RMIT FORWARD - Future Skills and Workforce Transformation
44 episodes
1 month ago
We’re in a world where five-year plans don’t last five months, market dynamics shift overnight and AI rewrites the rules weekly.
Traditional strategy-making is cracking under pressure. The question isn’t whether we need strategy, but how to make it resilient, dynamic, and alive. What if strategy wasn’t a static document, but an ongoing practice of adaptation, sensemaking, and navigation?
I’m joined by RMIT FORWARD Fellows Marc Chataigner, strategist and service designer with 20 years of international experience, and Peter Creeden , global supply chain leader maritime logistics specialist, to talk about what nimble, flexible strategy might look like, why it’s important to align strategy, what happens when there are human and non-human actors working together - and what sailing can teach us about strategy.

00:58 Navigating Complexity in Global Supply Chains
02:31 The Evolving Definition of Strategy
04:20 Adapting Corporate Strategy to Modern Challenges
07:35 Strategic Failures

Al Chronicles - S1E02 - Diana Wu David and Fedhz Mamaril
Is the 'human touch' in business becoming obsolete in the age of AI?
This episode of AI Chronicles, features Diana Wu David and Fedhz Mamaril. They collaborate together at Future Proof Lab, providing workshops and courses to help leaders navigate disruptive futures and harness technology trends.
Given this podcast is about the applied use of AI on the workplace, it was super interesting to speak with two people who collaborate on a daily basis and are introducing AI into their workflow.
The conversation covers practical applications of AI in their work as the creators of content and experiences, including design tools like Canva and language models like ChatGPT and Claude. They discuss how AI has streamlined processes, such as producing masterclass replays with transcripts and content snippets - activities which once took several hours can now be done in minutes.
A theme which emerged several times throughout the conversation is the importance of maintaining human touch in their work, especially in the context of the relational aspect of community management and the creative writing process.
Looking to the future, Diana and Fedhz envision AI enhancing learning experiences and enabling more creative business experimentation, given how much more quickly and cheaply an MVP version of a product or course can be developed and tested. However, they give us a reality check in that they have tried using the latest crop of tools to create courses, and the promise doesn’t quite live up to expectations just yet.
