Ollie on Work Reasons for Optimism with Tom Goodwin
Today's guest is Tom Goodwin, a digital business transformation specialist and the founder of All We Have Is Now, a consultancy created to help companies unleash the power of new technology, focusing on making better products and services and on consumer-centricity.
This was a fantastic conversation. One part analysis of the world of business and work. One part therapy session.
Tom's the host The Edge", an original series on Euronews which reaches 250 million households and the author of Digital Darwinism.
He's a proponent of what he calls “Nowism” (also the name of his newsletter), which he describes as "a more practical form of futurism". His point of view is that we already have the technology we need to drive meaningful growth. We just need to take action and use our imagination to unleash its power.
Tom always offers a great take on the challenges and opportunities in the business world and has an interesting perspective on the future of work. He and Ollie discuss:
- Why Tom’s an optimist but avoids hype.
- How zooming out can help you get a realistic perspective of what matters to people.
- What people have got right and wrong when it comes to finding meaning in their jobs.
- Lessons we can learn from marketing, including listening, observing people and being curious.
- What makes a good question, and the importance of asking difficult ones.
- The role technology should play in making us more human.
