Paola Pisano
Professor at University of Torino
Talk recording
If technological and industrial revolutions change how we live, work, and learn, what else could a humane revolution change?
Are we living in the midst of a revolution? If so, what kind?
Together, we will explore one possible approach to understanding and making the most of this historical moment to shape the next generation of organisations and people.
To put this approach into practice, we will introduce a methodology—and demonstrate its practical application—that combines the rigour of experimental designs used in clinical research with methods from social and organisational research.
We will also explore the next steps and how we can contribute.
