the 4th Industrial Revolution. When rapidly evolving technologies are merging or interacting across the physical, digital, and biological spaces.

I am astonished by how these technologies are being used to impact the world for good.

However, we must ensure our human values stay at the forefront when we develop and use them.

- Robotics
- Biotechnology
- Blended/Extended/Augmented or Virtual reality
- Autonomous vehicles
- Nanotechnology
- Quantum computing
- 3D printing
- Internet of things

And much, much more...

Ethics and Governance: Keeping Human Values at the Centre

Ethics and Governance: Keeping Human Values at the Centre

How can our organisations truly reflect the ‘goods’ we as individuals really value?

Ensuring the way we run our enterprises is in tune with our greater human values, is no longer a nice to have – it’s essential.

As well as the great challenge of climate change, there are other moral issues organisations need to address.

We can no longer ignore our responsibility for the harmful effects certain business practices or technologies have on communities and individuals at home or at a distance.

We are being asked to take a stand, to not be bystanders to injustices. To be the change we want to see in the world. 

So, how do we embed true values-driven behaviour throughout an organisation? How do we predict potential unintended consequences of our activities? Are Chief Ethics Officers the way to go?

I am on a path of continuous learning. I share those learnings with you.

Better Together: Connecting to Individual and Collective Purpose

Better Together: Connecting to Individual and Collective Purpose

The energy and positivity you release when you discover your personal or organisational purpose is immense. Suddenly everything makes sense. You feel passionate and integrated, and your way forward is clearer.

The power amps up when you connect your purpose into a higher collective purpose.

The United Nations’
17 Global Sustainable Development Goals are a visionary challenge to all sectors of our community to contribute to creating a better planet. One where no one is left behind.

I am excited by how individuals and organisations can use their unique skills and knowledge to collaborate and solve these global challenges.

I challenge you to join in.
