In Episode 2 of Looking Outside we’re joined by the super smart behavioral economist, author, speaker and podcast host Melina Palmer, Founder & CEO of The Brainy Business. Today we’re looking outside Brain Science.
Together Jo and Melina discuss how better understanding the scientific workings of the human brain can unlock not just a business competitive advantage but help you better understand yourself. They explore how our human brain has a bias for predictability, for what’s comfortable, of following the success path of others (herding) and the skills we should train within ourselves to push beyond the familiar or the socially predictive. We’re still working the human brain out but already there is a lot we can leverage from what brain science has told us. But with 35,000 decisions made every day an essential ingredient to brain science is art and creativity (so you can throw darts where your competitors are throwing noodles).
--
To look beyond the familiar, Melina recommends you speak with someone you know well, and who knows you well. Someone who can catch when you’re falling into predictable patterns and can offer an alternate route.

In Episode 4 of Looking Outside we’re joined by down-to-earth insights & marketing rockstar, Michelle Gansle, Vice President of Global Strategic Insights at McDonald's. Today we’re looking outside The Human.
Together Jo and Michelle discuss what it means to truly be human-led inside and outside of work, both by humanizing the people we work with and ourselves.
The Insights industry is in a continual state of transition, no more felt than during the pandemic. Michelle shares her observation of human nature from the past two years, within and outside of the office. In exploring human-centric leadership, Jo and Michelle discuss the skill of finding and cultivating your superhuman power, getting out of your comfort zone by cultivating curiosity, and how vulnerability and facing into emotions at work should be a natural part of leadership.
--
To look beyond the familiar, Michelle recommends you check out Upstream: The Quest to Solve Problems Before They Happen by Dan Heath.
She says to seek diverse views from people, podcasts and conferences. Or (my favorite) set yourself a challenge every month that will take you actively into new and sometimes uncomfortable places.
--
Michelle is the Vice President, Global Strategic Insights, and leads the McDonald’s Global Insights organization. Michelle and her team connect human truth with business strategy to drive growth.
Michelle recently drove the insights transformation at Mars Wrigley. Here she pushed the boundaries of Martech and Digital Adoption to create a more future focused organization with the development of a dedicated Foresight Team. Michelle has 28 years of experience in Marketing, Market Research & Business Development, for several global Fortune 500 Companies including Dell Computers, Clorox, Nestle and Mars.
Michelle has high integrity and a people-focused leadership style. Her passion for supporting diverse teams in realizing their potential shines through as does her love of the McDonald’s business and brand.
Prior to living in Chicago, Michelle had the opportunity to live and work in Europe for four years. In her free time, Michelle loves music, travelling the world, and checking out new restaurants. She hopes to get to 100+ countries in her lifetime and cannot wait to travel again, stopping off at our restaurants to enjoy a Sausage & Egg McMuffin along the way!

In Episode 3 of Looking Outside we’re joined by the very pragmatic and undoubtedly original Costas Papaikonomou, Co-Founder of Happen Group, a global innovation agency, and author of the Grumpy Innovator book series. Today we’re looking outside Innovation.
Together Jo and Costas explore the pitfalls of innovating in a silo, the risk of disrupting your own brands through transformation and the benefits of gaining insight from other categories.
With a significantly higher chance of failure than success, and most growth and hope placed on innovation inside a consumer packaged goods company, it’s a challenge from the start that’s often approached with fleeting optimism. Costas discusses his pragmatic, if skeptical (definitely grumpy), approach to creating innovation that lasts, that meet true consumer needs, and that leverage idea generation from across functions, categories and industries.
--
To look beyond the familiar, Costas recommends you literally go outside! Immerse yourself in the world your consumers are in, and clear your mind of cobwebs by stepping into a place of nature.
--
Costas Papaikonomou is Co-Founder of Happen Group, one of the leading creative innovation agencies of the 21st century. A career in innovation – studying, dreaming, creating, researching and realizing new products. He is author of the Grumpy Innovator book series which feature musings, aphorisms & polemics about the ugly reality of consumer product innovation, in particular in large corporations. An attempt at understanding why so many innovations fail, why that is often wholly unnecessary and what may help tilt the balance more favorably. Costas built a life – and co-founded a thriving business – in innovation by combining market insight, manufacturing and commercial rigors into one creative offer. He advises how to win by honoring all three, and avoiding a perpetuating challenge for many people and businesses where functions exist in siloes that hamper cross fertilization as well as multi-disciplinary careers.

To kick off Looking Outside we’re joined in Episode 1 by talented and bold marketer Rose Jia, Head of Growth Marketing at Amazon Grocery. Today we’re looking outside Marketing.
Together Jo and Rose explore the tried and true practice of Marketing, and how organizations can stretch beyond familiar predefined pathways (and results) from marketing by employing a new mindset.
They discuss what kind of benefits await from embracing your prior roots and knowledge base (banking in Rose’s case) in approaching your current field, the advantage of collaborating with surprising functions, how we should be tapping into our natural curiosity to discipline our minds in multiple fields in order to better accomplish what we need to in our chosen one, why scaring your company with probable future disruptions is necessary to build a culture of risk taking and therein learning.
--
To look beyond the familiar Rose recommends you go down the Wikipedia rabbit hole, learning about something surprising. Or do the same with podcasts, her favorites for exploring beyond the typical norm: Imaginary Worlds, Reply All & Planet Money.
--
Rose Jia is an award-winning leader who currently heads up growth marketing for Amazon’s grocery division, including brands like Amazon Fresh. She and her team drive profitable growth through awareness, discovery, conversion, partnerships, and go-to-market initiatives.
She is also considered a "Renaissance Marketer" — a multi-disciplined leader who leverages her wide and differing industry knowledge to build patented innovative products and solutions.

Looking Outside comes to you LIVE from the Dubai Future Forum, the largest gathering of futurists in the world.
In this conversation we talk about sustainable design with Arup's Director of Foresight, Josef Hargrave. Arup is focused on creating more sustainable built environments, and Josef speaks to how designing for the future needs to be anchored in decisions for the present, by understanding deeply the structural limitations and infrastructure of today.
Josef details several projects he's run for designing out to 2050 across geographies exploring building for cities, having worked in and with over 30 cities around the world. He boils success down to context: it's easy to identify what is changing in the world, but the effort should be in what it means to the project and stakeholders holding the brief. Contextualizing the environment you're designing for will influence how you design for the future and the future populations living in this infrastructure.
Jo and Josef also discuss how foresight done well should ultimately be about making yourself useful to the organization that you're a part of. As the company evolves over time, as Arup has in the 13 years Josef has been there, the application of foresight needs to evolve with it.
--
If Josef was not a futurist, he would be an artist or designer. Or open a Chinese restaurant, so he can craft something by and for himself.
--
Josef Hargrave is Global Foresight Leader responsible for the delivery of Arup’s foresight services, tools, and projects globally, leading a multi-disciplinary team of programme managers, designers, and consultants that specialise in trends research, design thinking, strategic planning, innovation programmes, thought leadership, and vision making for both internal and external clients. Over the past 10+ years, Josef has delivered projects in over 20 countries, working for some of the world's leading organisations in property, technology, chemicals, mobility, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, consumer goods, and finance.
Outside of Arup, Josef is an Associate Lecturer at Central Saint Martins as part of the MA for Innovation Management (London), a member of the World Cities Summit Science of Cities Knowledge Council (Singapore), a member of the International Panel of Experts at Urban Redevelopment Authority (Singapore), a member of the Friends of the Forum at Dubai Future Foundation (Dubai), and a member of the Advisory Board at Manchester Institute of Innovation Research (Manchester).

Inspired by a conversation at the 2023 CES Food Tech Expo, today we discuss how one of the most traditional industries is being transformed through Culinary Creativity, with CEO and Founder of Hungry House, a platform for creative chefs, Kristen Barnett.
In creating Hungry House, Kristen shares how she puts the values of both the chef and the customer first, by focusing on food quality. Her platform allows the customer to add more meaning to the choices they make in how they explore and sustain through food, while the culinary creator, the chef, can ideate a full story around what they bring to the plate.
Stories are a critical path to the future of food, Kristen says, because food has always been about more than just what you eat but the stories around the farmer, the sourcing, the produce, the chef. “It’s always been about content,” she says, and through her direct to consumer platform, Kristen is able to nurture chefs to create compelling content and meaningful meals.
Kristen shares how she has always been a food lover, and wanted that to be part of her career, but experiencing lyme disease in her early 20's caused her to re-asses how what she ate and her lifestyle were part of the symptoms and solutions of her health. Her ‘early life crisis’ pushed her to make a hard pivot towards a career dedicated to food with a passion.
Both in the food industry, Jo and Kristen also discuss how the food ecosystem is being disrupted, and how behind the food tech fads and old-school brand of the white-hat chef, sit creative culinary minds who know how to integrate food ideas, with compelling social content and convert it to commerce.
--
To look outside, Kristen goes to food pop ups anywhere she’s traveling but especially in her home city of New York. She says food pop ups showcase the new ways in which consumers can access food and chefs innovate in how to get their food to people, which yields different ways to think about things like a constant source of inventive thinking.
--
Kristen Barnett is the founder & CEO of Hungry House, a NYC-based startup that partners with digitally-native chefs to bring their culinary ideas into reality through the Hungry House platform.
Kristen started her career in the New York City office of The Boston Consulting Group. She unfortunately soon began to struggle with her health after contracting Chronic Lyme disease and she became seriously ill. Desperate to feel better, she turned to dietary change to feel better and she had miraculous results. Determined to make a bigger impact, she left consulting to pursue a career in the food industry.
Since then, she’s worked at Dig (formerly Dig Inn) where she was Director of Strategic Operations and led supply chain strategy, menu development and their food delivery and ghost kitchen business. Kristen then went on to join Zuul, a ghost kitchen tech startup where she served as Chief Operating Officer and led product strategy to develop a proprietary tech platform and multiple virtual brands. Zuul was acquired by ghost kitchen competitor, Kitchen United in summer 2021, after which, she went on to found Hungry House.
Having borne witness to the explosive growth in the ghost kitchen industry, mainly with a commoditized and unhealthy product offering, she founded Hungry House in summer 2021 to create the first direct-to-consumer ghost kitchen company focusing on sustainability, diversity, quality & transparency.
Kristen graduated from Cornell University magna cum laude and is passionate about plant-based eating and supporting other women in the food industry through a semi-regular women-in-food dinner series.

Looking Outside comes to you LIVE from the Dubai Future Forum, the largest gathering of futurists in the world.
In this conversation we talk about disruptive technology and transformative blue sky innovation with Airbus Senior Vice President and Head of Disruptive Research and Technology, Dr Grzegorz (Greg) Ombach.
Greg describes the mindset shift he experienced in leading innovative transformation across various industries, each with their own lifecycle - from Telecommunications with 1 to 2 year innovation cycles, then to Automotive where it moved out to 7-10 years and now in the Aerospace industry where he has 30-50 years in sight. As Greg considers future disruption, he is looking out to the next 50 years with a clear goal in mind. For Airbus, this takes the ambition of the company from accessible air travel, to sustainable air travel, and then to aerospace.
Greg describes how this focus on transformation through disruptive technology requires active monitoring and proactive imagining. At Airbus, this is enabled firstly by enlisting open and curious people called 'Scouts' whose role it is to spot new trends across varied regions. These people are inhouse engineers who have a finger on the pulse of the air travel and aerospace ecosystem in which they operate daily and are therefore in the best position to assess the viability of the trends for the business. Accompanying this is the center of research where the 'Blue Sky Thinkers' live. Their job is to come up with moonshot ideas that are turned into pilots.
Jo and Greg also discuss the need to look more broadly, assessing a product based on its ecosystem - what keeps the structure standing on the outside as well as the components that keep it relevant on the inside.
--
If Greg was not a futurist, he would be sailing around the world. He gets energy and drive from exploring new places, from discovering new places and being able to adjust the course based on the conditions.
--
Dr Grzegorz (Greg) Ombach, is Head of Disruptive Research & Technology, Senior Vice President at Airbus. Greg is passionate about managing technological innovation from an idea to broad market adoption. His combination of technology, leadership and commercial expertise together with a truly global outlook, having worked across Europe, the USA and China, puts him in a solid position to drive international market success for high-tech innovations. As a Head of Disruptive R&T, he shapes Airbus’s ability to be the global leader in innovation and future technologies across all Airbus divisions. He works very closely with all businesses and divisions globally. Before as Executive Vice President, Head of Battery Systems Business and Group Strategy and Innovation at Dräxlmaier, he was responsible for the strategy for the business and led the entire product commercialisation, from the initial concept to high volume production of cutting-edge technology in a premium market for the automotive sector. One example is the first high volume production of an 800V battery system for the Porsche Taycan. Earlier, he worked at Qualcomm as a Global Vice President and General Manager of a breakthrough automotive technology licensing business. He also has experience from Siemens VDO, Continental and Brose.
Greg holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Silesian University of Technology, Poland and a Certificate in Global Management from INSEAD, The Business School for the World. He has also been awarded Guest Professorship at the Zhejiang University in China.

Looking Outside perspectives: Philip Ryan, Partner, Head of Innovation & Futures Ipsos Strategy3
Looking Outside
02/15/22 • 30 min
We go to philosophical and thoughtful places in Episode 5 of Looking Outside with strategist Philip Ryan, Partner and Head of Innovation & Futures at Ipsos Strategy3. Today we’re looking outside perspectives.
Philip shares how his curious mind explores varied and broad topics, which allows him to pull in vast perspectives, that lead directly to more robust strategic thinking.
Jo and Philip also discuss the benefit of pushing yourself into uncomfortable spaces and places in challenging your own personal status quo. Whether it’s exploring new cultures, learning about how big ideas shape what we think today, or questioning your own preconceptions with new nuggets of thought provoking knowledge. Yup, it can even be as simple as sitting down and having a conversation with someone who has a vastly different life journey to yours.
Fascinated with how big ideas were framed in the past, shape our present, and can influence our future, Philip also speaks on the history of ideas.
--
To look beyond the familiar, Philip, unsurprisingly, has a broad range of sources to recommend: The Rest is History podcast, https://waitbutwhy.com a blog breaking down surprising factors of big ideas, https://nowiknow.com a daily newsletters educating on something new, https://nextdraft.com a newsletter of fascinating news from Dave Pell, 'the editor of the internet', and Warren Berge’s book A More Beautiful Question. Philip's personal go to is also to literally go outside (a popular choice, I also highly recommend it).
--
Philip Ryan is a Partner in Ipsos Strategy3, Ipsos’ marketing strategy consultancy, where he leads the innovation and futures advisory business, supporting brands as as they look to envision and create the future. He brings two decades of expertise in both industry and consulting, having been an SVP at Citi and an executive at Accenture. Philip has also worked in Marketing Strategy at LG Electronics and within the Customer Care group at Waterford Crystal. His clients include American Express, The Coca-Cola Company, P&G, Cigna, Conagra, Delta, HP, Mars, Mastercard, Honda and Hilton.
Philip holds an MBA from Columbia Business School and a BA in European Studies from Trinity College Dublin. He grew up primarily in Ireland and currently lives in Brooklyn, but bounced around, living in various cities in Europe, Asia and the US.

Looking Outside storytelling: Dr Belinda Calderone, Philanthropic Proposals Manager Monash University
Looking Outside
04/26/22 • 31 min
In Episode 10 of Looking Outside we traverse the past and present of storytelling with educator, scholar, and my good friend from Australia, Dr Belinda Calderone, Philanthropic Proposals Manager at Monash University.
Belinda shares her learnings in creating a compelling case for change through human focused storytelling. As well as the pitfalls of storytelling, where a clear start and end is missing (fairly common!) or not walking forward along the story path.
Having researched fairy tales as part of her Literary doctorate, Belinda debunks the idea of the pure story and explains the role of sociohistorical cycles in storytelling.
Belinda and Jo also discuss the importance of being open to hearing diverse stories and the power of community for idea generation.
--
To look beyond the familiar, Belinda takes herself outside of her profession with poetry writing as “the rules of poetry are so much looser”. She actively pulls that creative expression into her writing at work to push the boundaries of her proposals.
Belinda’s favorite author is Margaret Atwood, and her favorite story is Cat’s Eye.
You can also check out the first story ever written, The Epic of Gilgamesh, mentioned by Belinda.
--
Belinda is Philanthropic Proposals Manager at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. With a background in academia, Dr Belinda Calderone holds a doctorate in Literary Studies from Monash University, has published scholarly works and spoken at conferences about the origins of the fairy tale genre, and has taught literature at several universities. Today, she’s focused on making a positive community impact. As Monash University's Philanthropic Proposals Manager, Belinda works with academics with socially impactful projects and helps them to craft the story of their research to inspire support from passionate philanthropists.
