Move 37, New Knowledge and the Future of Tech Talent

There’s a moment in the world of AI that has captivated me recently, and if you listened to my latest FutureTech Podcast with Lucasz Szpruch, you’ll know what I mean.

It’s something called Move 37, and it’s a reference to the 37th move in the famous Go match where Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo shocked the world with a move no human would have made, and yet, it worked.

Digital Transformation – How to Thrive in a Tech-Driven Future

Digital transformation… what does it really mean? It’s a phrase that gets thrown around a lot, often with a vague sense of urgency. But at its core, digital transformation is about how technology is fundamentally reshaping the way we work, live, and operate. 

How AI and Data are Transforming the Legal Sector

There’s a quiet revolution happening in the legal sector, and AI and data are powering it. For an industry known for its risk aversion and love of tradition, the pace of change is actually amazing. In fact, I’d go as far as saying that what we’re seeing today in LegalTech feels a lot like what happened in FinTech over the past decade. A total reimagining of processes, talent, and business models, with technology at the heart. 

Building High-Performing Teams in a Hybrid World: A Call to Action

At Hydrogen Group, high-performing teams are at the core of our business. Our new recruits learn from those around them, our teams thrive through shared expertise and camaraderie, and our leaders inspire us to push the boundaries of success.

What makes our situation even more unique is that we have five generations working side by side, from fresh graduates in their 20s to seasoned sales leaders with decades of experience.

Why 2025 is NOT the year to build an empire!

As we dive into 2025, I’m seeing businesses across industries, particularly in financial services, buzzing with cautious optimism.

There’s a general feeling that we’re through the worst, and after a year of laying solid foundations in 2024, many are now asking the big question, “How do we scale effectively?”.

“White-Collar Disruption” How AI is Reshaping Higher Level Professions.

As the conversation around AI continues to evolve, there’s a new concept grabbing headlines: white-collar disruption.

Unlike the blue-collar automation narrative, which focuses on machinery replacing manual labour, white-collar disruption addresses AI’s growing impact on office-based, professional roles.

Why the build-up to Christmas is the perfect time to deepen your client relationships.

As we head into December, it’s tempting to think that the Christmas season is about slowing down.

I’d argue however, that as meetings, deadlines and everyday pressures start to lighten, we’re offered a rare chance to nurture our client relationships, deepen our connections, and set ourselves up for a flying start in January.

The Future of Work: Why hybrid working is here to stay

Hybrid working has become a game-changer for businesses like ours, especially in industries like recruitment where the nature of work has traditionally been office-based.

Before COVID, sales roles were synonymous with long hours, often filled by younger employees with fewer family commitments.

The impact of generative AI on the legal sector

Looking at the current state of AI within the legal sector, it’s clear that the potential benefits are huge, yet many firms still hesitate to adopt these technologies fully.

In my opinion, despite being largely underutilised, generative AI could transform legal practices, particularly in areas like contract compliance and commercial reviews.

The role of Big Tech in shaping public opinion and the responsibility they bear

According to a recent blog post, Meta, the force behind Facebook and Instagram, has taken a significant step by aiming to "remove speech targeting ‘Zionists’ in several areas where [their] process showed that the speech tends to be used to refer to Jews and Israelis with dehumanizing comparisons, calls for harm or denials of existence."

For me, this decision highlights the influential role these companies play in our daily lives and the responsibility they carry to maintain a balanced and unbiased flow of information.

Is Saudi’s eco-city realistic or a mirage?

It’s been a few years since Mohammed bin Salman announced plans for a high tech linear eco-city in the desert, and it is still splitting opinion. I'm a futurist who believes in positive change that technology can bring to the world, but I’m a realistic one, not one that lives in cloud cuckoo land where anything is possible.

Is Tech Turbocharging Life Sciences?

Life sciences, technology and engineering are converging to create some incredible solutions to health challenges. 

The industry is much broader today, and I think a lot of that is down to technology. Globally, the life sciences landscape is rapidly changing and expanding due to the advancements of emerging technology like artificial intelligence and big data.
