Grateful for this feedback from Anisha Moosa

“As a true global futurist, you consistently keep your finger on the pulse - tracking the signals, interpreting the trends, and helping us understand which dials are turning up and which ones demand our attention. In a world that often feels noisy and uncertain, your clarity brings both insight and calm.”

I love the work I get to do every day, and feedback like this is always the cherry on the top, knowing the work lands this way - making sense of what’s changing, and helping people feel a little more grounded in it all.

I really do appreciate the conversations, the questions, and the chance to do this work with such great people.

40 million people were in modern slavery in 2020.
50 million by 2025.
A 25% increase in five years.

Those numbers are from the United Nations and the International Labour Organisation, and they're moving in the wrong direction.

James Cockayne, New South Wales Anti-Slavery Commissioner, doesn't dress it up. The outlook is bracing. Geopolitical tension, state breakdown, climate displacement - all of it is creating conditions where vulnerable people are being exploited. And as the global order reorganises itself, supply chains are going to feel that pressure too.

This is not something happening somewhere far away in a supply chain nobody can trace. It's closer than most organisations think. And it's getting harder to ignore.

Dean Van Leeuwen and I sat down with James to talk about what this means for businesses and what leadership in this space actually looks like.

It's one of the most important conversations we've had on Elephants in the Boardroom. Full episode link in the comments.

I do love what I do! Combine that with a brilliant team and clients around the world who make it all possible... and it's another exciting month ahead for me. Here's where I'll be.

I’ll be interested in your response to this. Alan Winters is Chief People and Diversity Officer at TP (a massive multinational company with hundreds of thousands of employees).

Amongst other experiments, what they’ve done is taking the content of their training courses and used AI to create music that can be played during breaks on training courses as background music. Elevator/restaurant type music, with lyrics that reinforce the content.

Smart idea? Clever use of AI? Or ‘hurt your brain’ schlock?

Have you seen the latest update to GPT-4 (only available in the Pro version at the moment): Custom Instructions? It helps you do what I believe is the best way to use GPT as a productivity assistant: setting up templates to help GPT give you the perfect outputs to your prompts.

Check out a quick explainer video here if you haven't seen this feature yet: https://youtu.be/HX6aK2kX45I

Every week, I share what our team at TomorrowToday has discovered about the fast-moving world of "AI" LLMs (GPT, Bard, Bing, Llama, Claude, and more) with the members of my Futures Club. Honestly, I think that these insights are worth the price of the Futures Club alone.

Tour Guide to the Future: Ep 71: Introducing the 'Grey Elephants'

There are seven highly probably, hugely impactful, but often overlooked forces shaping the world right now. Over the next few weeks, I am going to show you what these are, give you examples, help you avoid the threats they bring, but most importantly open your eyes to the opportunities they present.

Welcome to my mini-series on the 'Great Grey Elephants', which will be running on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok for the next few weeks.

Follow me on those channels to watch the whole series - links in the first comment below.

In last week's ThrowForward Thursday episode we looked at one of the truly BAD days in history, 60 million years ago when a meteor hit Mexico and 75% of life on earth was wiped out. Bad... that's an understatement. We looked at NASA is doing to make sure that doesn't happen while we are here. Watch that video here: https://youtu.be/EUaVUbbLMWY

Imagining worst case scenarios is a key aspect of 'Thinking Like a Futurist', and in this episode I show you three tools you can use to do this:
* Grey Elephants (by which we mean highly probable, high impact and yet ignored threats in the near future)
* Chaos Monkeys (a technique started at Netflix to test their systems)
* What if Wizards

This version of ThrowForward Thursday is a SAMPLE of the full episode. If you're a member of Graeme Codrington's Futures Club, please log into the Portal to see the full episode. If you enjoy this sample and want access to the full video and to all the other amazing resources in the Futures Club, then just go to http://www.JoinTheFuturesClub.com now.
