✳️ It was an honour to speak with Professor Clive Smallman on humanity's approach to some of its most perilous moments in history on the "Life The Battlefield" programme.
✳️ Professor Smallman is an incredible human being for many reasons, notthe least of which is that he is able to communicate his vast store of knowledge and life experience to us on a level of abstraction that we can all grasp.
✳️ Obviously, it makes me proud to say that I am one of the people Professor Smallman inspired to see the world in a new way and go for my goals.
So, tuck in, relax, and take in this chat.
You will gain the following information from this interview:
⚔️ Is it necessary to be concerned about AI? ( Skynet )
⚔️ Academics concerned that students may cheat more on the Chat GPT and
hence learn less
⚔️ Is there any truth to global warming and climate change?
⚔️ Methods for Establishing Trustworthy Leadership
⚠️ About Professor Clive Smallman:
His plans of studying geography or oceanography at a top university were torn-up in the space of three letters printed on his high school examination results: “D E O” (D and E explain themselves. “O” signifies he didn't even make it to the advanced grades, and was the shape his mouth made when reading said results).
Having blotted his copybook so spectacularly, Clive became and remains a serial student. This culminated in a Ph.D. in, ironically, operational risk management. In his doctoral research, Clive worked with a chemical company that had recently lost two colleagues in an explosion and fire, with 15 seriously injured.
Clive is also a serial student of ‘wickedness’, researching, educating, and mentoring in the space of risk and crisis management for over 30 years. Clive couples that deep expertise with an earlier career in artificial intelligence, where he applied machine learning to wicked problems (for example: tomato plant disease diagnosis; adaptive battlefield technology; gas well analysis).
Clive specialises in equipping executive leaders and their teams to tame wicked problems through improved critical thinking and creative problem-solving.
He brings clarity, insight, and a very good sense of humour to all of his work.
