Boston Consulting Group's new advisor is a digital human

Global management firm Boston Consulting Group has just employed a'digital human' as an advisor to its internal teams. 'Miku' the digital employee under training, however, had her first public interaction on stage. This was at the recent IBM THINK in Sydney, where BCG managing director Miguel Carrasco showed how Miku is working with BCG's PTO (Predictability, Teaming and Openness) facilitators. "I help the PTO coaches to support teams by giving advice on work-life balance issues and sharing our top tips on project management," explains Miku. She then asks Carrasco, "Speaking of which, have you had a busy week? I can set up a few reminders on your calendar to prioritise some downtime."
