KILLER QUOTES
Sean Moffitt: Speaker 1: (time code 25:05)
The biggest emerging future forces that I believe are here to stay:
#1 The rise of HR as a central strategic function as companies are struggling to rethink their relationship with talent
#2 The importance of purpose for companies as a core value that is not only expressed on paper but lived through clear and explicit action
On the rise of HR, the playing field has gotten so complex: we can work from anywhere, talent can live far away from the traditional headquarters, and the skills we need to make our companies strong are changing so quickly that there needs to be upskilling in place like never before.

Overview: In this episode, Futureproofing Now hosts Andrea Kates & Sean Moffitt provide their top cybersecurity and trust insights from The Digital Periscope foresight study on what variables to consider during each stage of innovation++ development. They explore the factors involved, the roster of current solutions and future panaceas to defend against financial peril & espionage.
With cyberthreats looming large and cybercrime predicted to cost the world US$6 trillion by 2021, it’s no wonder that cybersecurity has sprung up as a "board need-to-know" and an investment “hot commodity”. In fact, the world needs +145% more cybersecurity professionals simply to meet the growing needs and global demands of the market. There is real risk here too, share prices of breached companies fall over 7% in the two weeks after a breach is made public. Never mind the careers lost and brand equity bruised, the average breach causes $4 million directly in damages.
Fueled by the dizzying new array of technologies that makes change & innovation more vulnerable to cyberthreats, the Futureproofing : Next team + their panelists, explores what the biggest cyberthreats are and how to defend, and in some cases even harness the threats as potential value.

In the Author’s Studio: The Fearless Organization. Amy Edmondson in conversation with Andrea Kates, Futureproofing : Next
In this episode of Futureproofing Next’s In the Author’s Studio, we speak with Amy Edmondson, author of The Fearless Organization. Edmondson’s groundbreaking research in the importance of Psychological Safety established a global standard for organizations working to drive innovation and engineer top-performing teams.
Google studied the secret behind out-performing teams, they were surprised to discover a common element at the heart of it all—psychological safety. Real life research pointed to an irrefutable correlation between team results and the presence of “psychological safety”, a team dynamic that encourages people to speak up without negative repercussions.
That revelation set the stage for Amy Edmondson to expand her insights about psychological safety into her book, The Fearless Organization.
Corporate examples in the episode: Volkswagen, Wells Fargo, Barry Wehmiller, and Fukushima Daini, Google.
To Build a Top-Performing Fearless Organization, Leaders Need a New Standard to Create a Culture of Psychological Safety
