So many things are changing right now, except our mindsets. To thrive in this renaissance, future leadership requires a mindshift.

If you haven’t met NTT DATA’s Tammy Soares yet, this is a good time. I had the absolute pleasure of spending time with her on the Catalyst podcast to talk about why the time is now to challenge your own thinking, your current mindset. We often think that change is for others, when in fact, change is for all of us now and permanently moving forward.

In this podcast, we explore how leaders (you and me) must evolve in the age of AI and rapid disruption.

Other reasons to listen…

1️⃣ To discover how genuine curiosity drives meaningful innovation, especially with AI.

2️⃣ To learn why AI should enhance human courage and creativity, not preserve and scale the status quo.

3️⃣ To hear practical examples of how a “mindshift” mentality unlocks entirely new value rather than incremental gains.

Highlights from the episode include:

• True futurism is about curiosity, not predictions. A futurist doesn’t predict the future but asks critical questions, analyzes data and develops potential scenarios. Brian emphasizes that challenging assumptions and rules is essential for innovation and creative thinking.
• The human cost of efficiency. Years of digital transformation have focused on cost reduction and efficiency at the expense of human experience. Brian shares examples like IKEA’s chatbot success leading to new interior design services, showing how different thinking can create value rather than just cutting costs.
• ‍Beware the “AI-powered status quo.” The companies that will win in this next era have leaders who are willing to reimagine what’s possible, instead of simply digitizing what already exists. When humans and AI collaborate to create entirely new value propositions, things get interesting.
