Unlocking the Power of Human Organizations

Our organizations have been run on very "mechanical" models for centuries, but today's social media revolution, with its focus on more human principles, is showing us a more powerful way of leading and managing that has the potential to really transform our organizations. But humanizing our organizations is no easy task - it will require change at all levels, from culture, to process, to structure, to individual behavior.

In this session, Jamie Notter, co-author of Humanize: How People-Centric Organizations Succeed in a Social World, will explore what it takes to create a more human organization and provide some practical, actionable advice for starting the change process in your organization.
