Overview
Everybody has a plan until they don't. We're approaching a global turning point, a hybrid disruption in which data is taking centre stage. Humanising this new world and ensuring tech is serving people instead of the other way around becomes pivotal in defining the next normal. This transformation we’re amidst will be more meaningful and universal than anything else in our lifetimes.
As data starts to take centre stage and organisations start to bring their businesses into the next phase of the digital age, putting the human being at the centre of our thinking when it comes to designing new technologies is crucial to ensuring that these technological innovations serve people and not the other way around.
Tune in to this session as we invite key industry experts and thought leaders to discuss how we can achieve humane technological transformation in a rapidly changing world.
