From the BBC World Service: What lies ahead for global economies this year? We turn to China, Singapore and Germany for insights into what’s coming. And later, Leanna Byrne asks Tom Cheesewright, an applied futurist, about his predictions for the major economic workplace trends in the next 12 months.
We all have our hopes and dreams for 2025. For bankers, that includes clarity on the Basel III Endgame rules and if they will get tougher or easier on how banks calculate risk and how much cash they set aside for emergencies. The rules have been delayed in part because the initial proposals proved controversial, and led to an unlikely coalition of interests banding together to oppose them. Also on the show: The BBC’s Leanna Byrne speaks with Tom Cheesewright, an applied futurist, about what he sees as this year’s key economic workplace trends.

Welcome to the second episode of the 21CC podcast, brought to you by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB).21CC is short for 21st Century Construction, which means we'll be looking ahead to the challenges the industry faces, such as Quality and Safety, Sustainability, and Skills. In this episode 1979's Usborne Book of the Future set out what life would be like in the 2000s. How correct was it? Justin Stanton and Tom Cheesewright discuss what it got right about today, and what it means for tomorrow.[01:39][10:56] New CIOB president Sandi Rhys-Jones kicked off her presidential year with an awkward question: Why can't we give women #PPEthatfits? Hear her ideas for turning that industry blind spot into a surprising advantage.[21:57] And, in a segment sponsored by Cohesive, we hear from David Philp, chair of the CIOB's innovation advisory group, about the latest thinking on construction and “ESG”, meaning environment, social wellbeing, and governance.[19:09] CM Communities Editor Nicky Roger jargon busting BIM Dimensions
It's possible that civilization has run out of ideas for food. Instead of dreaming-up new dishes… big food is resorting to resizing to make the register ring. As eating turns to grazing throughout the day… Nestle is now selling what it calls selling smeals. Smeals. Small meals… or in their case pint-sized snacks. Often mashups... Cocoa Puff popcorn. Or Dr. Pepper Cotton Candy. In business.. they call it brand extension but it's proof we're out of ideas. However. Look what's comin' down the road. A futurist named Tom Cheesewright… yes… a guy who makes his living predicting the future… says within 20 years… we'll be eating radically different … pizza. He says the lack of water for agriculture could lead to pizza dough that uses crushed-up insects for filler. Do I need to say “lots of protein?” Your bug pizza crust will be topped by lab-grown meat… the cheese will be charred by laser zapped. And the craziest part. Not the first place I've heard this. The pizza won't come out of the oven…. but from a 3-D printer… that'll squirt tiny bits of ingredients to build a pizza one tiny glop shot from a printer head at a time…. then it's laser grilled. While it's weird a guy named Tom Cheesewright … is making predictions about pizza. For now, I think I'll stick with swiss miss lucky charms cereal… and Slurpee donutsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paul Unger is joined by Jeremy Hinds, planning director at Savills, and Tom Cheesewright to explore the reasons holding back real estate from taking the radical steps needed to challenge climate change. Takeaways There is a lack of a consensus framework in which to discuss the problems and how to address them Without sufficient policy responses individuals will increasingly put forward radical ideas which prompt counter responses and only delay the forming of a consensus Requirements to do something about climate change are very challenging – this puts people off As timeframes to act become shorter, the responses needed become more radical Short-term outlooks of voter-obsessed politicians obstruct the consensus and avoid difficult solutions Climate policy should be outsourced and made independent and objective in same way as countries' central banks often are

Change, it's said, is the only constant. And change is an area with which acclaimed author and applied futurist Tom Cheesewright is particularly familiar. He splits his time between future gazing, making predictions about what will impact business and society next, and applying those predictions to his consultative practice. Organisations ask Tom what they should be excited about, where they might need to proceed with caution, and how best to prepare for the coming months and years. In this episode, Jo Lloyd gets Tom's take on the future of printing. He discusses the impact of the pandemic on attitudes toward print and digital, hybrid working and what he calls the age of ‘high frequency change'. Tom envisions a world where businesses will have to build for adaptation, not optimisation, in order to keep up with fast-changing customer expectations. He describes a three-pronged approach to future-proofing a printing company's operations, embracing two of our Make It Mantras: Be Different and Be Agile.

In this episode of ExPEERience, it's time to look at the realities of delivering great CX in a digital space. How can you make your customers feel connected to your brand through non-human interactions? How far can you go with personalization before it gets “creepy”? And how do you give customers the same experience across multiple platforms? To help answer these questions, I reached out to some great CX leaders from around the world:Marwan Dimas, Group Marketing and Communications Director for Power International Holding, says that designing digital and physical experiences with universal human principles in mind will lead to meaningful experiences.Jay Baer, of Convince and Convert, believes that brands who claim technology limits their ability to be interesting are just using technology as an excuse to actually be disinteresting.Shep Hyken, the Chief Amazement Officer at Shepard Presentations, talks about the need for the switch between human-powered and digital-powered, to be seamless and frictionless.Blake Morgan, customer experience futurist and author, tells me that in a world where B2B is changing to “B-to-me,” smart brands are using technology to make the lives of their customers easier and better.Tom Cheesewright, author and applied futurist, explains that today's customers are not benchmarking you against your direct competitors. They are benchmarking your brand against the best of their digital interactions. Bruce Temkin, head of the Qualtrics XM Institute, discusses the role experience management plays and suggests brands need to apply even more experience management into their digital activities next year than they've done this year.Anne Morriss, Executive Founder of The Leadership Consortium, says that brands that rely on empathy and transparency can strike the balance between personalization and privacy that customers appreciate.Frances Frei, professor at Harvard Business School, shares a simple litmus test to determine which brands actually have empathy with their customers and which are all about themselves.And that's just a start!On the next episode of ExPEERience, the topic is the future of CX. How will advances in technology change what your customers expect from you? And what will those experiences look like tomorrow?I would like to thank the team responsible for the creation and production of ExPEERience: SAP Executive Producer, Melissa Lange; our production partners at Simpler Media, Evo Terra and Sam Walker; and the SAP team Ana Amman, Tram Anh Nguyen, Tara Sorman, Molly Breene, and Amber Hatfield. I'm Paula Hansen, Chief Revenue Officer for SAP Customer Experience and the host of ExPEERience. Thank you for listening.
On this, the final episode in this season of ExPEERience, we're looking at CX of the future. How is what your customers are expecting from their experiences changing? How can we deliver the experiences of tomorrow? And how will technology like AI and machine learning play a part? Here's who is joining me and just some of the future-forward wisdom they're sharing:Blake Morgan, customer experience futurist and author, tells me that the bar for using customer experience as a competitive differentiator is already quite low and that brands will have to go above and beyond with technology, to build experiences that delight tomorrow's customers.Jay Baer, of Convince and Convert, reminds us that CX initiatives are like escalators in that they never reach the top, but just keep going in a circle; and that customer experience is a process, not a project that will ever be completed.Tom Cheesewright, author and applied futurist, doesn't think AI is going to replace the human experience, but that human interaction will climb up the value chain as artificial intelligence gets more capable.Greg Chapman, of The Pocket CMO, sees a future world where predicting behavior and purchase cycles allow things like chatbots to become more personalized and start to deliver significant value to customers' experiences.Chris Brogan, digital and brand strategist, thinks personalization is not even in its infancy, and future AI-driven experiences will be seen as neither creepy nor invasive when they deliver customer experiences people are genuinely excited about.Bruce Temkin, head of the Qualtrics XM Institute, says the true power of AI-enhanced CX will not be about optimizing the decisions customers make, but about optimizing the experiences they have with a brand.And that's just a start!I really hope you enjoyed listening to this season of ExPEERience, and that hearing my conversations with executives, futurists, and thought leaders from across the world has started discussions in your business about how we can all better serve our customers; today and in the future.

Futurist Trond Arne Undheim interviews UK futurist Tom Cheesewright, a regular BBC commentator, and author of the new book Future proof your business.In this conversation, we talked about the role of a futurist in a fast-moving world, the tools needed to predict future trends in your industry, how to build in agility, how the pandemic has changed leaders' thinking preparing for future shocks and what the next decade might bring.My takeaway is that the future will not be the same for everyone. It all depends. What steps do you take? What skills do you build? What is your organizational agility? What social group do you belong to? Where do you live? What governance structures are you subject to? In terms of growth, Tom Cheesewright talks about the importance of the three C-s, curation, creation and communication, each of which he sees as so complex and multifaceted that you can only ever be an expert on aspects of it in one lifetime, so you may be great on stage but still a poor listener, or poor with digital design tools, for example.After listening to the episode, check out Tom Cheesewright's online profile and his new book:Tom Cheesewright (@bookofthefuture) https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomcheesewright/ Tom Cheesewright webpage https://tomcheesewright.com/Future Proof Your Business (Penguin Business, 2020) https://tomcheesewright.com/future-proof-your-business/The show is hosted by Podbean and can be found at Futurized.co.

Yes it's a cliché that writing is a journey, but that's because it's TRUE. In this week's Best Bits episode I look back over the last few conversations in The Extraordinary Business Book Club and highlight the ways in which my guests have been shaped and changed, and moved forwards in their lives, by the experience of writing their books. Do you recognise any of these? Tom Cheesewright on how working with an editor turned his whole message on its head Rob Law on how an editor spotted the pivotal moment that made sense of his story Katy Granville-Chapman and Emmie Bidston on the importance of psychological safety and the value of supportive criticism Richard Fox on making connections through writing Gemma Milne on the transcendent joy of research and the dull slog of actual writing Marianne Page on trying out new ways to write and the importance of deadlines Tony Crabbe on what you discover about yourself when you write a book in 16 days Rachel Bridge on what happens when the book spills off the page and into your life Sasha Frieze on the speaking journey - how authors can pitch to event organisers.
Our normally bustling cities have been eerily quiet for months. It’s reminiscent of the post-apocalyptic horror film, ‘28 Days Later’. The lockdown is proving costly; Westminster Abbey has lost more than £12 million in revenue this year and is set to lay off one in five of its staff. Theatre bosses say they must reopen without social distancing in time for Christmas or face oblivion. Restrictions are beginning to ease but for many cafes, pubs, shops, clubs and restaurants, the pandemic could be terminal. Museums, galleries, churches and office developments will struggle to justify their continued existence; should they be bailed out by the taxpayer? Perhaps each of us has a moral duty to head uptown on a shopping spree, take in a show and dine out? Yet this is about more than jobs and tourism; it raises bigger questions about the value we put on cities. If a ghost town is sad, a dead city is surely a tragedy. Since ancient Athens, cities, for many, have been the cultural jewels in civilisation’s crown, creative cauldrons of multicultural mingling and springboards to success. Others cite London, for example, as a social, cultural and economic drain on the life of our country. They believe that declining big cities give us an opportunity to revive towns, to end the suburban commuter crawl, beef up provincial culture, restore lost industries, embrace home-working and cut carbon emissions. Are big cities an unquestionable moral good, worth preserving in their current state? Or, in the new post-Covid world, is there a better way of organising the way we live? With Richard Burge, Paul Chatterton, Tom Cheesewright and Dr Jonathan Rowson. Producer: Dan Tierney.
As cities around the world begin relaxing their coronavirus lockdowns rules, and companies start to reopen their offices, how will working experiences of the past few months impact the way organisations run in the future. Produced in partnership with the PRCA Global COVID-19 Communications Taskforce, we discuss how PR agency heads can futureproof their business, discover what the traits are for an athletic organisation, and look at whether more companies move to a hybrid model of working.

The young Tom Cheesewright found his purpose in life when his mother bought him a copy of the 1979 Usborne Book of the Future. Now he's an Applied Futurist, focusing not on teleportation or interstellar travel but on identifying what is going to take an organisation out at the knees in five years' time. He discovered that the best way to do that was to create a narrative of the future: 'We've got to be able to tell stories when we're trying to compel change.' (Which is why his book High Frequency Change: Why We Feel Like Change Happens Faster Now and What to Do About It is so readable.) He also discovered that writing a book isn't like writing a paper, it requires a different approach to structure, and he shares how he overcame that challenge. Pure gold.
