Ep 32: Serious Lego

We live in an age where tomorrow’s waves are undeniably crashing today.

Innovation is happening every second and emerging technology is evolving with higher speed, capacity and processing power than what’s possible for any human being. And while technology is driving the change, counter-intuitively it is not where our focus should be. The organisations who will succeed in the digital age will do so by decoding what is innately human; curious intelligence. 

Dr. Kate Raynes-Goldie is a master of curiosity. After all, curiosity is a superpower in a world where disruption is the new normal. Those who are curious will adapt and thrive — lean into new possibilities, new pathways and new paradigms of thinking. Curious minds are primed to navigate change and to ignite new perspectives.

Today, Kate is a speaker, designer, innovation columnist, researcher, podcast host and a passionate creator of curious environments. She is a Producer of XR:WA, Australia’s largest immersive reality (VR/AR/MR) conference series which ran for the first time in 2019. She’s a Certified Facilitator of LEGO® Serious Play®, a methodology that boosts innovation, creativity and curiosity used by global brands such as IKEA, Virgin and Samsung.

As a speaker, Kate’s energy is playful and infectious and her content is in-depth and grounded in research. She ignites a curious journey for the audience acting as a virtual shaman who translates the mysterious world of VR, artificial intelligence, and big data to empower people with the insight to balance these technologies with a deeper self awareness of what it means to be human in the new age of innovation.
