Re-Humanize: How to Build Human-Centric Organizations in the Age of Algorithms

DESIGNING TOMORROW’ S ORGANIZATIONS The super-power of our species is the ability to organize ourselves to pursue a variety of goals. But organizations are also communities of connection, meaning, and shared purpose-- the natural habitat of human beings. Balancing the goal-centric and human-centric aspects of organizations has always been hard, but digitalization, and in particular rapid developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms, can make it harder. In a book written for anyone who works in or leads organizations of any type or size, Phanish Puranam, a globally recognized expert on organization design, explains how we can navigate the rapid digitalization of organizations in a way that improves their goal-centricity without sacrificing their human centricity.

Phanish Puranam’s research in the field of organizational science focuses on how organizations work, and how we can make them work better. He is known for his work using computational methods to study organizations as complex adaptive systems. Phanish holds the Roland Berger Chair Professorship in Strategy & Organization Design at INSEAD.
