Publisher's summary

Business as usual is over. The age of hyper-change is upon us, and technology is at the forefront. Since the dawn of the microchip, exponential growth has defined modern technology. Today, entire industries are being upended by software, sensors, cameras, LiDAR, processors, and optics — all growing smaller by the day.

Tech is pushing into every corner of our world, and businesses that ignore the disruption do so at their own peril. The end of the mobile phone is near, and the age of hyperconnectivity is here, with AR glasses, the intelligent edge, and IoT. Led by globally recognized futurist Cathy Hackl and award-winning emerging-tech leader John Buzzell, this book will arm you with frameworks and examples to tackle the rapid disruption happening in every industry.

This book is for business leaders who want to learn more about 5G, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and other emerging tech. We’ll explain how you can wield this new tech for scale and revenue growth. We’ve seen the effects of this technology on the workforce firsthand, both success and failure. Along the way, you’ll hear real-life examples from business leaders and the authors — industry experts in technology years in the making. By the end, you’ll be seeing the world through AR glasses and AI applications, and at the speed of 5G.

Get ahead of the competition and shape the future you’ll be ready to lead with The Augmented Workforce.

Very insightful on the future use of technology

As scary as many of these technological advances may seem, this book did a great job on explaining our past and current progress towards that future use in a very simplistic way.

Definitely great for getting into the topic. Appreciate the real examples.

I liked on the book, the structure in a way how it was explained how the technology can help in the day-to-day business. Gradebook for getting into the topic, The only thing that I would comment where I would see some space for improvement is that sometimes it felt repeating one thing way too many times, I guess it is for the point to explain the reason, so overall, it is not such a job stopper, but especially while listening, sometimes I had to trouble to stay focused on the topic.
