The Human Edge - Greg Orme

The Human Edge

Robots and AI are here to stay, but so are humans.

Occasionally a technological shift will change the way we perceive both organisations and people. Sometimes it will challenge the very essence of what it means to be human.

Daily news headlines pose questions that used to belong in the pages of science fiction: Will a machine take my job? If we can’t compete with artificial Intelligence, what’s left?

Drawing upon the latest psychological and neuroscience research, the unique philosophies of successful entrepreneurs and the practises of the world’s most innovative companies, innovation guru Greg Orme explores the skills you need to survive and thrive in the world of tomorrow. 

The Human Edge helps you harness your human capabilities of consciousness, curiosity, creativity and collaboration to futureproof yourself for the changing world of work.

Discover your superpowers to do the things machines can’t.
