“We believe the most important value for business in this emerging era is empathy. Put simply, successful organizations must see the world through the eyes of every customer who interacts with their brand. Only then can they harness the potential of technology to personalize every interaction and create a truly human experience — one that anticipates their customers’ needs, respects their time, appreciates their efforts and values their individuality,” explained Ken Tuchman, chief executive officer of TeleTech. With The Technology of Us, we hope to inspire new perspectives for business leaders to thrive in this new world.”

The Technology of Us explores an emerging reality where technology allows businesses, organizations and people to connect more profoundly, as well as a future where technology becomes an extension of our humanity in new and surprising ways. The e-book explores these ideas through a collection of essays, interviews and multimedia from Ken Tuchman as well as the following leaders and thinkers:

  • Gadi Amit, founder of NewDealDesign, on a higher calling for technology driven by feeling and emotional intelligence.
