Wednesday, 17 December, 2025
Joining us on board the good ship SS tomorrow this week is Barbara Whitmann, who discusses the importance of digital wisdom in bridging the gap between technology and the human element in organisations. She shares her journey from IT consulting to empowering individuals within companies to find their voice and drive change. The discussion also explores the concept of the wisdom economy, the need for better human-machine relationships, and an optimistic outlook on the future of work and technology. Keywords digital wisdom, technology, human element, organisational change, wisdom economy, AI, human-machine relationship, future of work, empowerment, collective intelligence Takeaways Digital wisdom is about a holistic view of technology and people. Empowering individuals in organizations is crucial for sustainable change. The wisdom economy emphasizes collaboration beyond silos. Human relationships must improve before enhancing human-machine interactions. Change often starts with one motivated individual in an organization. Listening to employees and clients is essential for successful transformation. Creating safe spaces for dialogue fosters innovation and confidence. The future of work will require adaptability and open-mindedness. Technology should serve humanity and the planet. Decisions should consider the legacy for future generations.
