Technology advances are making tech more . . . human. This changes everything you thought you knew about innovation and strategy.In their groundbreaking book, Human + Machine, Accenture technology leaders Paul R. Daugherty and H. James Wilson showed how leading organizations use the power of human-machine collaboration to transform their processes and their bottom lines. Now, as AI continues to rapidly impact both life and work, those companies and other pioneers across industries are tipping the balance even more strikingly toward the human side with technology-led strategy that is reshaping the very nature of innovation.In Radically Human, Daugherty and Wilson show this profound shift, fast-forwarded by the pandemic, toward more humanand more humanetechnology. Artificial intelligence is becoming less artificial and more intelligent. Instead of data-hungry approaches to AI, innovators are pursuing data-efficient approaches that enable machines to learn as humans do. Instead of replacing workers with machines, they're unleashing human expertise to create human-centered AI. In place of lumbering legacy IT systems, they're building cloud-first IT architectures able to continuously adapt to a world of billions of connected devices. And they're pursuing strategies that will take their place alongside classic, winning business formulas like disruptive innovation.These against-the-grain approaches to the basic building blocks of businessIntelligence, Data, Experience, Architecture, and Strategy (IDEAS)are transforming competition. Industrial giants and startups alike are drawing on this radically human IDEAS framework to create new business models, optimize post-pandemic approaches to work and talent, rebuild trust with their stakeholders, and show the way toward a sustainable future.With compelling insights and fresh examples from a variety of industries, Radically Human will forever change the way you think about, practice, and win with innovation.
I pledge allegiance to the mark and to the republic for which it stands. One nation indivisible with protection and security for all. I pledge to serve the one voice, the voice of truth, the voice of reason, the voice of unity. I vow to always prepare the way justly and above all else hold these truths as self-evident. I pledge to serve no other but the director and his programs for the sake of freedom, liberty, and justice for all.
Jillian Daugherty was born with Down syndrome. The day her parents, Paul and Kerry, brought her home from the hospital, they were flooded with worry and uncertainty, but also with overwhelming love, which they channeled to "the job of building the better Jillian." They knew their daughter had special needs, but they refused to have her grow up needy. They were resolved that Jillian's potential would not be limited by preconceptions of who she was or what she could be.In this charming and often heart-stirring book, Paul tells stories about Jillian making her way through the world of her backyard and neighborhood, going to school in a "normal" classroom, learning to play soccer and ride a bike. As she grows older, he traces her journey through high school graduation, four years of college, and ultimately marriage to her boyfriend of 10 years. Through her unmitigated love for others, her sparkling charisma, and her boundless capacity for joy, Jillian has inspired those around her to live better and more fully. As Paul writes, "Jillian is a soul map of our best intentions."
Along Came a Watchman is a raw, sexually provocative, psychological thriller about a man who reads a letter he should never have opened. Numerous plot twists will lead you down one blind alley after another, and just when you think you've turned a corner, you'll arrive at another costly dead end. Romance, betrayal, murder, and the secret agenda of a corruptible mayor and small-town sheriff will keep you guessing throughout. But as you turn the pages, it will ultimately be you who must decide who's telling the truth and who shouldn't be trusted. That was something Phillip Watchman should have considered before he opened Pandora's Box. Sometimes the things we need outweigh the things we want. Sometimes it's better to listen to what your gut is telling you rather than just give in to your desires. To see additional work published by Paul Daugherty, please click here.
Do you count yourself amongst the living or do you walk amongst the lost? Lost or dead, it doesn't really matter because the only difference is, you're still breathing air. But what if you didn't know who you were or where you came from? What if you had no friends, no money, nothing to eat and all points led nowhere? What would you do? Where would you go? Who would you turn to?What if something was coming for you that wanted to take you back to that place you can't remember but swore you'd never go back to? Without memories we're just bags of bones, wrapped in flesh and sealed with a million and one flaws. But each of us are uniquely different, one from another, and it's those memories that define who we are, not just what we see in the mirror. What if that something that was coming railed against everything you believe to be true. How would you deal with that? More importantly, what if there was a cure, a fix, a get out of jail free card? Would you take a leap of faith if it was just a phone call away? I did, knowing full well that once I dialed that number there was no turning back. The only way out now was through the belly of a beast no one should ever contemplate. Never say never and never fall prey to complacence. It's what you don't see that will kill you. But how do you kill something that's already dead? You kill them the same way as the ones still breathing air. Again, would you make that call? I guess that all boils down to how important your life is to you. To see additional work published by Paul Daugherty, please click here.
