The Players



Framing the Forum 




About Gary Bolles


Gary Bolles Firestarters 

1. Making an Impact 


Country - 
Community - is there a better Way?
Organisation - teams - D&I 
Individual  - Automation 

2. What Happenned?




Aaaaaargh - has this been normal - there’s gotta be another way .... traffic, assembly lines, rows of cubicles if people looking at computer screens!!!

How can you leverage the power of freelancers - where there is no permanent commitment to work for you? People will work because it’s a win win win! 

Distributed workforce - the way of the future 

How can you engage a workforce to “work above the line” 

3. Teams




Team - a group of people who bind together to solve problems! 
Find the root cause of the problem - find out what really matters -  and then how do they coordinate to solve that problem 
“Out of conflict comes clarity”
 Read the book “the 5 temptations of a CEO” - “feel safe to” confront the 800 kg gorilla in the room - 
  • How can we be more inclusive ?
  • Empower vs instruct 
  • Diversity and Inclusion is key - psychological diversity and psychological safety
Diversity is inviting them into the room...... Inclusion is inviting them to dance with you “
  • Leverage the smarts of teams

4. Technology 




What is work 
Problem to be solved
Set of Tasks by Human skills 
 - can these be done by AI or robots 

Future of work 

Machine - repetitive task solving repetitive problems 
Human - How do we strive to focus on spending time creating unique tasks solving unique problems 

If tasks done by AI - will free up human beings - is that a bad thing? 
  • Universal income
  • abundance
  • A better way?
