Nurturing talent, Inspiring creativity, Mentoring potential and Promoting new ideas.

Often leaders embrace the notion that technology can replace the human element. This year, the Humanification event will address how business leaders can evolve their organizations in today’s digital age without comprising their core values and people.

Business is and always has been about people –employees, collaborators, customers, shareholders –but much of the story of modern management has been about ensuring order, structure, efficiency and regularity,” says Alberto Saiz, CEO of WOBI“Too often the focus of leaders is on structural organization –not on empowering those who actually make up these organizations; on the product –not on the consumer for whom the product is supposedly made; and on the technology –not on the problem that technology is supposed to solve.”
