Evolving Workforce
Work is changing. That's not a prediction anymore. It's just Tuesday. And the leaders doing it well, aren't the ones with all the answers. They're the ones asking better questions. I'm Dave Kenyon, and this is Evolving Workforce. Each episode I sit down with the people who are living this stuff, AI strategists, compliance experts, cybersecurity leaders, marketers, and workforce technology practitioners. The ones on the front line of how work is being redesigned right now. If you're a leader trying to guide your people through change, and let's be honest, we all are, this one's for you. Let's get into it.

Dave Kenyon sits down with David Thompson, CEO of OAHI, for an episode with a twist: David is Dave's own boss. They dig into what it really means to restructure a business around AI (not just bolt it onto existing products), why token-based pricing is about to catch a lot of buyers off guard, and why the $50 million AI spe...

The real anxiety AI creates in the workplace isn't about job security, it's about personal value.

The views expressed by Tim are purely his own and are not related to or hel...
Google brings you skeptics — AI brings you converters. And most businesses have no idea how AI decides who makes that shortlist. Dave Kenyon sits down with Joana Inch, Co-Founder and Head of Digital Strategy at Hat Media, to unpack how AI is reshaping the way businesses are found, chosen, and trusted — and why this affects every organisation listening, whether they've noticed it yet or not.

Dave Kenyon sits down with Stacey Kavanagh, Managing Director and Co-Founder of KJM Consulting, to unpack why organisations with great technology still struggle with governance, compliance, and accountability gaps.

In this episode of Evolving Workforce, Dave sits down with Dirk J Primus, Associate Professor at UNSW's Australian Graduate School of Management, where he researches strategy, innovation and technology adoption.
