In the second class of primary school, I did a presentation on Operation Blue Book. UFOs. Since then, UFOs have always been on my radar. That brings you into multi-dimensions, parallel universes, alternate realities, time travel, the paranormal, etc. Our limited spectrum The question is always at which frequency or spectrum we are operating. That […]

I am a big fan of Barry O’Reilly. His “Unlearn” is a classic. That’s why I picked up “Artificial Organizations: Build Better Judgment, Speed, and Results with Human and Machine Intelligence”. A must-read for leaders. Efficiency? According to McKinsey’s State of AI 20254, nearly 80% of organisations say efficiency is the primary objective of their

I wrote a book about AI and have come to the conclusion that natural intelligence (in all its forms) is infinitely smarter than AI. A combination of both, natural intelligence augmented by AI, would be a perfect combination. Hence, “You Already Know: The Science of Mastering Your Intuition” by Laura Huang. Intuition Intuition is a

Here is what I wrote: Transformation economy We are living more and more in an intangible economy, in which the greatest sources of

I was expecting something like the “Genesis code“. A book about altering genomes, fluid, programmable biology and about how we are hacking Darwin.”Superconvergence: How the Genetics, Biotech, and AI Revolutions Will Transform our Lives, Work, and World” is more serious. “It is the bio-economy stupid” at a lighting speed we can barely comprehend. The pace

Sangeet Paul Choudary is the author of “Platform Revolution”, a book about platforms. “Reshuffle: Who Wins When AI Restacks the Knowledge Economy” combines platforms with AI in a very interesting way. It is a difficult book to read, but I would say it is essential to read if you are in the world of AI.

“Could Should Might Don’t: How We Think About the Future” by Nick Foster is an excellent book. As a fellow futurist, I made copious notes. The brass tacks of the book is that the way we see the future is determined by our framing. And our framing lack nuance, detail and colour. Focus on the

The BANI framework—Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible—is the new language. The age of chaos. Complete unpredictability. Very hard to base a strategy on. Or even decisions in real time. The constant butterfly effect. Predicting the future is pointless It is about adaptability, resilience, dexterity, ambidexterity and future fitness (my own programme). Using future-back thinking, narrative, leadership,
