4 Ways the Rise of the Machines can Work for Humans

It’s time to move beyond alarmist rhetoric about workplace automation and consider how human-machine collaboration can deliver a higher level of productivity. The question to ask isn’t how many jobs will be replaced by artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, but how work can be reconfigured in order to achieve the optimal integration of talent and machines.

  1. Start with the work not the job.
  2. Understand the automation opportunities.
  3. Identify the optimal combinations of work options.
  4. Reset leadership expectations.
