From The Archives: Mike Walsh

In this episode of the GDA Podcast, Gail Davis and Kyle Davis sit down with Mike Walsh, futurist, author, and CEO of global innovation research agency Tomorrow, to explore how technology, changing human behavior, and new ways of working are reshaping the future of business.

Mike explains that the future isn't driven by technology alone—real transformation happens when people change how they behave, leaders change how they make decisions, and organizations rethink how they operate. He explores what it takes for larger companies to stay agile, how artificial intelligence could reshape knowledge work, and why culture remains an organization's true operating system.

Key topics include:

• Why understanding human behavior is just as important as understanding new technology
• How larger organizations can stay agile by creating smaller, focused teams
• Why the future of work is about determining what people do best and what machines do best
• How AI could shift people from simply doing work to designing how work gets done
• Why future leaders will need both human empathy and computational thinking
• Why digital transformation requires changing mindsets and processes—not simply upgrading technology

Mike’s message is a reminder that technology itself isn't what creates transformation. The real opportunity lies in how people work together, make decisions, adapt, and use technology to move their organizations forward.
