This podcast was previously recorded in March 2023. The actionable recommendations apply even more today! Customer experience teams are deploying chatbots and AI assistants earlier in the service journey because leadership wants faster resolution and lower cost per contact. That shifts more first interactions to automated flows. Customers are encountering decision-tree prompts instead of human conversation. That produces frustration and forgettable moments instead of loyalty-building moments. This episode addresses that operating pattern with a clear alternative: design AI around emotion and memory, not just efficiency. The conversation features Brian Solis, VP of Global Innovation at Salesforce, a digital anthropologist and futurist who has advised thousands of startups and enterprise organizations on innovation and transformation. He brings a human-centered lens to AI, automation, and the future of work, and he shares how leaders can use technology to build better relationships, better experiences, and better business models without losing the human element. What You Will Learn Replace "cheap automation" with human-centered design by mapping each AI touchpoint to an intended emotional reaction and a memorable moment. Close the skills gap for the jobs of the future by investing in soft skills such as creativity, listening, critical thinking, empathy, and leadership. Use AI to reimagine the customer journey and touchpoints, not just to cut cost, so relationships deepen instead of thinning out. Protect creativity and deep work by rewiring daily habits to reduce distraction and restore flow. Run an "undercover boss" moment to feel the customer and employee experience, then adjust processes so people feel understood and valued. Have a question or thoughts to share?

Only 18% of banks have integrated AI workflows. Everyone else is automating the past. Most banks and credit unions are using artificial intelligence to make yesterday's work faster, then measuring the result with yesterday's numbers. Brian Solis, Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow, and Dave Wright, Chief Innovation Officer at ServiceNow, call this the iteration trap and argue it is the same failure that has consumed digital transformation. Their new book, Infinite: How Visionary Leaders Transform Today's Businesses into AI-Forward Companies, published by Wiley in 2026, draws a line between an AI-enabled company that uses AI to do what it already did and an AI-forward company that uses AI to do what it could never do before. By their own research, only about 5% of companies have reached the second group. In this conversation with Jim Marous, Solis and Wright explain why an organization chart hides the handoffs where value stalls and why a work chart exposes them, how savings from iterative AI should fund the innovative AI that grows revenue, and what a chief executive should put in front of a board that has never approved an investment without a payback period. Wright describes a government delegation that planned to deflect 90% of its citizen calls and could not answer why. Solis describes 75 chief executives who admitted, privately, that they are expected to know what to do and do not. Marous brings the discussion back to banking throughout, from the quarterly reporting cycle that rewards cost-cutting to the risk avoidance culture that new bankers are trained into on their first day. He closes with his own prediction that the next wave of consolidation among banks and credit unions will be decided by readiness rather than by size, with the sharpest question in any acquisition being how much friction the acquired institution brings.

If you think your insurance group is moving fast enough to outpace market friction, a quick look at Ireland right now might prove otherwise. After attending the recent Transformation Summit in Dublin, I wanted to dive deeper into why global insurance groups are choosing Ireland as the premier pilot market to stress-test high-risk, high-reward business models.In my latest episode of the Tech People Podcast, InsTech.ie CEO Gary Leyden breaks down the power of a "neutral convener" architecture. By connecting 24+ competing insurers, regulators, brokers, and tech hubs under one roof, the Irish ecosystem creates an unprecedented density of collaboration.We discussed:Shifting from simple digital front-ends to deep, core enterprise architecture.Navigating rigid procurement and compliance hurdles for agile startups.Leveraging international cross-border linkages to scale localized proof-of-concepts globally.If you're an executive looking for a blueprint on industry-wide change velocity, you won't want to miss Gary's insights.#InsuranceInnovation #DigitalTransformation #Insurtech #ExecutiveLeadership

About This Episode Artificial intelligence has quickly become one of the defining forces influencing business, but many organizations are still approaching it as a cost-cutting exercise rather than an opportunity to create new value. In this episode of the Future of Work® Podcast, Frank Cottle welcomes Brian Solis, Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow, to discuss why today's AI moment represents far more than another technology cycle. Brian explains why organizations stand at a crossroads. One path focuses on improving yesterday's business through automation and efficiency. The other embraces AI as a catalyst for innovation, new business models, and entirely new forms of value creation. Throughout the conversation, Frank and Brian explore leadership, trust, workforce reinvention, AI augmentation, entrepreneurship, organizational culture, and the growing responsibility leaders have in guiding people through unprecedented technological change. The discussion also examines why smaller organizations may be uniquely positioned to compete in the AI era, how AI can expand human capability instead of replacing it, and why curiosity, imagination, and courage will become defining leadership qualities. For executives, entrepreneurs, and workplace leaders preparing for what's next, this episode provides a thoughtful roadmap for building organizations that grow through innovation rather than fear.

Brian Solis, futurist and digital anthropologist on his bestselling book Mindshift: Transform Leadership, Drive Innovation, and Reshape the Future. The Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow, and a special advisor to the United Nations Global Innovation Team is who Forbes has described as one of the most creative and brilliant business minds of our time. He explains his term ‘cognitive Darwinism,' as spicy thinking about the future workplace where AI can lead to perpetual mediocrity if not used strategically. AI, he says, is about enhancing human capabilities and building a better workforce, but the trick is maintaining agency in the agentic age.

Discover practical insights and inspiring stories from Ken Stern, author of Healthy to 100, on how social ties, lifelong learning, intergenerational engagement, and innovative policies can promote longevity and well-being. This episode explores groundbreaking research and global best practices to help you age actively, purposefully, and connected.About KenKen Stern is a nationally recognized expert on longevity andaging. He is the founder of the Longevity Project and hosts the popular “Century Lives” podcast from the Stanford Center on Longevity. Stern is a best-selling author and has been a frequent contributor to a wide variety of publications including Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, and Slate. He is also the former CEO of NPR. He lives in Washington, D.C.Key TakeawaysA person is Seattle or Chicago is now likely to live afull decade less in good health than someone in Tokyo or Singapore.Humans are evolutionarily bred to want to be part of a group and see loneliness as a risk. Loneliness has a direct biological impact on your health, roughly equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.Japan, Singapore, Korea, Italy, and Spain have made social health infrastructure a part of public health policy, especially for older adults. Each has a different approach that is reflective of their own culture and values.You are actively engaged with people when you are social. If you are socially disconnected, you're likely stuck at home, not moving, and not getting social cues from others about how to take care of yourself. In Korea lifelong learning is a constitutional right. Learning in community is important. Lots of people in the U.S consider themselves lifelong learners, but they often learn online or in a solitary way.An organization called the Silver Genzai Human Resources, represents a million Japanese older workers, age 65 to about 102, placing them in part-time work.Plunging birth rates and declining immigration in this USare constricting the traditional labor force. American corporations should be thinking ahead but are stuck in the idea that younger workers are smarter, cheaper, and more technologically savvy. Many cultures value intergenerational relationships because they benefit both young people and older adults. One of the strongestpredictors of success for at-risk youth is having a positive relationship with an older adult outside their immediate family. Creating opportunities for different generations to connect supports healthier outcomes for all.The idea of segregating generations is a weird Americanism that you don't see elsewhere. Countries like Singapore are getting rid of senior centers and replacing them with centers for all ages.

This episode is a grounded debrief from being boots on the ground at Intersec Dubai, not a second hand summary or a glossy highlight reel. Intersec matters because it shows where global investment, policy attention, and operational thinking are actually heading long before those ideas trickle into day to day firefighting. From advanced PPE and industrial scale suppression systems to drones designed to integrate directly into command structures, the show sits at the intersection of technology, risk, and real world application. Walking the floor, speaking directly with manufacturers, sector leaders, and practitioners from around the world, the focus was simple. What is coming next, what problem is it trying to solve, and does it genuinely improve firefighter safety and effectiveness rather than just looking impressive on a stand.Intersec is not just about kit. It is about perspective. Hosted at the Dubai World Trade Centre, in a city built on scale and intent, the event forces you to look at the fire service through a wider international lens. Alongside innovation, there were conversations about health, cancer prevention, leadership, policy, and how different nations are quietly evolving their approach to risk. This episode reflects on what stood out, what challenged assumptions, and what is worth bringing back into honest conversations at home. It will never fully capture the scale or energy of being there, but it offers a clear snapshot of what was seen, what mattered, and why staying curious and present in these spaces is essential if we want the fire service to move forward with intent rather than drift on habit.See discussed here :HAIXDE-WIPEDRONESNAFFCOFF TURBINE MINIMAXWILLIAM WOOD WATCHESINTERSEC DUBAIAccess all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HERE our partners supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingFIRST TACTICAL- tactical gear for elite operatorsMSA The Safety CompanyJAFCOIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD Send us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

We're joined by Mehran Gul, author of The New Geography of Innovation, who paints a detailed picture on how innovation power is shifting from Silicon Valley to unexpected places - China, Singapore, Switzerland, and beyond. As a former advisor at the World Economic Forum and World Bank, Mehran has spent years studying the frontier of technological development, institutional evolution, and national strategy. His research spans eight countries across three continents summarised in his new book which challenges Western innovation orthodoxy—and offers a compelling vision for a more distributed, more inclusive innovation future. We dive into: -How Chinese talent is shaping the Global AI landscape -Why innovation isn't just unicorns and startups, but includes state-led infrastructure -Singapore's invisible excellence: no unicorns, but global digital leadership -Switzerland's surprising dominance in R&D and public transport innovation -The cultural and structural flaws in Europe's startup scene -What stable governance, national purpose, and civic trust do for innovation -What people get wrong about AI, disruption, and the future of work Key Takeaways from the Episode: 1. China Is No Longer a Copycat: China's MSRA lab published the most cited scientific paper of the 21st century—training a generation of AI researchers that now dominate the global talent pipeline. 2. Singapore and Switzerland Show Us a Different Model: Forget unicorns. These countries focus on systems-level innovation—urban planning, transport, digital governance—that directly improve lives. 3. Government Can Drive Real Innovation: Singapore's GovTech and digital twin strategy prove that with the right institutions, even small countries can lead the world. 4. Europe's Cultural Challenge: While Europe has capital and talent, its innovation suffers from risk aversion, private mindsets, and a fear of visible failure. 5. Stock Options as a Cultural Lens: The difference between PayPal's billionaire mafia and Skype's 11 millionaires reveals how equity culture influences ambition and scale. 6. Unicorns Are a Poor Innovation Metric: Mehran critiques the obsession with unicorn counts and valuations. True innovation should be measured by quality of life, productivity, and institutional resilience. 7. The Real AI Debate Isn't Job Loss: We overhype automation and job loss. The real question is: who controls the models, who benefits, and how do we ensure global equity? 8. Innovation Will Be Multipolar: The future isn't a US-China binary. Countries like Canada, South Korea, and Estonia are becoming quiet powerhouses of tech progress. 9. Infrastructure Is Innovation: Switzerland's trains, Korea's chip fabs, and China's urban ecosystems all show that building real-world infrastructure is just as innovative as launching apps. 10. Innovation Must Be Contextualized: What works in San Francisco doesn't always work in São Paulo or Jakarta. Mehran urges us to localize innovation strategies for real impact.
