We are living in the largest institutional and human shift in history. It is a complete resetting of the operating system of our planet. And with every reset comes an opportunity for organizations to rewrite their worlds in times of unparalleled disruption. As a practitioner behind the scenes and in front of future trends, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and innovation expert Leonard Brody provides organizations with a proven play book for pivoting and positioning their companies to stay relevant and thrive in the post-innovation era.

Beyond Human
There is a great deal of confusion around what AI is and what it is actually capable of. Beyond Human decodes the world of artificial intelligence from the perspective of its impact on the core competencies of an organization. It puts in place a roadmap for how one can understand the impact of an era when the human brain is no longer the most sophisticated hard drive on earth. It’s about practicality, not scientific theory. We are standing at a great precipice in human history. It’s time to demystify AI and truly understand what it is and how it can be harnessed to propel organizations to their next level of growth and purpose.
