Aric’s top themes & topics:
Regarding tips for future ready leaders: Transforming yourself first: As soon as leaders timeline themselves are changing, so too their environments and the organisational they are serving are transforming for good.
• Balancing analytical explicit problem-solving with your implicit creative abilities to navigate complexity more effectively • Trusting yourself and your colleagues and team by default and moving gradually into becoming a trusting organisation • Understanding different states of self and how they impact team collaboration and communication (e.g. designing a working environment in which people can feel the psychological safety to surface their best selves at work) • Creating common purpose and common ground amongst our highly diverse and globalised workforce and simplifying the communication and message to engage genuinely and effectively • Putting people first instead of customers first, because employees matter equally as much, and using data to personalise both employees’ and customers’ (digital) experience with the company.
• Sustainability and Resilience: While most companies see sustainability & resilience in the context of profit, ignoring the reciprocal relationships between policy, society and technology, the unpredictability of market changes will eventually render their business models outdated and irrelevant.
• Future of Work, Social Interactions, New economic models and everything in-between: From mobility and logistics to GDP and new business, what are the unresolved challenges and economic issues that can be solved with sufficient political will, financial investment and attention now, and in the future so this new reality can carry it’s true potential impact?
• Trust, Privacy & Integrity (TPI): We live in a world where consumers no longer look at or interpret data anymore – but rather consume the opinions of others. It’s the job of business and policymakers to secure a sustainable TPI frameworks. GDPR was a good start yet we can do more to drive better value for our data.
