Futurist: technology is on track to replace people
Graeme Codrington is a futurist, author and professional speaker who spends most of his time racking up air miles to get between briefings and conferences he’s invited to speak at all over the world. He’s in demand because the insights he and his team bring to business leaders are profound. Here he shares an interesting perspective on technology, and the impact it is having on roles we take for granted.
There’s no doubt that technology is having a very significant impact in almost every industry. But an interesting question we should all be asking ourselves (as we seek stronger growth, better performance and greater efficiencies all round) is what will the impact of technology be on the shape of our organisation in 3, 5 and 10 years’ time? The most competitive companies – those which achieve positive performance against the grain of the industry and against stiff competition – will be those companies where questions like this are asked and considered frequently. So how will technology change the shape of your business?
