ABC Radio Australia – Tech Spot
Business Futurist | Foresight Strategist
If you’ve read this far, something probably connected.
Maybe it put words to something you’d been sensing but couldn’t quite land. Maybe it made something complicated feel clearer. Maybe it unsettled a position you thought you’d settled.
Good. That’s where this work lives.
Not forecasting. Not scenarios at 2050. Not more noise. What’s already moving. The shifts most organisations can’t yet see, name, or understand the full weight of. What it means. What to do about it while it’s still a possibility, not a problem. Short term and long.
Morris Misel has been doing this for 30 years across 160 industries, with boards, executive teams, and leadership groups in Australia and internationally. More than 2,800 engagements. Over a million people a year through conferences, boardrooms, and media.

A business futurist on ABC Radio’s Tech Spot goes beyond gadget reviews and app news. The focus is on what technology shifts mean for work, organisations, trust, and human behaviour — interpreting signals most people sense but cannot yet name, and making the implications clear before they become urgent problems for leaders and teams.
Media commentary on technology trends gives organisations an early signal — but only if they listen beyond the headline. The question is not what the technology does; it is what it changes about human behaviour, trust, and decision-making. Organisations that act on those second-order questions before competitors notice gain meaningful lead time and more considered choices.
Most technology commentary focuses on capability — what a tool can do — rather than consequence — what it changes about people, work, and organisations. A foresight strategist reframes the conversation: not ‘here is the new thing’ but ‘here is what shifts, what stays, and what leaders need to decide while there is still room to decide strategically.’
Technology journalism typically covers what is new. Foresight commentary on ABC Radio covers what is arriving — shifts already in motion that have not yet been named or understood at scale. The distinction matters because organisations need lead time, not just headlines. Naming the shift early creates the possibility of a considered, strategic response rather than a reactive one.
Watch for shifts in human trust and decision-making — not just what technology enables, but what it disrupts between people. When automation accelerates or AI enters the workflow, these are not purely technology questions. They are leadership and culture questions. ABC Radio Australia foresight commentary consistently surfaces these signals before they reach boardroom agendas as crises.
