The Human Side of Technology

The world is digitalising fast: IoT, automation, (emotion) AI, VR/AR, digital assistants and so on… But how will people and society respond? Research shows many new innovations will be ready before human beings are ready for them.

How can we embrace new technologies? As people and as organisations? How can organisations strike the perfect (digital) balance between the human & the machine?

Future Ethics in a Digital Age

The topic of ethics is rapidly transforming from an abstract, intellectual inquiry to an urgent, practical challenge for any future-orientated organisation. From AI ethics teams to a personal ethics toolkit and from activist CEOs to measuring ESG (environmental, social & governance) performance: future ethics are relevant for all professionals and organisations.

Why should discussing ethics be part of any business conversation? How to be an ethical leader in the 2020s? How should society programme human ethics in AI?

The Trust Transition 

In a low-trust, post-truth world with an abundance of choice, unlimited information and the rise of fake news, trust is slowly, but steadily, moving away from the ‘formal and institutionalised’ towards the ‘personal and informal’.

What does this impact in personal & digital decision-making? How can we enhance trust? On an organisational and leadership level?
