15 Rich Mulholland | Going to War with Strategy

Loading player...
Our thinking may just need an overhaul...

In this one-of-a-kind conversation, Richard Mulholland (Missing Link, Too Many Robots) shares his story; from being a roadie, to becoming a successful businessman and global presenter. He emphasises the importance of curiosity as a driving force in his career and discusses the evolution of presentation skills in the corporate world.

The conversation delves into the future of communication, the impact of AI on human experience, and the growing divide in technology access across the globe. Rich also reflects on the philosophical implications of these changes and the need for humanity to adapt and evolve in response to technological advancements.

In this conversation, Rich, Rob, and Jonathan take a look at various themes including the importance of historical context in decision-making, the dichotomy of optimism and pessimism in achieving success, and the evolution of strategy in business (Including if strategy is needed at all today). They explore how board games can serve as tools for strategic thinking, the need for a reconceptualisation of strategy in the modern world, and the future of leadership in a rapidly changing environment.

The discussion also touches on the potential of AI in business and the importance of adapting to new technologies.
