Preparing for the Convergence

It's hard to imagine that we can be effective at leading others if we\u2019re not forward-thinking. But the future is so unsure--clouded at times by apocalyptic visions of machines taking over and life ruled by algorithms. So how do we prepare ourselves and our teams for the future despite the challenges of understanding it?

To help us on this journey, we're joined today by Deborah Westphal, author of a new book entitled Convergence: Technology, Business, and the Human-Centric Future. In this episode, Deborah will talk about what it means for us to be human-centric as we look to the future. She\u2019ll challenge how we use the term stakeholder when we\u2019re leading our teams and projects. She\u2019ll expose some of the obsolete ideas and models that we too easily hold onto. And she\u2019ll give us some perspectives to think differently about what it means to be a human-centric, future-focused leader.
