Human Advantage: The Podcasts.
When intelligent technology is available to everyone, what creates sustainable advantage?
AI is changing the way we work, but access to technology is only part of the story. The real opportunity lies in how organizations equip their people to turn that technology into better performance.
As part of Human Advantage Week, Forty1’s Richard Burton sits down with leaders from NTT DATA, AstraZeneca, and Capgemini for three conversations exploring what happens when technology meets human capability.
From curiosity and critical thinking to communication, leadership, and change, they share their perspectives on what makes us uniquely human, why those qualities matter more than ever, and how organizations can make the most of them.
