The Future of Finance Is Autonomous and Always-On

Markets have crossed into the second half of the chessboard: tokenised rails, always-on settlement, AI-led decisions, and quantum-era security risk. The old governance cadence is dead. The new mandate is design over drift—accountability engineered into the system.

When Intelligence Stops Being the Problem

We’re building systems that can analyse, predict, simulate and persuade at superhuman levels, while relying on political, legal and organisational structures that were designed for a world where intelligence was scarce and slow. That is a dangerous gap.

Why Electric Mobility Is Becoming an Energy Network Problem

EV charging is no longer about plugs and locations. Battery breakthroughs, megawatt demand, fleets, and autonomy are turning mobility into an energy network problem. The real value is shifting behind the meter, into orchestration, flexibility, and grid intelligence.

Ten Technology Trends for 2026

2026 marks the dawn of Augmented Intelligence, a year where AI becomes embedded everywhere, from geopolitics to healthcare, robotics, and the brain itself. These ten trends expose the shifts redefining power, work, privacy, and what it means to be human.

How Do You Become A Futurist?

From cycling around Australia to writing my PhD on airplanes, I never planned to become a futurist. I just kept following the signal that wouldn’t shut up. Fifteen years later, I’m still doing the same, helping others navigate a world changing faster than ever.

Surfing Chaos: Why Curiosity, Not Control, Defines Tomorrow’s Leaders

In an age of exponential change, the real challenge isn’t predicting the future, it’s becoming future-capable. Mastering complexity won’t save us, because this isn’t complexity, it’s chaos. The real question isn’t “what’s next?” but “Now what?” And most leaders don’t have an answer.

Riding the Tsunami of Change: From Awareness to Action in the Intelligence Age

Exponential forces aren’t gentle waves; they crash like tsunamis. Will we merely brace for impact, or will we learn to master the currents? Complexity is not a barrier; it is our new normal.

When Knowledge Outruns Wisdom: How I’m Trying to Help Us Catch Up

We’re drowning in content but starved for insight. This article shares my framework for closing the gap: Keynotes to spark awareness, Now What? to operationalize change, and Futurwise to sustain daily intelligence. Read less, know more, and turn signals into strategy with ethics baked in.

Now What? How to Ride the Tsunami of Change — Available Now!

📚 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟰 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄, 𝗜 𝗪𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. The future isn't coming, it's here. And it feels like a tsunami. Today, I'm super excited to launch my sixth book: "Now What? How to Ride the Tsunami of Change."

The Universe Doesn't Revolve Around Us: Why Nature's 39 Trillion Lessons Matter More Than Your Next Tech Stack

Bacteria figured out collaborative networks while you're still building silos. Every organism operates in its own umwelt, a unique sensory bubble defining its entire reality. Time to learn from organisms that actually understand systems thinking.
