Power Walking takes on a new meaning

Each step you take could power the future.

Imagine walking through your city , one and every step you take generates electricity. Thanks to kinetic energy technology, a single step can light a bulb for up to 20 seconds.

Envision this implemented across your train stations, sidewalks, and sports stadiums. With millions of footsteps every day, we could:

• Power lights and sensors
• Reduce strain on Tokyo's energy grid
• Transform human movement into a renewable energy source

Japan is experimenting with piezoelectric floor tiles in high-traffic spots like Shibuya and Tokyo Stations, where thousands of people pass through every day. This stepping technology is something I would love to see implemented in Australia!

This isn't science fiction. It's actually where behavioral science meets smart infrastructure. Every step becomes a step toward sustainability.

Could Tokyo lead the way as a global model for kinetic-powered cities? What do you think about this technology? What obstacles and concerns? What are pros and cons?

AI Is Reshaping Employment: How Secure Is Your Job?



We’re entering a new era where exponential business growth no longer equals exponential headcount.

Corporates are applying the FIFO method: Fit In Or F-ck Off.

Loyalty, tenure, and conformance are being replaced by capability, contribution, and commitment.

The numbers don’t lie!!

• Microsoft: Satya Nadella cut 15,000 jobs this year despite explosive revenue.

• Amazon: Andy Jassy says teams will be smaller and scrappier, with AI doing jobs people once did.

• Alphabet (Google): Sundar Pichai made clear strong growth ≠ more staff.

• Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Verizon, Intel: All cutting jobs despite profits.

And in Australia

• Atlassian: Sacked 150 via terse video calls.

• ANZ: CEO Nuno Matos demanding speed and radical change.

The question isn’t whether AI will take your job — it’s whether you’ll adapt fast enough to stay relevant.

So, how do you stay employable?

• Build AI literacy – learn how to use AI as your productivity partner.

• Show measurable contribution – be the person who makes tech worth it.

• Adapt mindset – replace entitlement with agility and value-creation.

As Allen Pathmarajah has always said  “ your people are not your greatest asset — your  rightpeople are your  greatest asset.”

The workplace of the future will reward those who fit in, skill up, and step up.

What’s your strategy to stay employable in the AI era?

5 pointers for corporates to handle #ai transformation

The Tech Council of Australia share 5 pointers to be on the AI ride . Maria Macnamara shares them succinctly in her LinkedIn post 

Now's the time to be brave and act. 

💎Develop your vision. 

💎Choose your niche and own it. 

...

💥There are many things to consider - here are 5 to get you started: 

1. be deliberate, move fast and collaborate. There's absolutely no time to waste. 

2.  plan for the transition of your workforce - they who will need to be re- educated, reskilled, redeployed, retained or retired. AI reduces weeks to minutes. 

3. manage the impact on the #environment

4. be conscious of security. The cyber threat is on a whole new level. 

5. be alert and alive to what's happening globally - clearly in China and the USA, Middle East, the Stans, the Global South and Africa. Enormous investments are being made there.
