The Digital Week Podcast

The rise of social capital is evidenced by valuations for organisations such as Strava, WhatsApp and Instagram. In a world where peer to peer platforms provide deep engagement for people, and as we move from the economy of corporations to the economy of people, having people (your customers) at the heart of your business model is critical for growth. The Digital Week explores the value of social capital for corporations and how new and existing entities can harness the value of digital communities in their business strategies. Professors Michael Rosemann and Marek Kowalkiewicz investigate these themes and ask: What will the library of the future look like and behave? The same question can be applied to banks of the future, universities of the future and insurance providers of the future. Who will develop these relationships? Who will ‘own’ these communities?

A world leading researcher on neuroplasticity, Professor Selena Bartlett discusses new brain function discoveries including why changing your brain is so challenging and what we can do about it.

Digital technologies such as big data, apps and democratisation of information are explored as catalysts for a changing research landscape. Want a job of the future: how about a Brain Fitness Coach.

Professors Michael Rosemann and Marek Kowalkiewicz explore the various facets of disruptive innovation. A revenue resilience assessment is proposed as a way to identify those revenue streams in danger of being disrupted. Early identification of disruptive trends reduces latency and increases the window for self disruption. Catalyzing ideas and a well designed innovation system allow proactive disruption putting organisation into the driver seat. Revenue analysts, corporate disruptors and stand up ideators are emerging jobs in this area.

Why the IoT will not be an unpredictable mess | Prof Antonio Liotta on the Digital Dialogue Predictions are that over 1 trillion things including phones, fridges, cars, sensors and micro-processors will be connected, sending and receiving data across the internet by 2020.

Hackerspace Brisbane is a volunteer organisation that provides tools, facilities and community mentoring for makers of stuff: be-it giant wood and dragonflies, internet of things infrastructure, high end VR headsets or 3D printing robots on any given night of the week.
