Welcome to Investing for Tomorrow, the Thinking Ahead Institute's (TAI) podcast channel.
The world is transforming at breakneck speed and we're here to talk about what this means for investments.
TAI is a global not-for-profit group whose members comprise asset owners, asset managers and other groups motivated to influence the investment industry for the good of savers worldwide.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly moving from a productivity tool to a strategic capability for investors. But its true potential may lie in helping investment teams make better decisions, challenge assumptions and consider a broader range of possibilities.
In this episode of Investing for Tomorrow, Luba Nikulina, Chief Strategy Officer at IFM Investors, joins Roger Urwin, Co-founder of Thinking Ahead, to explore how AI is reshaping investment decision-making, enhancing collective intelligence and opening up new opportunities for the industry.
The conversation also examines the importance of governance, accountability and guardrails, highlighting the risks that must be managed as AI becomes more deeply embedded in investment organisations.
From decision quality and organisational redesign to fiduciary responsibility and trust, this discussion offers a balanced perspective on how investors can harness AI's potential while remaining clear-eyed about the challenges ahead.

5. The human edge
What gives someone an edge in a world where expertise is increasingly accessible?
In this episode of Investing for Tomorrow, Louisa Minter-Kemp sits down with Dawid Konotey-Ahulu CBE DL (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawid1/) to explore trust, purpose and the future-fit professional. Building on our own work at Thinking Ahead on the Professional 2.0, the conversation examines what makes people stand out when technology can replicate more of what we do.
From authentic leadership and communication to AI, relationships and human judgement, Dawid reflects on the qualities that remain distinctly human and why trust may become one of the most valuable assets of all.
Dawid he started his career in the world of law, training as a barrister before going on to spend 16 years as an investment banker; before leaving that all behind and setting up two firms of his own called Reddington and Mallowstreet for another 20 years. He co-founded the 10,000 Interns Foundation and most recently founded Spellbound, a public speaking programme run in schools, universities and prisons.

4. The Rise of Climate Physical Risk
This episode explores climate physical risk — the floods, heat and extreme weather events already affecting assets, operations and portfolios today. Moving beyond long-term transition narratives, we look at how these risks are showing up in real investment decisions right now, and what it takes to understand and act on them.
Through a systems-level investing lens, the conversation unpacks how investors can move from broad climate scenarios to asset-level insight —and ultimately, from analysis to action.
