Jaguar Land Rover | Reinventing for Beyond Tomorrow

Sticky Post By Chris Riddell On August 14, 2017

Australia Launches the All New Discovery

I absolutely love working with the very people that are reinventing themselves for a world Beyond Tomorrow. Jaguar Landrover are an iconic brand that have been with us for decades, and a business that I have a very long term personal connection to.

The next 12 months or so are going to see a number of massive leaps forwards as Jaguar Land Rover release some exciting new products on our roads around the world. This marks the start of a new journey for the business as they put a new focus on the fusion of technology, experience and a new breed of consumer.

I was the opening keynote for the launch event in Uluru, and took my crew and one of the All New Discovery’s on a drive through the incredible outback of Australia.

ROBOT WARS | They’re coming to take over the world!

Sticky Post By Chris Riddell On August 14, 2017

Should we fear an impending uprising?

The fear of robots taking over the world has reached an all time high. Elon Musk has stirred the pot again saying we should be terrified and it is the scariest problem we face as humanity today.

Should we really be frightened of robots, are they going to be fighting us in the streets and trying to take over the world? Or are we all living in fear of a fairytale and just terrified of the unknown? I joined The Project on Channel Ten to talk about Elon’s latest musings and you can watch the full segment above.

Qantas have seen their Future. It’s Facial Recognition

Sticky Post By Chris Riddell On August 1, 2017

And it’s their biggest technology play ever

Most passengers will be familiar with the facial recognition cameras that are widespread through our international airports in Australia. For the international traveller it’s something of a normality walking into the glass box at immigration, while the cameras scan your face and check you against your passport details on the immigration database. It takes just seconds, the doors slide open and you’re off. It’s almost a shame to not get the stamps in your passport anymore.

Blockchain and our Frictionless Future

Sticky Post By Chris Riddell On July 18, 2017

Liquidity is our New Normal

Things are a changin’ and the way we transact, shop and bank are all being transformed by digital. Blockchain is one of the biggest technology topics of 2017 and is still very much in its infancy, and as a result often misunderstood.

Global Futurist Chris Riddell joins Channel 7’s Weekend Sunrise to talk about the new tech trends that are changing our world from payments to experiences.

Why every business needs to be a digital business to survive

Sticky Post By Chris Riddell On June 5, 2017

Challenge everything you think you know

When it comes to the subject of digital transformation, Chris Riddell does not mince his words. “If you feared change before, then my God, have you got something coming around the corner,” states the global futurist and self-described digital evangelist. “Digital is going to flip industries on their head and fundamentally force you to change your way of thinking. If you don’t, you might as well pull down the shutters.”

FUTURE TERRORISM | What is success on the edge of chaos?

Sticky Post By Chris Riddell On May 24, 2017

Intelligence led policing is augmented

We can send man to the moon, we have cars that can drive themselves, and we have devices in our pockets that have an insane amount of capability, and connect us to almost every human being on planet earth.

With the advances in robotics, and cognitive computer technology you would be right in believing we are on the very edge of one of the most intelligent tipping points humanity has ever seen.

Yet, when it comes to human conflict and behaviour, we are fighting a war which we have little honest understanding of, and whilst broadly our security agencies succeed in preventing the majority of the incidents – predicting them is still something we have not yet mastered. If we want to get into true prevention, we must get predictive.

Predictions for the world in 2050

Sticky Post By Chris Riddell On May 1, 2017

Virtual will be the new Physical

In the year 2050, our world will be vastly different from what it is today. Virtual and Physical will be fused together beyond recognition – so much so that you won’t be able to tell the difference between the two.

We will also see Artificial Intelligence co-piloting business at the very top, and leaders relying on computers to help them make decisions at every step.

Flying cars are now a real thing

Sticky Post By Chris Riddell On April 24, 2017

So when can you buy them?

Global Futurist Chris Riddell joined The Project on Channel Ten to talk about the launch of flying cars in Australia, and when we should expect to see them buzzing in the skies.

In the future we will be able to transport ourselves in personal drones, so how will this change the way we think about technology. Will government legislation be able to keep up with this pace of change or will it get in the way and stifle innovation?

The Resurgence of Old Technology

Sticky Post By Chris Riddell On April 4, 2017

When Vinyl comes back into fashion

I joined ABC Peter Goers to talk about the resurgence of old technology into our lives. Vinyl has made an undeniable comeback, and many argue it is better than most current digital forms. What other trends from yesteryear will we see back in our lives, and how can we make sure with everything now ‘digital’ that we keep on experiencing everything in the way it was originally intended?
