The Great Decoupling
Monday, 29 September 2014
By: McKinsey Quarterly
As machine learning advances at exponential rates, many highly skilled jobs once considered the exclusive domain of humans are increasingly being carried out by computers. Whether that’s good or bad depends on whom you talk to. Technologists and economists tend to split into two camps, the technologists believing that innovation will cure all ills, the economists fretting that productivity gains will further divide the haves from the have-nots.

Addressing complacency in innovation – Part Three
You may have noticed by now that I’m huge advocate for collaborating with others. From my ventures with Creativity Australia, The Song Room, Creative Innovation Global, Pot-Pourri and Music Theatre Australia, I believe in collaborating for success. While I spearheaded these initiatives I didn’t do it alone.

Embracing Failure! FAIL = First Attempt In Learning

Embracing Failure! FAIL = First Attempt In Learning
Addressing complacency in innovation – Part Two
If we want to address complacency in innovation then we need to start taking risks and embracing failure. After all, when you embrace failure, you truly learn your first real lesson. As you may have read in my last blog post, I recently read an article which outlined that Australia is falling behind in innovation. This is largely because of our highly risk-averse culture.
In part 2 of my five part BLOG series I want to look at how we spur innovation through positive risk-taking behaviour. Increasing one’s innovation capacity is crucial in an era of massive disruption and globalised commoditization of products and services.
