Description

The world is moving faster than ever and keeping up has never been harder. Two hundred and fifty years ago, the Industrial Revolution replaced human muscle. Today, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is beginning to replace human thinking. This technological shift is reshaping organisations, redefining work, and challenging what it truly means to be human. Questions that once belonged in science fiction are now part of everyday conversation: O Will a machine take my job? O Are we becoming cyborgs? O What happens when supercomputers become self-aware? O If we can't compete with artificial intelligence, what's left? Innovation expert Greg Orme offers a refreshing and reassuring answer. With warmth, humour and clarity, he guides you towards the skills you need not just to survive, but to thrive in an AI-driven world. Rather than competing with machines, Orme shows you how to do what they can't and how to become a more human human. This text is a practical toolkit built around three essential human 'superpowers': O Curiosity ignite your natural drive to learn in a world of constant change O Creativity unlock a flow of bold, game-changing ideas O Connectivity build the empathy, influence and collaboration needed to turn ideas into impact Developed through Orme's work with leaders and organisations across the globe, these capabilities are grounded in the latest psychological and neuroscience research. They are also inspired by the mindset of successful entrepreneurs, the practices of the world's most innovative companies, and the habits of leading artists, designers and scientists.
