What happens when the pace of change overtakes the pace of learning - or even understanding? And what if the old rules no longer apply, but we simply haven't noticed?

Season 4 - Episode 3
Changes - The World After Midnight
with Eddie Obeng
In this episode, host Robert Digings speaks with Eddie Obeng - world-renowned speaker, educator, author, and founder of Pentacle: The Virtual Business School. Eddie has been described as the Rockstar of Business Education, influencing leaders and organisations worldwide, including 40% of the FTSE 100.
Eddie’s central idea - the world after midnight - describes the shift to a world where the rules have changed, but most leaders and teams are still relying on outdated assumptions and beliefs.
Together they explore:
- ⏳ Why the pace of change now exceeds our capacity to learn
- 🌀 The difference between events (which evaporate) and patterns (which persist)
- 🧩 The four types of change - Painting by Numbers, Movie, Quest, and Lost in the Fog - and how leaders should respond to each
- 🧠 Why our biology and neurology make us naturally resistant to change - and how leaders can work with that rather than against it
- 💬 The counterintuitive value of stakeholders who understand but disagree - and why they are “gold dust” for any project
- 🚫 The dangers of treating AI and technology as silver bullets - and why enhancing and empowering people is more effective than replacing them
- 🌱 Why dreaming a better dream isn’t indulgent - it’s essential for transformation
