The Few Leaders

How to Future Proof Your Organisation in 5 Years Using AI and Strategic Foresight with Jonathan Brill

Episode Summary

AI won’t replace leaders, but leaders who use AI will replace those who don’t. In this episode of The Few Leaders: Speaker Series, I sit down with Jonathan Brill, Forbes’ number one futurist and a leading authority on innovation, technology, and future strategy. Tune in as we explore how leaders can future-proof their organisations by harnessing the power of AI and building more intelligent, adaptable systems to thrive in uncertain times. We break down the myths around artificial intelligence, uncover why rigid five-year plans no longer work, and reveal the small strategic decisions that create resilience and long-term advantage. From navigating demographic shifts and geopolitical change to rethinking leadership roles in an AI-driven world, this conversation is a blueprint for staying ahead of disruption. Whether you’re a business leader anxious about rapid change or an executive eager to turn uncertainty into opportunity, this episode offers practical insights that will help you lead with confidence in the face of tomorrow’s challenges.
