“We explore how the widespread access to digital knowledge in all its forms has fundamentally shifted our organisations and our lives. We reveal what we mean by the digital spine and why it is fundamental for our digital reality. Our worlds have become complex labyrinths of knowledge and how knowledge informs decision making. We also discuss why quality decision making for large groups is difficult, especially when working in virtual teams, and how the spine helps us get things done.” Excerpt from ‘Digital Humans: Thriving in an Online World,’ authors Paul Ashcroft & Garrick Jones (2022). 

In this episode of Digital Humans, hosts Georg Seiler and Jessie Tung explore the transformative power of digital innovation with Ben Glatz, Partner, Life Sciences at Kearney and a leader in strategy and transformation.
