“The business was still there when I got back” was the ah-ha revelation of John, a senior retail operations leader who dared go on holiday for two weeks without his cell phone. “In fact” he added, “my staff have grown as a result of taking decisions without me and...
It has been said that we ‘don’t see the world as it is but rather we see the world as we are’. This is very true and it also happens to be the first step along the pathway towards emotional intelligence. It is the gateway to recognising that we each have lenses...
What if we could empower people everywhere to have the courage and conviction to do their small bit or big bit to change the world? What if through the power of quest we created a culture where people believed they could make a difference? We would craft more...
In Sheryl Sandberg’s excellent book, Lean In – Women, Work, And The Will To Lead, she writes of an experiment done in 2003 by Columbia Business School professor, Frank Flynn and New York University professor Cameron Anderson. Their experiment was to do with workplace...
VR – Virtual Reality will be the next generation’s Facebook. Just as 3-D printers are now starting to be serious disruptors, having moved from the ‘sci-fi’ edge, so too will that be the trajectory of VR. With the launch of the 2015-16 NBA season in America, the NBA...

The Internet of Things is the new industrial revolution. It's part of an era-shift taking place in history, driven by extraordinary computing power, unprecedented access to information, and a social web that connects us not only to each other, but also - eventually -...
One of the macro trends in today's world is that people are living longer. This has a number of implications in a variety of areas, including our careers. When we lived into our 70’s or 80’s we ended up working for 30 or so years. If however, as the trends indicate,...
