Disruption comes in many forms, but rarely does it arrive simultaneously and globally.

The pace of change has been accelerating for decades, yet many of us find ourselves as now not only locked down, but also locked out of our ability to change. So how do we move on to a sustainable future?

When Zuckerberg ushered us into the Metaverse recently, many felt that he was brushing over Frances Haugen’s whistleblowing insights by focusing on a rebrand of the company, rather than the shortcomings.    The competitive race for innovation vs our ability to integrate continues to be one of humanity’s greatest dilemmas – many would argue we have not progressed in closing the gap because those who are at the cutting edge lack the patience and empathy for those at the lagging edge and vice versa.    Whilst this has always been so, as life accelerates faster into a digital age with all manner of other disruptions, the costs of separation are higher than ever and chaos...

The word Transformation is often used to cover types of change and Med-tech will change fundamentally in the coming years. With new regulations, the advent of AI, self-directed patient care and much else will create pressure on current operations to shift into new ways of working to remain sustainable.

“Leadership in a team setting is much less about command and control, and more about getting the most out of a diverse and experienced group of individuals.” – ERNST AND YOUNG, 2013 

Recently there has been a plethora of discussions shaped by the changing nature of how we work. Technology evidently has become an integral part and even more, the focus has been driven towards understanding and improving the human experience. This has resulted in copious amount of pressure onto the shoulders of employers. The social responsibility of employers is to enhance employee experience in order to create a better society. The way people work is no longer fit for purpose. The working environment indeed stretches beyond and dissolves in the way people live, thus, influencing and defining the quality of people's lives. By providing access to good opportunities for training and...

In my last blog, I wrote about the importance of thinking systemically and sustainably, in order to be best prepared for the future. Advances in technology and the workplace transition from on-premise to remote, to now a hybrid of the two, promises disruption after disruption, but what does this mean for the organisation of the future? Beyond talk of digital human and driverless cars, how can humans relate to the future? Here are five things to bear in mind as your organisation prepares for future change.

The Difficulty with the Big Shift to Sustainability and Systemic Seeing.

All around us are the very real signs that we are in a massive transformation, and people are at different stages of grasping the enormity of it. Gleicher’s Formula for change speaks to the fact that change is possible when people have a clear vision of the future. However, what happens when the future isn’t clear? Or is it that the picture we are being shown is simply too overwhelming?  

As we emerge into a post-digital, post-pandemic world we have seen how hyper-connected our societies, industries and environments have become. The well known metaphor of the butterfly flapping its wings and causing a storm on the other side of the world has become painfully evident over the last year. Whether it is due to digital transformation, globalisation, the impact of climate change or the pandemic we see how everything is connected.
