Challenge Everything: A Philosophical Discussion with Jamil Shinawi Artwork

The Change Officer

Human beings don’t like change: it’s wired into our very DNA. Yet change is inevitable, and if we want to remain relevant and empowered, we need to understand the changes unfolding before us. Knowledge is power, and by seeking it we hope to dismantle our collective anxiety about not knowing what the future holds. To get the answers, we’re speaking to the change-makers themselves – the entrepreneurs, the founders, the business leaders – asking them where they see the change ahead, and what we can do to make the most of these opportunities.
