Professional Experience

I specialize in writing about the future of work, typically drawing from research data, real-life examples and storytelling principles to communicate in compelling ways how the workplace is evolving. Not least, how we humans can best prepare for technological disruptions and remain marketable. Examples include the CEO activities that may one day be automated; how likely it is that a robot will steal your job; the importance of developing strategic foresight; the business benefits of reverse mentoring.

Showcase

General

One of the bi-monthly articles I'm commissioned to write for this Jersey (UK)-based business magazine.
Planning for a number of possible business futures is one thing, but strategic foresight puts you in a position to actually create the future rather than react to it. Commissioned article for Jersey-based business magazine.
Article offering three activities undertaken by the C-suite that might generate more successful outcomes if algorithms covered them instead.
