ABSTRACT

In this chapter, we describe four shifts needed to detach from the traditional plug and play model of technology adoption in order to lay the foundation for the Humachine. The Humachine is driven by technology but nonetheless human centric. Following the Four I’s of Intentionality, Integration, Implementation, and Indication, we can create an organization that is greater than the sum of its parts. From profits to purpose, siloes to integration, and rigid performance quotas to aspirational metrics, a paradigm shift about the role of technology in the workforce lays the foundation for the Humachine.
