GTM14 - Preparing for the Future, with Steve Brown, Futurist, Author and previous Evangelist at Intel

For this season finale, we invited Steve Brown
to embark on the journey of what's next.


Via his fathers job as a Physics lecturer, Steve was introduced
to science and technology at a very early age - and that sense of
magic has never left him. After studying how to make a computer,
he went on to have a fascinating career with the one and only
Intel, avoiding the well trodden traditional career trajectory,
opting instead to move through marketing, events, planning and
labs, before finally becoming an Intel Futurist. This inspired
Steve to become an independent Futurist, helping
companies and organisations think through the digital challenges
they were facing, and how new and emerging technologies could
influence their own futures. As a well respected speakers and
author, it’s fascinating to hear Steve talk through the
technologies he sees making an impact, use cases from companies
using them and how emerging technologies could be very
disruptive. Now, as a Portland native, he talks through the local
investing scene, and what he likes to see in a company before he
considers investing. A great listen for those thinking about
where to go next in their company and personal journeys.


Highlights:
- History shows companies that invest in tech will outperform
their peers
- We’re moving from work-life balance to work-life fusion
- Industry 5.0 brings the Humans back to life
- The six technologies driving Digital Transformation
- The role of 5G in enabling IoT
