Since childhood, I’ve been captivated by stories that stretched the imagination... "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", "Lost in Space", "Star Trek", "The Matrix" and, of course, "Star Wars". Beneath their adventure and spectacle, these tales shared something timeless: the belief that curiosity and courage can transform the world.

We often think of the “singularity” in technological terms — the moment when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence. Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Nearer" brings a fresh perspective where he assesses his 1999 prediction that AI will reach human level intelligence by 2029. But the reality unfolding today feels less like a single event and more like multiple forces colliding at once. We are witnessing a tsunami of change coming at us from every direction!

For decades, the global order has felt familiar: the United States at the center, its dollar the default currency, its alliances framing the rules of the game. But the ground is shifting... Slowly, unevenly, and chaotically, yet unmistakably. We are not yet at the end of U.S. dominance. But we are clearly witnessing the end of U.S. unchallenged dominance.

We celebrate creativity as the spark behind innovation, progress, and human achievement. But let’s be honest... it doesn’t always flow freely. We all too often find ourselves blocked, stuck, or silencing our own ideas before they ever leave the page. Why? Because creativity has enemies. And they’re sneaky!

We’ve all had them... flashes of insight in the shower, on a walk, pedaling furiously on your Peloton, or during a late-night brainstorm. And how many of us share the experience of seeing a new product or service and saying: “I thought of that… but I didn’t do anything about it!”

Creativity has shaped our survival—from the time early humans gathered around fires to share stories of the hunt and preserving them with prehistoric cave paintings that offer vivid and mysterious windows into the earliest days of humanity. While other species evolved fangs, claws, or wings, we evolved imagination.

It turns out, creativity behaves a lot like a muscle. Use it, and it grows. Ignore it, and it gets a little flabby. But the beautiful part? Even 15 minutes a day can rewire how you think, how you problem-solve, and how you see the world around you.

If you think about it, creativity is why we’re here at all. Long before we built cities or wrote symphonies, we were imagining things that didn’t yet exist—tools, stories, futures—and turning them into reality. Creativity gave us language, culture, and problem-solving abilities that kept us alive when physically stronger species disappeared.

I’ve been thinking, lately, a lot about the role of fiction—specifically science fiction—in shaping how I see the world. Not just for entertainment, but for the doors it quietly opens in our minds. Watching "Star Trek: Discovery", I found myself less fixated on alien diplomacy or warp drives and more intrigued by something subtler: the sheer persistence of curiosity.

Let’s be honest... When most people hear the word statistics, they think of long-forgotten math classes, blurry chalkboards, and professors who spoke in Greek — literally and figuratively. If you loved statistics in school, congratulations... You’re a unicorn! If you hated it, then you are in good company.

At RPM-Academy, we believe that success in the "future of work" no longer belongs to the busiest, but to the best coordinators of intelligence—human and artificial.

Input → Process → Output is a deceptively powerful model. It is a simple but effective way of depicting the chain of causality that describes, I think, all phenomena. Continuous improvement specialists rely on this model... our starting point for assessing the current state and informing the development of a future state, whether product or service. But what if we applied that same model to something even more profound: the development of human potential?

In 2022, more than 5 million people in Canada met the diagnostic criteria for a mood, anxiety or substance use disorder, with the prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders increasing substantially over the previous 10 years.

From the moment we open our eyes to the world, curiosity pulls us forward. It’s not unique to humans — animals explore, prod, and investigate their environments.

There’s something invigorating about a reset — not because what came before was wrong, but because what comes next could be even better.

...global tensions, deepening divisions, and rising anxiety, and leadership has never mattered more— and yet, never felt more fragile.

The world is changing—faster, louder, and with far more uncertainty than ever before...

Are We Truly Investing in Learning and Creating a Sustainable Learning Culture, or Just Building a Library?

The current e-learning paradigm, characterized by static content and standardized courses, is rapidly becoming obsolete.

Fortune 1000 companies pledged over $340 billion to promote racial diversity. Today, many of those same companies are scaling back...
