132: ThinkWORKS 132 Stop Fixing People When It Is The Choice Architecture At Blame.

When people go wrong, and you notice a pattern in their behaviour, don't simply assume the person is making irrational choices; always inspect the architecture of the choices themselves. Sometimes, they don't need more advice or training, sometimes the systems they operate within need looking at.

131: ThinkWORKS 131 Why More Knowledge Doesn't Always Mean Better Systems.

Gaining knowledge is not the same as doing what you know. And when systems, aspects of life, processes etc don't improve, we often fall into the trap that we need more knowledge... but the failure to launch is not necessarily down to a lack of knowledge. This episode explains why, and show how to make sure that gaining knowledge does lead to improved systems & processes.

130: ThinkWORKS 130 Is AI Really The Problem?

AI Armageddon — or are we worrying about the wrong thing? As the people building the world's most powerful AI systems warn about the risks ahead, Darren asks whether the greatest danger is really AI going rogue — or what humans choose to do with it. From warfare and cyberattacks to creativity, discovery and human potential, this ThinkWORKS asks a bigger question: What kind of future are we choosing to build with AI?

129: ThinkWORKS 129 Defending the Past Is Sometimes The Biggest Threat

Change is inevitable. But when disruption arrives, our first instinct is often to protect what we already have. What if the better question isn't “How do we stop this?” but “What does this make possible?” This week on ThinkWORKS , we explore why defending yesterday can sometimes be the biggest threat to tomorrow — and how to turn disruption into opportunity.

126: ThinkWORKS 126 You Don't Need More Information.

We live in a world drowning in information, but starving for meaning. In this episode of ThinkWORKS , Darren explores why consuming more doesn't always make us wiser — and why the real challenge is learning to filter, connect and understand what actually matters. Because sometimes the answer isn't more information. It's making better sense of what you already know.

125: ThinkWORKS 125 How Do We Know What To Believe?
