Today, organisations that thrive are those that foster a culture of curiosity. Encouraging curiosity empowers teams to question the status quo, explore innovative solutions, and stay ahead of emerging trends. By promoting an environment where employees feel encouraged to ask "what's next?" and seek learning opportunities, companies can adapt more swiftly to technological advancements and market shifts. This mindset drives innovation and cultivates resilience, enabling organisations to turn challenges into opportunities. Preparing for future technological trends requires more than just adopting the latest tools—it demands a workforce that is curious and agile. A culture of curiosity fuels engagement, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and creative problem-solving, all of which are critical for navigating the complexities of technologies like AI, blockchain, and quantum computing. By investing in curiosity through training, open communication, and a safe space for experimentation, organisations can build a future-ready workforce that embraces change and drives sustainable growth.In this episode, Paulina Rios Maya, Head of Industry Relations, speaks to Andrew Grill, author of Digitally Curious: Your Guide to Navigating the Future of AI and All Things Tech, about the future of work and the integration of AI.

Guest post by Andrew Grill, author of "Digitally Curious: Your Guide to Navigating the Future of AI and All Things Tech" In today's fast-paced technological landscape, instilling a sense of digital curiosity at work has never been more urgent. The rapid evolution of AI, blockchain, IoT, cloud computing, and other emerging technologies means that businesses must adapt quickly or risk falling behind more agile competitors in adopting these innovations. Digital curiosity empowers employees to explore these technologies proactively, fostering an environment where innovation thrives, and a digitally curious workforce is better equipped to navigate these complexities responsibly. My new book Digitally Curious offers hundreds of practical strategies to cultivate this mindset and skillset which can be easily integrated into daily routines. Here are six simple ways to do so in the workplace. 1. Embrace Continuous Learning A commitment to lifelong learning is foundational for becoming digitally curious. It's crucial to stay updated with the latest technological trends and advancements. Set aside a few hours each week to explore new technologies and digital tools. This could involve reading technology sections of newspapers, subscribing to tech journals like Wired or MIT Technology Review, listening to business-themed technology podcasts or enrolling in short courses such as the Oxford Artificial Intelligence Programme. By doing so, you can stay ahead of the curve and bring innovative ideas to your organisation. Continuous learning is a cornerstone of digital curiosity because it allows you to adapt to the rapid pace of technological change. The speed at which AI technologies have developed in the last 12 months required a complete rewrite of many sections of my book. This illustrates the necessity of keeping abreast of technological advancements to remain relevant and effective in the workplace while emerging technologies are evolving at a speed rarely seen before. 2. Experiment with New Tools Hands-on experience is essential for understanding the potential impact of technology on business processes, and you should actively experiment with new digital tools and platforms. AI tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity.ai, or Otter.ai can give you a sense of what is possible today. Using these tools allows you to discover new ways to enhance productivity and efficiency in your role. You could save on average two or more hours per day just by using these tools, and who wouldn't want a whole day back in their diary each week? 3. Foster a Culture of Curiosity Creating an environment that encourages curiosity is vital for digital transformation. Organisations should promote a culture where employees feel comfortable asking questions and exploring new ideas without fear of failure. This can be achieved by organising hackathons, workshops, or brainstorming sessions where employees can collaborate and share their insights on digital trends. Such initiatives not only foster innovation but also empower employees to take ownership of their learning journey. If your organisation doesn't already provide access to tools such as Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT, ask if you and your team can be the first to experiment with them, then feed back your experience to the rest of the organisation using your internal collaboration platform, while also encouraging the organisation to be more digitally curious. 4. Implement Digital Curiosity Challenges and Digital Show & Tell Sessions Challenge yourself and your team to take on digital tasks, such as automating a workflow, using AI to enhance productivity, or improving cybersecurity practices. This hands-on approach pushes you to learn by doing and encourages others to stay digitally curious. To further engage your teams, why not organise a monthly or quarterly "digital show-and-tell" where employees present a new tool, app, or tech discovery that's helped them? This fosters a culture of curiosity and knowledge sharing. Y...

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week, I'm reflecting on a great conversation I had with Andrew Grill a little while ago. Andrew is an experienced corporate leader and a former IBM Global Managing Partner. He has launched and run technology companies in Europe and Australia and worked with (and for) some of the world's leading companies, including Vodafone, Nestle, BBC, American Express, and Unilever. He is also a seasoned speaker and has presented at four separate TEDx events. He speaks to and consults for organizations to develop their strategy around digital disruption, social selling, the workplace of the future, emerging technologies, and digital diversity.     THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… believers of Andrew's motto: if you want to get digital, you have to be digital.    TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… Andrew and I live in the thought leadership space and share similar viewpoints on innovation and disruption. We both believe that the nature of work is changing, especially as technology continues to lead our lives and as Millennials begin to speak their voices in the professional world.      WHEN YOU WORK FOR A COMPANY AND YOU WANT TO GROW YOUR DIGITAL FOOTPRINT… never forget that your employer doesn't own you. No matter what, we're all building our personal brands. Of course, it's helpful to be attached to a brand that already has a following, but you're still growing your own brand while you're renting your time to that employer.      LET YOUR DIGITAL SELF FLOURISH… sharing your life online and being a consumer/seller in the gig economy is not going anywhere. When you (and businesses ) begin to see this, you can shape your digital self around this changing workforce. Andrew believes that when you allow your digital persona to morph between private, public, and inside the organization, there will be broken rules but more human interaction. Are you ready for this kind of disruption?    Running Time: 29:43   Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani Online: Facebook  Twitter  LinkedIn    Find Andrew Online: Website  Twitter  LinkedIn 

Today, we're taking a look back at our 100th episode with Andrew Grill. We spoke to him back in June of last year all about Digital Curiosity, Andrew's book, which came out at the end of 2023. We here are at the top of the hype cycle on AI (Generative AI in particular) it is hype that is prompting and causing government action. This is now mainstream. And Andrew had a brilliant, brief and aha! take on Apple's Vision Pro. For SciFi fans, there are even attempts to seek answers for the future from great authors! Andrew doesn't shy away from the risks and the needs for regulation, but does caution against hysteria. We are responsible, “we have a role” in where this goes. This is both reassuring and thought provoking, and as usual with Andrew, he motivated us to get off the sidelines and engage with technology and digital opportunities for our own work, innovation and strategies. Leaders need to dedicate time to being digitally curious. There are costs to leaving this up to everyone else. Enjoy this episode and whet your appetite for playing with and discovering new digital and technological opportunities for your business!

In this episode, we look at a report I wrote in partnership with Vodafone UK to examine how 5G Standalone (5G SA) could transform UK over the next 5-7 years.To talk more about the findings, I spoke with Nicki Lyons, Vodafone UK's Chief Corporate Affairs & Sustainability Officer.Some of the predictions in the report include:We'll see the end of Video Assisted Referee (VAR) and poor off-side decision-making thanks to smart ball tech, pitch sensors and player wearables enabled by 5G Standalone (5G SA) – meaning more time is devoted to the beautiful game and less time on disputes.Connected clothing will mean trainers will ‘talk' to each other and collate style and sustainability-inspired looks from other feet on the street, powering your very own AI-powered style guide – enabling fashionistas to discover styles and express themselves in new ways.Working with Vodafone, in a new report, leading futurist Andrew Grill predicts how 5G SA could transform the things the UK loves most in the next five-to-seven years – from retail and sports to gaming and entertainment.The report supports the growing need for 5G SA infrastructure in the UK, as the proposed Vodafone and Three merger paves the way for UK 5G SA leadership with a pledge to invest £11 billion and reach over 99% of the UK population with 5G SA by 2034.More on Nicki LyonsNicki became Director of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability in October 2021.

Andrew's new book, coming out later this year, is titled Digital Curiosity. Yes we are at the top of the hype cycle on AI (Generative AI in particular) it is hype that is prompting and causing government action. This is now mainstream.

What if you could unlock the full potential of Generative AI and its impact on your life and company? Get ready for a fascinating fireside chat recorded live in front of an audience at the offices of leading international law firm RPC during London Tech Week.The Actionable Futurist Andrew Grill was interviewed on stage by Helen Armstrong, a Partner in RPC's IP and technology disputes team.The discussion examined the risks, issues, and ethics surrounding this powerful technology and the roles played by giants like OpenAI, Google, and Facebook in this rapidly evolving space. This episode also covers the current applications and trends of generative AI in the retail and consumer sectors and how it's already making a mark on our daily lives. As we navigate the complex world of AI regulation, Andrew shared his insights on explainability, transparency, trust within AI systems, and the implications of the UK Government's white paper on AI. The episode also touched on the challenges of IP rights, GDPR, ongoing AI model training, and the importance of auditing systems to prevent bias.Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation as we uncover the incredible potential of generative AI, its ability to unleash creativity, and the crucial need for ethical use of this game-changing technology.We covered a lot of ground in this episode, including:Generative AI and Its ImpactChat GPT's definition of a futuristWhat is Generative AI?Why AI is so popular nowThe risks of using Generative AIWhy ChatGPT so confidently provides incorrect answersHow ChatGPT actually worksChatGPT data sourcesIs ChatGPT that useful?The “magnet of mediocrity”Where is Generative AI being used?The “enthusiastic always-on intern”The need for critical thinkersThe responsible use of AIChallenges and Considerations for Generative AIThe AI black box problemThe challenges for regulation around AICan we trust AI?Regulation areas for AIGovernment response to AI regulationAre you involving your risk department around AI?Recruitment considerations for AI teamsThe future of Generative AIEnterprise AI ImplementationEnterpriseGPT challengesWill AI provide us with more free time to be creative?Actionable items for tomorrowYour two tribes and the opportunity for a hackathonWhy AI comes at a costIs your data “AI ready”?Will AI replace human creativity?Adobe's AI productsAccenture's use of AI generated imagery in a reportGenerative AI will drive more creativityAudience questions includedWho is responsible for ensuring AI training data is validWill AI disrupt or strengthen the economy?The environmental impacts of Generative AIThe difference between human emotional intelligence & creativity and replicating thisAs Generative AI improves, will it become more creative?Episode ResourcesMore on the eventYour Host: Actionable Futurist® & Chief Futurist Andrew GrillFor more on Andrew - what he speaks about and recent talks, please visit ActionableFuturist.com Andrew's Social ChannelsAndrew on LinkedIn@AndrewGrill on Twitter @Andrew.Grill on InstagramKeynote speeches hereAndrew's upcoming book

This week, we decided to revive the 2018 podcast with Andrew Grill as we bring up public speaking, the rough journey of becoming a public speaker and such. If you are in DevRel you are probably a public speaker, or want to be one. Listen to Andrew for some great advice. Andrew Grill calls himself a ‘practical futurist'. He is a professional writer, blogger and conference speaker—which means he gets paid to talk. And he wants to help you do the same. You'll learn why the first 90 seconds of a talk are vital, how clichés kill your talk, and how to tell when you've hooked your audience. Andrew also gives us tips on how to survive when the tech lets you down (something many of us can identify with). He shares his insights on why Blackberry failed, why we need to broaden our understanding of quotas, and why digital diversity is the next big idea in tech. In this day and age, we can use smart devices to perform better as speakers, so we touch on how technology can benefit us when adversity kicks in. Learn more about Andrew here.

Conferences are full of speakers saying that the latest tech will change the world, but that often leaves smart people even more confused. Knowing about trends is irrelevant if you don't know what to do about them. To learn how to cut through the tech hype, listen to this episode with Andrew Grill, the Actionable Futurist. Andrew began his career as an engineer, became a Global Managing Partner at IBM and today is a keynote speaker on tech & business trends. Learning notes from this episode: “To understand the technology, you need to play with it,” Andrew says. Using new software or devices at home makes you comfortable with trying new technologies. (e.g. try TikTok! you'll see what an engaging algorithm really feels like and you'll have a laugh) Innovation theatre is a problem if there is no clear understanding why a company has a digital strategy. This is usually a leadership issue, not a tech issue. The job title of Chief Digital Officer or Chief Data Officer is designed to be obsolete in the next few years. As all of our experiences are a mix of digital and analog, having a separate job title for digital will not make sense as companies become more fully integrated.

This week's The Hack episode, hosted by Leon, Paul and Jo, features the brilliant guest Andrew Grill to discuss his career as an actionable futurist, what that entails and how technology is transforming the world around us. Looking into the future professionally. In this fascinating episode, Andrew Grill discusses his career as a futurist and what it takes to look into the future and predict what might happen. He takes the team back to when he started in Adelaide, Australia, writing an essay for his degree on the future and a brave new world and how this led him towards actionable futurism. He describes how he has to stay months, rather than decades, ahead of his clients and how near term futurism can be more practical and useful than flying cars. Transformative technology. The team discuss recent innovations in the technology sector, like Facebook's new Metaverse, NFTs and office communication tools like slack. They also talk about the challenges that come with a rapidly expanding tech sector, the new skills we have to learn and how hard it can be trying to keep up. They also talk about the huge way technology can improve lives and make things easier, with online video calls instead of flights across the world, but also the joy of finally getting back on stage. As always, the recent pandemic has shifted communication online more than ever before and it has also brought a range of challenges for people as they rethink their careers. A collaborative workspace. Talking about the power of collaboration, the way technology enables this and how to work out loud, they look at how businesses can communicate better. They also think about the leaders of the future, whose first phone was an iPhone and how they might use technology to open communication throughout organisations. They talk about having the right IT support in place to handle the recent surge in online communication, from cyber security measures to cloud platforms. Learning from experience. Whether working with major companies like IBM, Telstra and Optus to helping young startups, Andrew Grill shares his unique experiences and insights and how we can all try and embrace the future together.

In this episode of the Smart Community podcast, I have a great conversation with Practical Futurist, Andrew Grill, who you may remember from Episodes 38 and 136. This podcast episode is another audio from the YouTube series I've been doing catching up with previous podcast guests during the pandemic.In this chat, Andrew and I discuss how the pandemic has not only brought in a whole lot of new rules and social norms, but it's also accelerated his futurist predictions. Things that he was predicting to change such as in the future of work, have come to pass incredibly quickly. Andrew tells us how the disruption is a huge opportunity for change but is also exposing the weak points in every ecosystem, and increasing the digital divide. We talk about that digital divide particularly in the education space, where already disadvantaged students are being further disadvantaged, and teachers who were already comfortable with technology are more advantaged and able to be more effective than their colleagues.Andrew also tells us what has an hasn't changed for him, including the information he is learning and sharing, the types of work he does, and the mode of delivery and tools for engagement in his work. We talk about the pros and cons of working from home, the mental health impacts and what managers are learning now that they're in it with their employees, plus using business tools like Zoom for personal social connections and the need for digital hygiene due to the digital fatigue we're all feeling. Andrew then shares his predictions on the future of work, including the emergence of a third word space that is neither home nor office, and the increase of professional gig workers. We finish our chat with Andrew's three practical tips for coping while working from home and potentially physically isolated.As always we hope you enjoyed listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed making it!Find the full show notes at: www.mysmart.communityConnect with Andrew at Andrew.London or on Twitter @andrewgrillConnect with me via email: hello@mysmart.communityConnect with My Smart Community via LinkedIn or Twitter and watch on YouTubeThe Smart Community Podcast is produced by Perk Digital.

You'll hear these guests talk a lot about the various stakeholders and humans at the centre of work, and the way technology is changing that, so how do we strike that balance between the technology and automation side of things, with the people, the jobs and most importantly the human brains and bodies and how they actually function best. Creativity and critical thinking is a key theme, as is the importance of keeping the focus on communities, on investing in the people and investing in collaboration opportunities within workplaces, within cities, within communities. The future of work is a really broad topic and each of these guests are focusing on a different part of it, but it's a fascinating conversation.

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova.   This week, I have a great conversation with Andrew Grill.  Andrew is an experienced corporate leader and a former IBM Global Managing Partner. He has launched and run technology companies in Europe and Australia and worked with (and for) some of the world's leading companies including Vodafone, Nestle, BBC, American Express, and Unilever. He is also a seasoned speaker and has presented at four separate TEDx events. He speaks to and consults for organizations to develop their strategy around digital disruption, social selling, the workplace of the future, emerging technologies, and digital diversity.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… believers of Andrew’s motto: if you want to get digital, you have to be digital.   TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE… Andrew and I live in the thought leadership space and share similar viewpoints on innovation and disruption. We both believe that the nature of work is changing, especially as technology continues to lead our lives and as Millennials begin to speak their voices in the professional world.   WHEN YOU WORK FOR A COMPANY AND YOU WANT TO GROW YOUR DIGITAL FOOTPRINT… Never forget that your employer doesn’t own you. No matter what, we’re all building our personal brands. Of course, it’s helpful to be attached to a brand that already has a following, but you’re still growing your own brand while you’re renting your time to that employer.   LET YOUR DIGITAL SELF FLOURISH… Sharing your life online and being a consumer/seller in the gig economy is not going anywhere. When you (and businesses ) begin to see this, you can shape your digital self around this changing workforce.   Andrew believes that when you allow your digital persona to morph between private, public, and inside the organization, there will be broken rules but more human interaction. Are you ready for this kind of disruption?   Running time: 29:30 Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani on social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn   Find Andrew on social: Website Twitter LinkedIn

In this episode of the Smart City Podcast, I interviewed the Practical Futurist, Andrew Grill. We discussed a number of interesting topics that fit into the Smart City space.

We also discussed what digital diversity is and why it is important on our decision making boards, and also why the new GDPR, or General Data Protection Regulation, should actually empower us to use our data how we want to, and to our advantage.
