We’ve been playing with ways to add energy to outbound. One idea on the table: a personalised AI avatar, ready to scale, fully automated, and bang on brand. Before deciding whether it’s worth doing, it makes more sense to show it than explain it. So Clare, this one’s for you. Mark is one of the […]
This post was sparked by a thoughtful question from a General Counsel during a recent client session. She didn’t just raise a good point – she reminded me how rarely we talk about ethics in any meaningful way. And how urgently we need to! The speed of change is unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. New […]
I’m working at Manchester City Stadium today. It seemed like the perfect spot to ask a future-facing question. Humanoid robots just ran a half-marathon in China. No injuries. No fatigue. Football’s bound to be next. (Quite a few falls and a bit of smoke emerged though!) So… if machines start playing better than we can, […]
What We Learned (And What’s Next) This week we ran the first Being Future Ready LinkedIn Live. Over 150 people signed up. It felt like the kind of conversation people were waiting for. Nick Saalfeld hosted brilliantly. We didn’t just skim over tools or trends. We got into the real stuff. The questions that keep […]
As we dive deeper into the AI era, here’s one to watch: Hyperlocalisation. Imagine AI understanding your street, your neighbourhood – down to the tiniest details. Dynamic pricing at a farmers’ market based on fruit ripeness. A café opening earlier on rainy mornings because the data says locals stay close to home. Traffic automatically rerouted […]
When Facebook bought Instagram in 2012 for $1 billion, it had just 13 employees. Fast-forward to the AI era, and here’s a thought: Could a solopreneur, backed entirely by AI agents, build a billion-dollar company alone? Five years ago, I’d have called it science fiction. Today, it feels like a real possibility. AI agents are […]
In the film, Sarah Connor says, “𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙣’𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙚𝙩.” Kyle Reese replies, “𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 40 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨.” Well… here we are in 2024. Robots that move like us. Learn like us. Cost less than you’d think. The question isn’t if they’re coming – it’s how much closer they’ll get to us. […]
2025 is about upping my game. I’m ramping up interactivity for keynotes and workshops, with five fresh topics. (Details to follow). Here’s a sneak peek at a new prototype: audience-generated 3D holograms. People come up with ideas – in this case, “a futuristic gadget that doesn’t yet exist.” AI then transforms their words into a […]
I recently teamed up with respected speaker business consultant, Maria Franzoni, to create a series of short Zoom interviews exploring the impact of AI, future trends, and the exciting opportunities ahead. Towards 2028, AI’s impact on jobs won’t just be a fringe fear – it’ll likely be a major election issue. With global tensions rising […]
I recently teamed up with respected speaker business consultant, Maria Franzoni, to create a series of short Zoom interviews exploring the impact of AI, future trends, and the exciting opportunities ahead Wondering which jobs will thrive, evolve, or disappear in the AI era? Let’s have a look. Some roles are safe – anything that leans […]
