What if the org chart on your boardroom wall was designed for a factory floor in 1875 — and you've been running a knowledge business on it ever since? Peter Hinssen sits down with Clay Parker Jones — Head of Organisational Design & Development at Airbnb and author of Hidden Patterns: A Playbook for More Human Workplaces — for a conversation that cuts through the noise on why most companies are structurally broken and what it actually takes to build an organisation that can execute its strategy. They cover: 🔹 Why if you can't see your strategy in your org design, your design is decorative 🔹 The ghost of the Industrial Revolution haunting every corporate hierarchy — and why knowledge companies inherited a blueprint built for unskilled factory workers 🔹 Why "role clarity" is a symptom of relational poverty, not a solution to it 🔹 Why the future organisation will feel smaller — and why that's exactly the point If you lead a team, design organisations, or wonder why so much corporate complexity feels so broken — you'll learn stuff here
Hosted by Pascal Coppens with special guest Dado Van Peteghem, this special edition of Radar goes all-in on the robot revolution. From Nvidia calling this "the ChatGPT moment of robots" to Unitree humanoids running a Beijing half marathon faster than any human, Pascal and Dado map how fast China is pulling ahead. They dig into JD.com paying 500,000 people €3 an hour to harvest household data, China's 90% grip on the magnets every robot needs, Unitree's price crashing from €85,000 to €23,000, and the world models from Fei-Fei Li and Yann LeCun set to train the next generation. Plus Galbot's underground robotic pharmacies, DeepSeek's fresh $7 billion, and Europe's uncomfortable question of whether it can catch this wave after sleeping through EVs. A timeline that puts robots in factories by 2027 and homes by 2030, and an invitation to stop reading about the future and come see it live in China this November.
Hosted by Steven Van Belleghem, Peter Hinssen and Pascal Coppens, this episode takes you deep into Pascal's latest China inspiration tour — from Kimi's AI model beating Claude at a fraction of the cost and Xiaomi's radical 10x philosophy, to BrainCo's mind-controlled prosthetics and T-Cap Tech's flying taxis launching commercially next month. Peter unpacks Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince's Wall Street Journal bombshell on replacing 1,100 "measurers" with AI, and the explosive new buzzword in Silicon Valley: RSI, recursive self-improvement, sparked by Anthropic's own blog post. Steven shares how companionship has become the #1 use case for AI according to HBR's 2026 study, Google's Universal Cart play that puts a bouncer between brands and consumers, and why China's telcos are billing customers by the token. The episode closes with a nexxworks robots tour announcement for November, China's AI-generated micro drama explosion, and Europe's uncomfortable truth: it's not a regulation problem, it's a capital problem.
