The Future Fireside.
Episode Two – The Future Is Not A Technology Problem

In the second episode of The Future Fireside series leading futurist K D Adamson discusses with Mastercard VP & Senior Counsel Patrick Higgins why the future is not a technology problem, why geopolitical tensions and tech debt make new technology investments a strategic challenge, how the demands of ESG reporting and sustainable shared value creation are going to demand way more data, and why ignoring people and culture was responsible for so many failed digital transformation initiatives.

As we begin 2023 with a slowing global economy, war in Europe, an accelerating climate emergency, and changing attitudes and expectations of customers, employees and other stakeholders, businesses have rarely faced a more uncertain future. So Patrick has persuaded K D to sit down on camera for a series of Future Fireside chats discussing a huge range of topics, from geopolitics and globalization to organisational transformation, leadership, culture, purpose and what businesses and their leaders have to do to create sustainable value in the future.
