Does hyperintelligence require a radically new approach to business?

"AI will both create and destroy value… There will be creative destruction… Policies should protect people, not jobs… Companies and the government's focus should be on skills" – Professor John Van Reenen, economist at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) These words from the sphere of academia closely resonate with the business advisory work that Capgemini's Christopher Stancombe (Head of Industrialization and Automation, Capgemini) and Xavier Hochet (Head of Europe, Capgemini's Business Services) have been heading up recently. Their shared viewpoint is that the current wave of technological innovation will have a much greater impact than any such wave before it. As such, it is ushering in a new age of hyperintelligence, where people will work collaboratively with machines to achieve previously unobtainable outcomes. This is bringing about a fundamental rethinking of how businesses operate and organize themselves. The series will provide insights, challenges, and new perspectives to decision-makers across all areas of business today – from IT practitioners and HR managers, to CIOs and chief executives.
