Technology is changing how work works. Get the verdict.

/SHIFT is a YouTube channel on the technology shifts reshaping organisations. Each episode digs through the filings, the job posts and the case studies, puts the receipts on screen, and ends with a call: act now, prepare, watch or ignore.

Eight to twelve minutes an episode. No hype, no "it depends".

For people who have to have a view

When someone asks what you make of the latest tech shift, "it depends" isn't an answer.

Clients, boards and bosses want a position, and they want to know it will stand up. /SHIFT does the reading so you can walk in with one.

01

A verdict, every time

Act now, prepare, watch or ignore, with the reason in one sentence and what would change the call.

02

Receipts, not vibes

Named companies, named people, real numbers with their source and date, shown on screen as the original page.

03

Hype beside reality

What a shift claims to deliver, next to what it has actually shipped, and who is winning and losing.

04

Usable by Monday

Specific questions to ask and checks to run, so you leave with something to do as well as something to say.

How an episode is made

Research first. Opinion earned.

Every /SHIFT episode goes through the same process before a camera is switched on.

01 / DIG

Read everything

Filings, earnings calls, job postings, vendor docs, analyst forecasts and the case studies nobody else reads to the end.

02 / TEST

Hype vs reality

Put each claim beside what has shipped. Find the best case against the emerging view, and take it seriously.

03 / CALL

Make the verdict

Act now, prepare, watch or ignore, with the reason and the evidence that would change the call.

04 / SHARE

Video + report

A tight episode on YouTube, and a sourced long read so you can check the working yourself.

"My job is to tell you what the evidence actually says, then tell you what I'd do about it."

I'm Chris Currie. I work in business consultancy, specialising in innovation and emerging technology, inside a corporate AI & Innovation Lab. My day job is helping organisations work out which technology shifts are real, which are noise, and what to do on Monday morning.

/SHIFT is that conversation, made public. I do the deep reading, give you the receipts, and say what I make of it. When the evidence doesn't support a strong view, I'll say that too.
