Live from the world’s largest gathering of Futurists – the Dubai Futures Forum, Graeme Codrington and Dean van Leeuwen explored the future and the trends that are shaping the next decade.
In this Episode of Elephants in the Boardroom, they unpacked the deep shifts that are already changing how we work, lead, and connect:
● Focus is the new currency – With attention spans shrinking, the ability to focus on what matters most is a true superpower.
● Everyone and no one is an expert – AI can give answers, but expertise is about context, judgement, and the music, not just the words.
● AI is redefining friendship – As technology fills gaps in human connection, the value of authentic relationships becomes even more critical.
● Hope and wonder drive change – Tackling grey elephants requires imagination, courage, and ambition.
Recorded at the iconic Dubai Museum of the Future, this episode reminds us that the future isn’t something to predict – it’s something to create.
