In this Never Normal Heroes debut, Peter Hinssen and Frederik Anseel, Dean of Sydney Business School and professor of leadership, dive into the impact of AI, geopolitical turbulence and rapid digital disruption on the way organizations prepare for change.
Frederik explains why traditional forecasting and annual budgets no longer work, and why leaders must build collective capability, strengthen social skills, and develop the courage to act without perfect information.
He calls it “running in the fog”—building the muscle to anticipate, adapt and stay resilient while the world shifts around you.
They look at everything from the future of higher education to the rise of adaptive leadership, offering a clear, grounded take on how leaders can stay resilient and move forward in an age of constant uncertainty.

This week on Radar – by nexxworks, your favourite digital musketeers – Peter, Steven, and Pascal – return with a whirlwind of updates, hot takes, and tech-fueled banter.
Peter’s teasing a new book. Steven's been nerding out on Starlink beaming Wi-Fi into planes (goodbye in-flight boredom!). And Pascal? Let’s just say he’s got thoughts – big thoughts – on China’s AI game.
From robotic marathons to AI therapists with boundary issues, the trio dives deep into the wild, weird, and world-changing shifts in tech. They break down:
-
How China’s AI strategy is out-iterating the West
-
Why shopping with OpenAI could make impulse buying dangerously easy
-
The rise of AI companions (Meta’s Llama gets compared to Dieselgate – yes, really)
-
What the US–China tech race means for your next online ad
-
And why AR shopping in China is so much more than gimmicky filters
Toss in a few zingers, a surprising take on yearly AI reviews (should ChatGPT get a performance appraisal?), and reflections on the future of AI scientists vs. human creativity, and you've got a spicy episode not to miss.
Grab your earbuds. It's bold. It's brainy. It's Radar.
