Talking with Tech Leaders

Talking with... Simon Sear, Chief Innovator & Technical Evangelist

February 05, 2023 Michael Phair Season 1 Episode 24

Technical innovation is nothing without the human application. How the two elements work together is what the podcast is all about, which is what makes Simon Sear – Strategy & Innovation Expert – such a fascinating guest for episode 24.  

Joining host Michael Phair, Simon discusses how his education in Psychology played a role in his early career, takes us through a few career highlights, including CIO at BP, writing books about the Euro, working with Enron (yes, that Enron), and starting SPARCK with BJSS.

He offers views and insights on everything from automation to team building, explains how people are just like cars (sort of ) and answers a few quickfire personal questions too. There’s even time for a story about a lost dog finding their way home. It’s all well worth a listen.
