Colin Earp

In the show, J. Richard Jones talks with Colin Earp, Partner and National Transport Leader at KPMG. Mobility is going to be a large part of the future but just what that future would be like? Today, we can see what the next generation of transport would be like - spending more time in traffic congestion. From a transport perspective, how do we use the technology and thinking to avoid this problem and drive better cities and remote access in the future? To lead in the transport transformation, we need to understand the key indicators of readiness, timeliness for adoption, and how to manage the opportunities and risks associated with this customer-led transit transformation. In the next 10 years, the transport industry is estimated to become a $22 trillion per annum market. Colin talks about autonomous and connected vehicles and how these will continue to expand in the next few years. He also points out that the adoption of new technologies will result in fewer cars on the road and less space for parking and garages. To learn more about the future of transport and mobility, register to attend the 2019 Mobility Hackathon: Developing practical answers to ‘future mobility’ questions.

In his article, Gaming the System, How the misuse of data impedes innovation, Ken Miller, founder of the Change &amp; Innovation Agency, a firm dedicated to increasing government’s capacity to do more good, writes: “Public sector has invested great hope and massive fortunes in the promises of performance management.

But after all this time and investment, what have we really achieved? Has all of this measurement produced great insights and innovations? Has performance management increased engagement and overhauled performance?” These are all great questions that give us lots to think on. In this episode of CGE Radio, J.
