About this episode

The episode explores how leaders can adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing technological landscape.

Are you ready to lead courageously in a world of rapid disruption and technological evolution? In the new episode of i loopen, a Deloitte podcast, we sit down with two visionary leaders: Terence Mauri, acclaimed disruption speaker, author of The Upside of Disruption, and MIT Entrepreneur Mentor; and Daniel Sunde-Hansen, Director and lead for Deloitte's Center for the Edge in the Nordics. Together with our podcast hosts, Danat Tekie and Julie McCarthy, they unpack what it means to be a Techno sapiens — evolving beyond Homo sapiens — and how leaders can build the "future-ready muscle" to thrive amid uncertainty. From AI's role in reshaping trust and decision-making to embracing courage over complacency, this episode is packed with insights to help leaders cultivate courageous strategies that embrace risk and experimentation, and build cultures that reward boldness and innovation, not just compliance. Whether you're in tech, HR, or business leadership, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on how to lead with confidence in the age of disruption. Ready to be inspired? Listen now and start living the future today!
