By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The pandemic proved the validity of many of the trends we were seeing. It also proved that companies were capable of collaborating on a massive scale to produce vaccines, which validated the ideas in our previous book.

#2 The pandemic accelerated the pace of technology adoption. Companies that were laggards in terms of technology adoption before the pandemic were already falling behind at an alarming rate, but now they have been forced to adopt these technologies.

#3 The 2010s were a time of gathering pessimism about the technological road we had been traveling for the past decade. As the decade wore on, innovation lost its innocence. Autonomous vehicles sometimes turned deadly, and Malign actors appeared to hijack social media to influence US politics and subvert democracy across Europe.

#4 The way in which humans interact with intelligent technologies is entering a third stage. In the first stage, AI was used to automate repetitive tasks. Humans were subservient to machines, and many were replaced by them. In the second stage, AI was used to augment human capabilities.

The 2010s were a time of gathering pessimism about the technological road we had been traveling for the past decade. As the decade wore on, innovation lost its innocence. Autonomous vehicles sometimes turned deadly, and Malign actors appeared to hijack social media to influence US politics and subvert democracy across Europe.

#4

The way in which humans interact with intelligent technologies is entering a third stage. In the first stage, AI was used to automate repetitive tasks. Humans were subservient to machines, and many were replaced by them. In the second stage, AI was used to augment human capabilities.

#5

The human turn in intelligent systems is upending many of the assumptions about the role of people and their expertise in the emerging technological ecosystem. Rather than training systems with bottom-up machine intelligence, people are guiding them with top-down human knowledge.

#6

The conventional IT stack simply can’t handle today’s hyper-digital world of mobile computing, AI applications, the internet of things, and billions of devices. In place of the rigid conventional stack, innovative companies are creating living systems that are adaptable and radically human.

#7

The IDEAS framework provides a common point of reference for business and technological initiatives, the radically human dimension that will increasingly drive competition.

#8

Companies are beginning to see the benefits of radically human technology and innovation. The four sources of competitive differentiation - talent, trust, experiences, and sustainability - will be major components of every company’s value proposition, brand promise, and financial performance.

#9

We must understand that modern technology is one of the
