For me, UX research is only one potential area of discovery. Other sources of discovery are strategy, data, competitors, technology and business models to name a few. I have seen the battle and it feels unproductive. Working in small teams looking at diff…lnkd.in/eiEFqkSf

Thinking about thinking is a bit of an obsession of mine. It’s so powerful to let your brain rest. Your brain operates at a different frequency when you are still or daydreaming. It allows your brain to connect dots that aren’t possible when you are run…lnkd.in/eeVuGE5A

I’ve been involved in technology and change throughout my career. I can’t recall such a fast adoption. I’m definitely curious as to whether the 500 people surveyed for this study scales to the wider population. lnkd.in/eP8WSzcF

Performance and impact are so much more effective when people work with each other, for each other. Backbiting, alternative agendas, credit taking and other ways people undermine each other leads to fear, misalignment, protectionism and disarray. In short…lnkd.in/eqzMZ5k2

I am an optimist. It's not that I can't see the potential downsides of new technology. I can. I'm not naively optimistic. I can see that AI has nefarious applications. It has enormous potential to proliferate bias and harm elections. Algorithms are the c…lnkd.in/eaFcDjnT

AI could create more echo chambers if we don't balance diversity and external perspectives. Social media and technology (much of it already uses AI models) have already done a lot to narrow the sources of information for people. I think it's essential tha…lnkd.in/eXdFHXKK

I’m sure youve seen this advert doing the rounds. Good and timely marketing for the skills. I’m not sure that all the skills required to finish a building won’t be replaced over time (even if this building requires it), but the points Conor Grennan makes…lnkd.in/eQ3Te_uS

A great model to think about how to help someone grow and change. In a world where we are constantly striving for more performance, engagement and contribution, discovering and developing character in a way that encourages ownership and self-determinism i…lnkd.in/ez6HEabG

A solid list. I'd also add lnkd.in/egw2ji-p for an introduction. #ai #learning #education #futureofwork lnkd.in/eCWyjr2M

As great as GPT and other models are, to confidently get the most out of them in real-world, specific examples, there will be a need for good-quality data. In some ways, this has been a challenge for companies since the dawn of computers. lnkd.in/ebmBs5Nf

An interesting take on the changes coming. The grim picture described in the article has been the same grim picture for many, many years and it’s time things changed for the benefit of our young people, our teachers, our workplaces…lnkd.in/exBMMPXq lnkd.in/e-PTZ7eP

600 premier league games @youngy18. Fondly remember playing out on the green with you and Martin many years ago. Amazing achievement. Well done!

It’s a great read. Michael’s story is amazing. He’s one of the most interesting men I’ve met in a long, long time. Good luck with the new book!

Lots of focus on teachers right now. And on exams and test scores. But we need to look at how students can become the best learners possible. Even with the challenges of remote learning. link.medium.com/BFmMxZBrPcb

.@DrRayHall1 this made me think about the work you are doing. A good representation of the next few years #COVID19 #coronavirus #ClimateCrisis

Just seen The Ocean at the End of the Lane at the National Theatre. It was utterly beguiling. An amazing adaptation of a brilliant book by @neilhimself. Definitely recommend nationaltheatre.org.uk/shows…
