A call to imagination in the disruptive, boundaryless age

As organizations today navigate rapid advancements in AI and technology, a critical gap is emerging. While technical skills are essential, the uniquely human capabilities of curiosity, empathy, and creativity are becoming increasingly vital. Yet, research reveals that less than 10% of today’s workforce possesses the imagination needed to fully leverage these technological innovations .

In this episode, join host David Mallon, Carissa Kilgour, Matteo Zanza, and Nicole Scoble-Williams on the imagination deficit and its critical importance—along with examples of organizations fostering human capabilities and AI.

Focusing on the human agenda, that relentless pursuit of human-centric innovation, powered by the uniquely human capabilities—that must be our guiding star, our compass. The possibilities are tantalizingly close, but they remain elusive unless we act boldly to tackle the realities of the imagination deficit and act now.
