🌍 Flat-Earth Thinking in an AI World: 3 Habits Every Leader Needs.
This week, Jude Foulston highlights a simple truth: Way too many people simply don’t think before they share content. Whether it’s fake news or heartwarming stories, AI is making it really difficult to know what’s real and what’s not. The danger isn’t in the tech – it’s in our “flat-earth thinking,” where we fail to challenge our thinking.
The good news is that Keith and Graeme discuss this danger of flat-earth thinking in their ‘Leading in a Changing World’ book, and we’ve shared the chapter with the 3 leadership habits necessary to fight this: curiosity, courage, and commitment here. Leaders who practice these habits don’t just spot the fake, they shape the future.
* If you’re battling with how to lead with AI seemingly around every corner, and on every screen, our ‘From AI to IA’ keynote or leadership workshop is a great place to start and has been getting great reviews.
🤖 The Hidden Costs of Coding with Generative AI (And How to Go Bionic).
Generative AI is a powerful tool, but only in the right hands. Graeme recently shared his thoughts on LinkedIn, highlighting MIT’s article “The Hidden Costs of Coding with Generative AI”. In expert hands, AI boosts productivity and innovation – but when misused by amateurs, it can create serious problems and hidden technical debt. At TomorrowToday, we call this approach “Bionic”, using AI to amplify human skill, not replace it.
If you want to explore how to build a Bionic business and harness AI effectively in your organisation, our Building a Bionic Business keynote and workshop provides practical insights and frameworks. Please reach out to chat with us if you need help understanding which of our keynotes would best suit your needs.
⏩ Strategic Alert: Space Weather – Our Digital and Electronic Infrastructure’s Hidden Fragility
What if the next global blackout doesn’t come from crypto hackers, but from the Sun – and how NASA and IBM are using AI to predict space weather?
Most leaders never think about space weather. Yet solar storms can knock out satellites, fry power grids, ground flights and disrupt global supply chains – in hours. The Iberian blackout in April this year was just a glimpse of what’s coming as Solar Cycle 25 peaks. Dean shares more over on LinkedIn here.
⏰ Off the Clock with Graeme Codrington.
In their latest Off The Clock episode, Tshepiso Mehlape and Peter Mehlape sat down with Graeme Codrington (co-author of Mind the Gap), who challenges us to rethink the norms shaping our society and consider how we prepare for the future – particularly in the context of South Africa.
As he’s famously stated in his work:
1. Own your past, know your generation, choose your future.
2. Apply generational insight across life’s contexts.
3. Shrink the generational divide by understanding our differences.
In this interview, Graeme shares why he’s still optimistic about being South African – even in times like these. And as always, he reminds us that the future isn’t about predicting tomorrow; it’s about being ready to rewrite the rules when tomorrow arrives.
How are you rethinking your role in tomorrow’s world? Watch the full conversation here.
