Parag Khanna makes his return to Future Squared upon the release of his follow up to last year’s critically acclaimed Connectography, entitled Technocracy in America: Rise of the Info State which in the wake of Brexit and Trump argues for a new kind of democracy for a complex 21st century, one that Khanna calls a "direct technocracy," led by experts but perpetually consulting the people through a combination of democracy and data.

When not penning books, Parag is a leading global strategist and world traveler. He is a CNN Global Contributor and Managing Partner of Hybrid Reality, a boutique geostrategic advisory firm.

If you haven’t listened to it already, check out episode #39 in which Parag talks about his previous book Connectography which explored mankind’s investment of more than ten trillion dollars per year in transportation, energy, and communications infrastructure linking the world’s burgeoning megacities together and the profound consequences for geopolitics, economics, demographics, the environment, and social identity.

Topics Covered:

- Parag’s new book, Technocracy in America

- Trump (of course)- Technocratic systems

- Lessons from Switzerland, Singapore and India's technocratic Governments

- Why technocracy can end economic policy flip-flopping which usually comes at a detriment to the people

- Public private partnerships, startup ecosystem and expert engagement

- How to recruit and engage top talent to Government

- Artificial intelligence and universal based income 

- Transforming education to address the growing gap between productivity and workforce

- The evolving role of Government

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: goo.gl/OqEVCy f you’re not failing, you’re not innovating. Elon Musk’s words are echoed by most successful entrepreneurs and corporate innovators. If you’re not willing to fail, then you will only ever embark upon safe, incremental improvements, where you have all the answers and therefore can’t fail. However, in today’s rapidly moving environment yesterday’s answers are fast becoming redundant and tomorrow’s are mostly unknown. The only way to unlock the answers is by doing, failing and learning from your mistakes. But failure, done incorrectly, can cost companies millions. This is why it’s important to optimise the Return on Failure (RoF) in order to support management buy-in, optimise learnings and increase an organisation’s likelihood of success when it comes to innovation. SO how do we optimise RoF? Listen to this episode of Fast Fix Friday to find out!

Tim Harford is the author of the bestseller The Undercover Economist, Adapt and The Logic of Life and is a member of the editorial board of the Financial Times, where he also writes the “Dear Economist” column.

Tim has just released his Messy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives, which New York Times bestselling author, Adam Grant, says is utterly fascinating. The book celebrates the benefits that messiness has in our lives: why it’s important, why we resist it, and why we should embrace it instead.

He is a regular contributor to Slate, Forbes, and NPR’s Marketplace. He was the host of the BBC TV series Trust Me, I’m an Economist and now presents the BBC series More or Less. Harford has been an economist at the World Bank and an economics tutor at Oxford University.

Malcolm Gladwell says that “every Tim Harford book is a cause for celebration” so with adulation like that I simply coudn’t get Tim get away with just a 30 minute interview when there is simply so much to talk about so he’ll be joining me and by extension, you again next month for part 2 of this interview.

But first, I bring you part one with the one, the only, Tim Harford.

 

Topics discussed:

- Tim’s latest book 

- The jazz composition that almost never was... and Black Sabbath

- Why clean organisations are often slow moving organisations

- The connection between messiness and creativity 

- Our self reinforcing social media bubbles 

- Should we be moving to hybrid organisations?

- How Donald Trump and Jeff Bezos used chaos and messiness as an offensive weapon in politics and business respectively

- How chaos can fuel your competitive strategy

- Is inbox zero a waste of time?

Corporate legal and compliance (L&C) teams are usually considered the very antithesis of corporate innovation. The perennial “no” amidst a wide-eyed crowd enthusiastic with the prospect of shaking up the status quo and creating something new.

It is not without reason.

Established organisations have all implemented systems, processes and recruited people to keep the business afloat and keep it delivering on a repeatable and scaleable business model.

For organisations in industries such as healthcare and financial services, this goes one step further to ensuring that the delivery of this business model does not contravene any governing regulation.

While startups can often avoid the attention of regulators while they are small but as they find traction, grow and become more profitable, is is far more likely that they will capture the attention of regulators, as UBER and Airbnb discovered during their growth curve. The cost can often be hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars in penalties, reputational damage, loss of business and worst of all a suspension or revocation of license to operate.

So how then do organisations with regulators watching over their every move run experiments to test new ideas, a process fundamental to the science of innovation?

In this 'tableturner' episode of Future Squared, your host gets interviewed himself by Logan Merrick, co-founder of Buzinga App Development.

This episode originally appeared on Invisage, Buzinga’s podcast. You might remember Logan from episode #85 of Future Squared where we talked all manner of things from app development to 14 day silent meditation retreats!

When it came time to turn the tables and appear on Logan’s podcast, we talked everything corporate innovation and intrepreneurship and it turned out to be one helluva chat.

I just had to bring this chat to you, the listeners of Future Squared, and the guys from Buzinga were gracious enough to let me double down on this episode.

Topics discussed:

- The biggest misconception about enterprise innovation

- Are millennials inherently better innovators? We discuss the ideal mix of generations in your team.

- The 3 highest impact actions you can take today to make your company innovative

- Which corporate companies are leading the way in this arena?

Hello everybody from 2017… we hope you’re as pumped as we are at Collective Campus about this year and have set yourself some big hairy audacious goals to work towards this year.

Before I get into today’s fast fix I’d like to remind you that Future Squared has been nominated for the very first Australian Podcasting Awards people’s choice award, so instead of asking you to like us on iTunes, all I ask, as we endeavour to bring you another 100 episodes this year, is for 1 minute of your time to head on over to bit.ly/futuresquared and like this show - that’s all you have to do.

Getting this type of recognition will go a long way to supporting this show and provide us with the energy and momentum we need to continue bringing you amazing guests, week in, week out. That link again was bit.ly/futuresquared.

Today, I want to talk about sharing information, a topic inspired by the late 27 year old Aaron Swartz. Aaron was a co-founder of Reddit, was heavily involved in the development of the RSS feed in his early teens and above all, will be remembered for being an internet hacktivist, who campaigned against the Stop Online Piracy Act and supported the free flow of information.

***Achievement unlocked*** Episode #100 is here and what a super special episode it is!

A couple of weeks ago on an episode of Fast Fix Friday called Why I Do What I do, I spoke of a touching email I had received from Alex Henderson, one of the alums of Lemonade Stand, a 2 day kids entrepreneurship program that we run to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.

The budding young startup founder wrote to let me in on how the program had opened his eyes to the possibilities and inspired him to start a business and that he had gone one step further and already just launched.

As it is now the school holiday season here in Melbourne, Australia, I couldn’t help but reach out and invite Alex to appear on Future Squared to not only inspire other parents and their kids, but basically anybody out there who has made excuses in business and in life - age, lack of money and resources, no experience, no networks - these all come with very low barriers that can be overcome with, Alex tells us, nothing more than an internet connection, a laptop and the right attitude.

And with that, I’d just like to say thank you for listening to Future Squared in 2016. It has been an absolutely massive year for the team on a number of fronts and we simply could not have achieved what we have without you, our loyal audience.

I hope that this show has inspired you to new heights in both your personal and professional life and look forward to bringing you much more #inspo in 2017 as we set out to publish another 100 episodes before the year closes out.

Until next time, enjoy your new years eve shenanigans, whatever it is you get up to. I’m off to spend some time attempting to kitesurf while doing my best to avoid facepalming the water. See you in 2017!

Listen on iTunes: goo.gl/sMnEa0 Listen on Stitcher: goo.gl/OqEVCy The silly season is now in full swing, many of us will make bold promises to ourselves in the form of new year's resolutions.

Whatever your resolution, make sure you address these first if you want to make it to the end of 2017 amongst the 8% of people who achieved and kept their resolutions.
