  • Emotion in Organisational Change with Jennifer Bryan

    Emotion in Organisational Change with Jennifer Bryan
    Jan 15 2026
    On this podcast we have considered not only technological, geo-political, social, and environmental issues impacting the future of life society and business, but also some of the essential evolving leadership capabilities. Developing new and different perspectives on how we enable a smooth transition into our rapidly changing reality is just as important as considering the trends and weak signals we observe in our foresight.


    In this episode of the Informing Choices mini-pod, we will consider one of those enabling capabilities and explore Emotion in Organisational Change. To do this, I am delighted to welcome change expert and author, Jennifer Bryan to the pod.

  • The Twelve Days of Tech-mas with Steve Wells

    The Twelve Days of Tech-mas with Steve Wells
    Dec 16 2025
    I usually do something a little different around Christmas or the New Year on the Informing Choice’s Mini-pod; for example the episodes; “Five for 25 – Hopes and Fears for 2025 with five Futurist Friends of the Podcast” (here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAEcQ1yXvqY) and “The Future of Christmas with Steve Wells and Friends” (here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qar80wIchms).


    But this year for a giggle, I thought I’d put generative AI … and my voice … to work. So I asked ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity to help me take the Twelve Days of Christmas song and tech it up for the festive season!


    So, here goes …… don’t forget to sing along! Happy holidays!


    By the way, if you want the visuals to go with the song, hop over to YouTube: https://youtu.be/o3QeSr41hus

  • Accounting in the Metaverse with Steve Wells

    Accounting in the Metaverse with Steve Wells
    Aug 6 2025
    In May 2025 I spoke at the Accountex 2025 event in London, an event that brings together accounting professionals, software and service suppliers with a CPD-accredited education programme. My topic was all about navigating the opportunities presented to the accounting profession by the metaverse as a platform for engaging with traditional clients and as an immersive place to conduct virtual business for virtual clients in a virtual space.


    So building on my presentation, in this episode, I explore how the metaverse is set to reshape the accounting profession—from immersive client engagement in virtual offices to managing digital assets and compliance in virtual worlds.

  • The Future of Beverages with Trisha Mehta

    The Future of Beverages with Trisha Mehta
    Apr 21 2025
    According to Design Futurist and Social Entrepreneur Trisha Mehta, “Beverages are having an identity crisis. They’re no longer just liquids in bottles- they’re interfaces, systems, rituals, and occasionally, biotech experiments in disguise. Think lab-grown everything, AI-enhanced hydration, refill networks replacing retail, and psychoactive sips edging into wellness culture.”


    With that as context, we are going to explore The Future of Beverages; the critical drivers of change, technological innovations, and the changing experience of consuming beverages.
