Shivvy Jervis

Founder and Chief Futurist at FutureScape 248 Ltd

London, United Kingdom

The next Internet, emotionally perceptive software, augmented commerce, and heartbeat ID – how might ground-breaking advances such as these shape how we work, earn, and learn? What are some of the biggest myths around digital transformation, and how can an ‘inventor mindset’ take us from Industry 4.0 to a more human-centered Humanity 5.0?

Recently ranked in the global top 10 for trailblazing entrepreneurs of Asian origin, Futurist and Broadcaster Shivvy Jervis takes hundreds of thousands each month on a discovery of the most remarkable innovations that will influence both our ’now’ and our ’next’. Watch her in action below.

A four-time award winning trends forecaster and founder of ambitious forecasting lab FutureScape 248, Shivvy Jervis is cited by the World Economic Forum as “a thought leader beyond compare” and TED Talks as “having the remarkable capacity to uncover the truly relevant notions from all the noise”.

Jervis’ energised speeches on ‘human-perception’ AI, immersive workplaces, digital identity and the future Internet of Things have earned an astonishing 24 pieces of industry recognition. This includes a hattrick – Britain’s Role Model of the year 2020, Influencer of the Year 2019 and Woman of the Year 2019 by public vote.

Shivvy has led a highly-lauded fireside chat with Britain’s former PM David Cameron and headlined the same event – watch here. In the first half of 2020 alone, Shivvy is envisioning the Future of global cities in 2040 for the office of the Mayor of London, keynoting for the United Nations and filming a new documentary on the most radical breakthroughs that will define this decade.

With over 12 years of broadcasting experience, 14 million+ viewers watched Shivvy demystify future innovation in award-winning web series’ Digital Futures and The Trailblazers (both of which she created). More recently Shivvy investigated the future of cities and aviation for two-part series Discovery Channel documentary Piloting the Digital Future. A former contributor to CNN Asia and Reuters, Shivvy has also fronted mini-investigative feature Six Jobs of the Future, chaired live debate series Ringside Sessions and hosts the NextTech Insider interview series.

Shivvy Jervis is equally at home headlining an event, chairing a high-level summit or presenting a broadcast. Her audiences term her ‘riveting’, a ‘true expert’ and above all, ‘uncompromisingly passionate’.

Bitesize Graphic: Jobs we envision demand surging for into 2025
LinkedIn
January 17, 2021
Many current, in-demand job specialties and skill sets didn’t exist a decade ago. This pace of change is set to accelerate. An oft-quoted finding from the World Economic Forum (WEF) reveals that as many as 65% of children currently in their first year of primary education will end up working in a job role or type that doesn’t yet exist.

Why #AI will save, not destroy us
LinkedIn
January 03, 2017
Despite it feeling to many like a 'future tech' concept, Artificial Intelligence has actually been around prominently since the mid 90’s – in fact, John McCarthy coined the term back in 1955, defining it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines".

On this edition of Digital Futures, we wanted to explore where this tech is being used now, if it’s evolved successfully from its initial goal of making intelligent machines and what you and I as consumers need to know about.

#techforgood: A 'USB connector' for the disabled
LinkedIn
October 12, 2016
Meet Oliver Armitage, who as a 17-year- old, spent a great deal of time conjuring up ways to integrate bionics with disability.

Intelligent TV programming on the subject and seminal events such as the Paralympics bring physical disability to the forefront, but how many of you were aware that the number of amputees worldwide stands at over 10 million or that each year, more than one million people lose a limb in this tragic way globally?

#techforgood: The app that could be your medical lifeline

Why future tech is about way more than 'disruption'
LinkedIn
March 04, 2016
A mood-impacting empathic wearable, potentially life saving cyclist gear, tremor-stabilising glove and a “timelooper.” Have I piqued your curiosity yet?

Digital technology advances don’t have to be about paradigm shifts, global domination and annihilating the competition.

In fact, the majority of technology trailblazers I find truly worth keeping an eye on are dedicating their inventions to a meaningful purpose. The categories below show it’s possible for startups to be driven by compassion and a sense of vocation, rather than the single-minded focus on completing a successful exit and buying that villa in Italy.

Silicon Valley vs London? Hacker House's Jen Arcuri debates
LinkedIn
March 04, 2016
“I won’t give you the sort of answers that most people will.”

I’m assured this fervently by the charismatic Jennifer Arcuri at the outset of our interview. The refreshingly frank founder of thought leadership network InnoTech and cyber security outfit Hacker House is quite the firebrand – and not one to mince words. It’s precisely why I wanted to feature Arcuri in the second of our digital economy themed mini-specials within the wider, long-running Digital Futures series. You can find episode one, with UK’s digital minister Ed Vaizey, here.

More Women Need to Give Others a Leg Up, reveal tech industry insiders
LinkedIn
June 16, 2015
We're the lead adopters of new gadgetry, are fast becoming the top decision makers in software adoption and make up 52% of gamers.

But the broader brush figures are still grim - less than a quarter of women take on STEM professions (science, technology, engineering and maths). And it would take a million new female hires in this space to hit critical mass in the UK alone!

Meet The Dynamo Behind the World's Largest Offline Search Engine
LinkedIn
May 11, 2015
Turns out us Gen Y-ers (16-34 year olds, a.k.a Millennials) will account for a whopping 75% of the workforce in less than a decade. And that's just in the U.S.

Report after report finds that this is the most diverse and educated generation to date. We're also deeply spirited, proactive and enterprising. This despite - even owing to - having inherited an uncertain economy rife with unemployment and inequality.

Don't Spend a Fortune on App Discovery... Try this Instead.
LinkedIn
February 04, 2015
A year ago, I started tracking the progress of a business incubated by Wayra’s accelerator programme. Today, they're well on their way to eliminating the advertising middleman (of the apps world!).

In fact, Tappx are now the world’s largest open cross-promotional app community. I'm so impressed by the 'open' ethos behind this - and the credible traction it's built up - that I felt I had to highlight the idea and their trajectory.

Do incubated startups out-survive those who go it alone?
LinkedIn
December 23, 2014
It turns out the average survival rate for startups backed by an accelerator is 92%. And this is nearly 20% more than those who choose to do it independently, reveals this new study.

I'm a firm believer in context, so three caveats up front: 1) Of those programmes able to quantify the number of startups still operating, the survival rate reaches almost 92%, compared to a two-year survival rate of 75.6% for all small businesses. 2) While the ever-evolving nature of the UK entrepreneurs scene means no study can claim to be definitive, I see this report as simply a snapshot of the ecosystem in 2014. 3) There is some distinction between an accelerator and incubator as eloquently laid out in the report, but as both are startup programmes, for the purpose of this blog I've used them interchangeably.

70%+ of Gen Y-ers Want to Impact their Local Worlds
LinkedIn
November 16, 2014
A fresh update to the largest-ever survey of more than 6,700 Millennials across Latin America, the United States and Western Europe has found that today's Gen Y demographic are strikingly optimistic about their prospects for the future.

I find this very heartening, given most of my younger peers have had to kickstart their careers during a post-downturn phase that has made the hiring market more ruthless and unpredictable than ever.

What to expect from your Connected Car
LinkedIn
August 12, 2014
For years we've trusted car mechanics to keep one of our biggest financial investments in working order. But do we really know the ins and outs of our car? How often are we getting ripped off for repairs? And critically, how many of you know about the fantastic connected car services already available? (e.g. syncing your car to emergency services so they receive vital info instantly in the case of an accident)
