George Curley Interview with Ayrton Group at NISO 2025

Interview undertaken by Ayrton Group interviewer Norbert Narbut with FlexManager CEO George Curley.

At NISO 2025, FlexManager CEO George Curley was asked by Ayrton Group for his insights on the latest tech innovations that are impacting the world of Health and Safety. George spoke with Norbert Narbut on a range of topics. Here is an overview of some of the insights shared:

What is one Innovation in safety tech that excites you the most?

On this topic, George speaks on the Internet of Things (IoT) world and the potential avenues that this offers when it is paired with the “Hands-on world”:

How can air quality monitors on a construction site lead to decision making for the health of workers on site? That is a world that is really untapped in this space… how can we find out today what is happening so we can be proactive.

Tell us a bit about FlexManager

Find out how George envisions FlexManager at it's core
We believe in a one solution, one platform world. If someone has an incident today, you need all of the information from the time they started to tell the story of why this happened. If that is locked away in separate systems, you will get data but not intelligence.

With FlexManager, you can rationalise the data in front of you. That is the focus.

Thumbs up, or Thumbs down for AI?

A huge topic in not just the compliance industry, but EVERY industry. George shares his two-cents:

AI has its place. We talk of AI filling out incident reports, and I have no interest in AI doing that for me. That is replacing years of knowledge with something trained by a third party, and we don’t know where it is getting it’s logic from. 

Having said that, AI doing trend analysis on thousands of reports to see what could potentially happen based on years of data, that is something I can see AI having an impact. Guiding human decisions.

Thumbs up in the grand scheme, but with the caveat of making it useful to us rather than having it as a distraction. 

A special thanks to Norbert for conducting the interview, and sharing his passion for Health and Safety topics. The full interview is available on the Ayrton’s Groups LinkedIn post.
