Future Squared with Steve Glaveski

In this episode of Future², we were lucky enough to be joined by world champion entrepreneur and investor, Niel Robertson, not to be confused with the world champion Australian snooker player of the same name with whom he battles for top spot in Google rankings!

Niel has founded a handful of successful startups including Service Metrics which he sold at the tender age of 24 at the height of the dot com boom in 1999 for US$280m.

 

In this podcast we talk about:

- Niel’s beginnings in tech with a Commodore 64

- Melbourne coffee

- Co-founding a business with somebody who inspired the movie ‘21’

- How Boulder, Colorado, with a population of 100,000 became one of the tech hotbeds of the US

- The Melbourne start-up ecosystem

- The role that Government and Enterprise can play in supporting innovation

- 3 key skills he looks for in investee founders

- What his daily routine looks like to stay optimised and performing at a high level

We know you will love this podcast with one of Boulder, Colorado’s most iconic entrepreneurs who is now spending half of his time in
Melbourne, Australia.

‍In this podcast, we catch up with Annie Fergusson, change facilitator and founder of airEDU, a platform she is designing and building to resolve challenges in the higher education marketplace.

Higher ed institutions are like large enterprise organisations - they are bound by bureaucracy, systems, values and a wider ecosystem that inhibits their ability to move quickly. 

As such, we touch on a lot of topics that should be of interest to any innovation and education enthusiast, such as:

- Modularisation and practical education

- What's broken with higher ed?

- MOOcs

- Philosophy

- The pace of change and whether Universities can keep up

- The T-shaped student

- Resilience and preparing for personal disruption by teaching transferable skills, not job-centric skills

- The role universities can play in enterprise innovation

- The role universities will play going forward

In this podcast, Steve Glaveski discusses the merits of using idea platforms to spur innovation but also touches on the many pitfalls of running idea contests without enough emphasis on framing challenges properly, evaluation criteria and actually having a process in place to explore ideas post the contest. Find out some of the best methods for running idea contests in your organisation.

I had the pleasure of catching up with Humphrey Laubscher, NAB Labs' Fintech Innovation Manager, for our latest Future² podcast. We touched on a number of questions relevant for not just banking and financial services organisations, but other large organisations facing similar challenges and startups looking to partner and/or disrupt incumbents. For those of you who don't know, NAB Labs is the innovation arm of the National Australia Bank, and aside from recently announcing a $50m startup venture fund, NAB Labs is heavily focused on collapsing the time it takes to bring new products to market, investigating partnerships and potential investments and designing a scalable innovation system that sits at the heart of the bank. A must listen if you are looking to drive innovation in any of the above realms.
