TWF! Tech Wave Forum

In this episode, instead of talking technology, we explore the people factors, performance coaching, and leadership needed to get it right. Our host and CIF CEO David Terrar interviewed Nick Powell, who explains biohacking, his book Limitless, and we also discuss how his experience as a UK MMA champion and Judo Black Belt influences his approach and thinking.

Our host and CIF CEO David Terrar talks to Duane Jackson about cloud, business software, and the start-up scene. Duane is a serial entrepreneur who has founded, grown, and then sold two successful software as a service businesses. He has an inspiring back story, gave us great advice, insights, and experience that he relates to about the cloud space from before we called it cloud, to now, and what’s next.

Our host and CIF CEO David Terrar interviewed Lenovo’s AI lead Emily Barrett about her definition of AI, some AI history, her take on how GenAI has democratised the topic, the kind of use cases she’s seeing, what excites her about what’s coming next, as well as her own, unmissable, AI show produced by Disruptive LIVE (which we highly recommend).

For episode 10 of the 2024 season of our weekly show, TWF! (Tech Wave Forum), we are talking about the metaverse. Our host and CIF CEO David Terrar sets the scene with his perspective on why this immersive technology is important, and then he interviews Dr Joshua Stanton of Disruptive Live explaining their open standards, portable, browser based approach with new platform Spaces Metaverse. Josh explains the thinking, and shows practical use cases.

We talk to someone who has been in the UK CIO 100, and the UK’s Top 50 most influential women in IT. Our host and CIF CEO David Terrar interviewed Georgina Owens, the CTO of William Hill. She explains how she is digitally transforming a well known, 90 year old brand on the UK High Street. We find out about her approach to that transformation, and she’s given us great ideas about how you future proof your organisation.

We talked to a law firm which specialises in technology and data. Our host and CIF CEO David Terrar interviewed Garfield Smith. He’s the founder and managing director of the firm, and we explored legal issues for tech start-ups, larger corporates, all aspects of dealing with data, and how those legal issues are changed by the AI wave that we are all experiencing.
