I met Eileen Belastock in 2022 at the Future of Educational Technology Conference (FETC) in 2022. We were sitting in the Press Room of the event and shared our love for learning and educational technology.  Eileen is a recognized edtech authority with clients to answer the increasing critical student safety, data privacy, and cybersecurity questions. In this episode she will share a wealth of books that are a must read. One of them is by Kevin Kelly, entitled The inevitable: Understanding  the12 technological forces. https://kk.org/books/the-inevitable.  She is a warm and open leader that is recognized by her peers as someone that others should know.  We hope you enjoy this episode and share it with your colleagues and friends. Be sure to reach out to Eileen also and share you heard her interview on The Intern Whisperer podcast.

I met Matthew Hogan at the 2023 IITSEC annual conference.  He is the founder and CEO of M3D Technologies.  He is a service-disabled #Navy veteran who studied Studio Production and Visual Effects at Full Sail University and The DAVE School in Orlando. Matthew founded and operated several small businesses after leaving the Naval service, and has successfully completed projects for Orlando-area theme parks and the University of Central Florida.

Matthew is an expert in haptic gloves and the ability to feel the virtual world. Taking hardware solutions and programming this equipment so humans can experience something that can be dangerous but in a safe environment. Another example includes rocket launchers that allow regular people to blow something up in a virtual environment.  He believes if people don’t work to understand these new technologies they will be left behind.

Sean Pinnock, the CEO of Avalon, which is a human centric game studio, was my guest on The Intern Whisperer. When he was a child, he envisioned the future of games. His inspiration came from Ready Player One - which is a book by Ernest Cline that later became a movie. This shaped his thinking of what the world - Meta - could be as a VR experience.

When sharing his mentoring advice, he reminds us to learn and be content with who you are today; the second piece of advice is to be determined. Determination will take you further in your life journey.

S7 Ep. 283 Kristin Chase   Kristin Chase - Keeping balance between humans and demand for efficiency.

When asked what 2030 will look like she shared, “There will be a focus on efficiency and optimal use of labor. There is not as much labor available that are able, willing or want to fill jobs that need  to be filled.  There will be some effort that we need to have deeper interactions with people and where can we use a robot. If it is a systematic way should automation be the solution. This is where OD comes in, what is the work that needs to be done.

The idea of reskilling is where OD supports how and where people can fit in. What do we do with this new information about people's work in the future? People need to remember that personal connection is primary and what we change is the way we work as in efficiency of repetitive tasks that need to scale.  

Tune in to this 2024 episode to learn more about Kristin Chase and what work may look like as we move forward to 2030.
