A Blueprint for Happy, Human Business in the Digital Age

Summary

The tech revolution will hit us all soon. How can any organisation survive and thrive?

Headlines predict that whole industries will be decimated by Artificial Intelligence and automation. Some bosses and bankers are rubbing their hands at the prospect of cost savings and staff cuts.

But there is another way. New technology can also empower teams, fuel creativity and make people happier.

In this bold blueprint, CEO Jason Stockwood – named by the Sunday Times as the UK’s best leader – shows how any organisation can think freshly and benefit from technology by putting its people first.
