Dr. Nada Sanders is a Distinguished Professor of Supply Chain Management at Northeastern University and co-author of The Humachine: Humankind, Machines, and the Future of Enterprise. Dr. Sanders talks with Brian Ardinger, Inside Outside Innovation founder, about Humachines and the implications for the future of business.\n\n\nKey Points:\n\n\n - Humachine - Emerging forms of enterprise. Combines human qualities (creativity, judgment, and intuition) with machines (economies of scale, AI, artificial processing, etc.). What are the capabilities?\n - The key difference is the human resource element in the tech era. Some will wait and see what tech is doing. Others are using tech as plug and play. Neither will work. Move towards superhuman enterprise management. The interplay between tech, people, and processes.\n - Tactics: How can you determine where AI can help? Don\u2019t need all tech. Understand your strategy. Who are you and what are you trying to do.\n - Data: People don\u2019t know what to ask of it. What questions do you need to answer?\n - AI is about how do you use it, not the tech.\n - Smaller companies leverage human resources and leverage the questions asked. Walmart was an industry leader.\n - Capabilities in silos. Systems need to be linked together.\n - How can organizational leaders see the human side? Period of lifelong learning. We will see repetitive jobs go away. Important areas need human communication. Cultivate in the workforce.\n - Systems Thinking: Coders don\u2019t always thrive in systems or with communication.\n\n\nFor More Information\n\n\nFor more information about Dr. Nada Sanders connect with her on LinkedIn or go to the https://thehumachinebook.com.\xa0Check out Dr Sander's book on Amazon.\xa0\xa0\n\n\nFor similar podcasts, check out:\xa0\n\n\n - Ep. 145 \u2013 Laura Anne Edwards, DATA OASIS founder, NASA Datanaut, TED Resident & SheCanHackIT on Sustainable Innovation and Big Data\n - Ep. 135 \u2013 Nara Logics CEO and E.N.
