On 18 February 2005, Morris Misel published his first blog post. Twenty-one years and 549,805 words later, this 1,000th article reflects on foresight, leadership, AI, decision-making and what has truly changed, and what hasn’t, the future of business.
If you want to see where the next 12 to 24 months are heading, don’t start with AI. Start with where serious money is being placed inside the machinery of business. Morris Misel interprets the Forbes Fintech 50 as a signal map showing how enterprise financial systems, embedded finance, identity verification and fraud prevention are quietly reshaping the foundations of business.
Leadership decisions now change faster than leaders expect. Morris Misel explains why speed is no longer the advantage it once was, and how prepared judgement helps leaders decide well under pressure.
Leadership today doesn’t feel harder because of technology alone. It feels heavier because the volume, speed, and consequence of decisions has changed. In this reflective piece, futurist Morris Misel explores leadership, AI, and human judgement, prompted by a recent conversation on the Beyond Obsolete podcast.
AI is quietly reshaping how we remember those who have passed. Futurist Morris Misel explores the rise of digital immortality, synthetic afterlives and the changing nature of grief, memory and identity. This is the next chapter of the afterlife, and it affects every sector.
South Australia’s launch of EdChat marks a turning point: AI is no longer banned in classrooms but embraced with safety and foresight. Morris Misel unpacks why this matters for education and why every CEO and decision maker should take note.
