Description: Convergence: Technology, Business, and the Human-Centric Future by Deborah Westphal, Beth Comstock Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description How did some countries like South Korea catapult into the future? They hired Toffler Associates, and in this book, their CEO shares how companies and individuals can be more forward-thinking and more humanitarian Publisher Description What does it mean to be human-centric?The Convergence is here. Each day the human race becomes more connected and interdependent. There is no longer a choice in the matter. There is no turning back. All aspects of human life are rapidly converging at an intersection of people, business, and environment. With potential for either a historic integration or catastrophic collision, leaders have two clear choices: remain committed to profits above all else; or shift to a human-centric approach that embraces this convergence. Author Deborah Westphal, a leader in future-focused strategy, leverages her experiences working with some of the worlds most innovative business leaders, to show how the interests of people (as human beings, not customers), overlap with those of companies in ways never before seen. Convergence charts the path forward for those leadersparticularly in businesswho seek to shift to a human-centric mental model. This approach addresses realities from our converging world not necessarily related to a companys business operations, often integrating a tangible response with a change in the companys core values. Simply put, to be human-centric prioritizes the success of people and redefines success for a company. "Westphals Convergence is a call to action to create the future of humanity rather than stand by. Her words of wisdom and lessons shared cannot be more timely than in this very moment when humanity is in crisis. In the midst of COVID-19, environmental disaster, and ever accelerating technological change, Convergence makes the case for authentic leadership and challenges us to rethink our primary purposes of doing business: to serve humanity." - Diana Rau, Chief Experience Officer & Cofounder, twine.nyc | Forbes 30 Under 30 Author Biography Deborah Westphals career spans more than 30 years, government agencies and Fortune 100 companies, and virtually every continent.
