Abstract:
With so much emphasis in business on artificial intelligence, automation of various kinds, and digital transformation, the future of human work — and even humanity itself — can feel uncertain. And while we often talk about user experience, customer experience, patient experience, and so on, we rarely consider what a truly integrated human experience might look and feel like. But “Tech Humanist” Kate O’Neill presents the case for why the future of humanity is in creating more meaningful, dimensional, and integrated experiences, and how emerging technologies like chatbots, wearables, IoT devices, and more can be included in this kind of human-centric design. While weaving in examples from a range of industries, applications, and even pop culture, Kate offers an inspiring and useful framework for designers, strategists, or anyone creating experiences for humans.
Kate O’Neill is an executive consultant, keynote speaker, author, and “tech humanist.” She advises corporate and cultural leaders — whether one-on-one, in board rooms, or in convention centers — on how to articulate and execute a strategy that aligns organizational purpose with the momentum of emerging technology and societal trends to help today’s leaders do what they must do: navigate near-constant change, manage evolving expectations, innovate relentlessly, build actionable understanding of their market at internet pace and scale, automate where it makes sense to do so, and achieve sustainable growth and results — all while creating a more meaningful and memorable experience for the human on the other side of the transaction.
