Theo Priestley FUTURIST
Wednesday, 14 January, 2026
Ever wondered what a futurist does? Well, it's not all time machines and crystal balls. Renowned futurist, best-selling author, and technologist, Theo Priestly, joins us to challenge your perception; it's less about predicting the future and more about preparing for it. He unveils his fascinating career trajectory from banking to technology and how this shift has informed his approach to futurism, emphasizing the need to ponder who bears the brunt of our technological decisions.As our conversation progresses, we look at the compelling concept of cross-pollination of ideas between industries. Using game development as an intriguing case study, we demonstrate how data-driven insights can dramatically impact decision-making in fields as diverse as architecture, urban design, and engineering. We also explore the idea of leveraging technology to fuel both incremental growth and genuine innovation. But what does this mean for the decision-making process at the CEO level? Theo argues every choice must be dissected under the microscope of who benefits - shareholders, customers, or employees?Finally, we dig into the complex minefield of AI ethics and data bias. Overlaying ethical data policies onto historically biased data is a task fraught with challenges; we delve deep into this topic. We also consider the role of consultants in shaping the corporate technology environment and how they navigate the introduction of new technologies and products in established companies. And just when you thought you had it all figured out, Theo introduces a paradigm-shifting idea - a device that could access the past. As we grapple with the implications of living in a 'post-truth' world, we ponder how technology could be used to access the source of truth. Join us for an engaging discourse that promises to disrupt your thinking and offer a fresh perspective on the future of technology and its ethical implications.Contact the Future Construct Podcast Produced by BIM Designs, Inc!
