Digital transformation (DX) is no longer a discretionary choice but a fundamental strategic requirement for survival and growth. However, despite global spending on DX programmes projected to reach $3.9 trillion by 2027, only about 35 per cent of organisations report success. One cause of failure is a technology-first approach that neglects the essential component of resilience.   Resilience in digital transformation is the capacity to maintain operational continuity while navigating change, such as rapid technological shifts, intensifying cyber-threats and evolving regulatory requirements. DX is a primary driver of organisational resilience, improving a firm’s ability to survive and even grow during…

Emotional maturity is not about suppressing feelings or always appearing calm. Instead, psychology defines it as the ability to understand emotions, manage them effectively, and respond to life’s situations with awareness and balance. People who are emotionally mature tend to build stronger relationships, handle stress better, and navigate challenges without being overwhelmed. Here are eight widely recognised signs of emotional maturity, explained through a psychological lens. One of the strongest indicators of emotional maturity is taking responsibility for one’s emotions. Emotionally mature individuals recognize that while situations and people may trigger feelings, how they respond is their own choice. Rather…

The story of the green transition is often told through technology. But behind the blades and cables are people – engineers, medics and advocates – whose work, and lives, are shaped by the winds of change Supported by: “Bloody hell, it’s enormous!” That was my first reaction on seeing a new wind turbine blade at close quarters, outside its factory in the city of Baoding, China’s renewable energy powerhouse. That visit some years ago brought home to me the sheer scale of the technology. It was an impression confirmed later, gazing out from the north Kent coast at the vast…

“Oh, you know me; I’m a perfectionist.” Many, if not most, of us have either heard someone else say something like that or we’ve uttered it ourselves. But what does that really mean? What if there’s more than one kind of perfectionism, and what kinds of coping techniques might be useful for someone who identifies as a perfectionist? In a recent study, researchers built on prior work by looking at changes in how much people were using mindfulness and self-compassion techniques over a two-week period. They studied how people’s use of these approaches was linked to how they felt (i.e.,…

Love is great when spoken, but greatest when shown. Do little things daily to show your loved ones you care. Yesterday afternoon I was sitting on a park bench in the early afternoon when an elderly couple pulled their car up under a nearby oak tree. They rolled down the windows and turned up some jazz music on the car stereo. Then the man got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door for the woman, took her hand and guided her about ten feet away from the car, and they slow danced to a…

The soft exoskeleton- credit, screengrab via the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) South Korean engineers have developed a soft, shirt-like exoskeleton to give individuals with degenerative muscle conditions more mobility and independence.

Widely regarded as one of the world’s most influential skateboarders, Tony Hawk paved the way for the sport to become what it is today. In his retirement, though, Hawk has pivoted to philanthropy. Through his nonprofit, The Skatepark Project, Hawk has helped fund the construction of nearly 700 public skateparks across all 50 states. Since 2002, the organization has awarded $13 million to fund these parks, which are enjoyed by an estimated 17 million people annually. But Hawk’s goal isn’t just to give people a safe place to access action sports like skateboarding. Part of the organization’s mission is to give young…
