    <description>It is seductive to fear the future because we are biologically programmed to look for danger. This natural impulse is enabled by popular media.  However, this podcast is meant to awaken a sense of hope for a bright Humalogy™ future. With a more expansive view of the facts, history has proven that humanity constantly progresses. 
Technology is increasing the speed at which we experience this beneficial progression.

  <description>This episode carries on the thinking for what the endgame might look like for technology and organizations. There are seeds already planted that will certainly grow over the next 100 years and may look familiar but blossom in was we never expected. For example, what really will the impacts of AI be on organizations over the long run. Many of the ideas Scott delivers in this pod will be hotly debated for a while. In the long run, we will get to see how prescient he really is!

  <description>This podcast kicks off the next series about the Endgame of Digital Transformation. The next four podcasts will postulate what the future may look like when technology is “done” transforming four areas of our world. This podcast kicks off the predications with the impacts of technology on society in general. While no one, not even Scott, can predict the future with 100% accuracy, even being able to imagine the future with some degree of clarity is helpful for knowledge and decisions today. Listen in and see if you agree with the picture Scott paints about what society might look like when our grandkids are old!

  <description>There are many CEO’s and CIO’s who cringe the moment someone says the phrase “digital transformation.” Unfortunately, the concept was hijacked by consultants and advisors for a decade and became way overused before an appropriate definition could really get into the dictionary. It became a term synonymous with digitizing business processes. It is a perfect time to redo the common definition and broaden it to look at a fifty-year time in history that is transforming humanity. This podcast also sets up the next series so be sure to listen so you have background needed to understand future episodes.

  <description>This is one of Scott’s favorite topics! He has been studying and talking about transhumanism for over a decade and it is time to take this concept more mainstream so we can prepare for the outcome. Our technology tools are becoming more powerful each year and with the advent of powerful robotics and AI, we will soon (historically speaking) have the ability to power our lives and capabilities far past previous generations. At some point, we will no longer be Homo Sapien, we will be a new species that is dimensionally more capable and powerful. We will not be cyborgs, we will humans who are boosted with tools that cause us to be H+. If you have not listened to the previous podast (The Singularity: A Better Definition) please listen to that one first because the Singularity and Transhumanism go together in ways you will learn.

  <description>Like the story of the fish that do not have a sense that they live in the water because it always all around them, humanity is being impacted by the amplification of technology. For those of us living right in the middle of it, we have a sense that our lives are changing, but we don’t really have the comparative scale to understand how much or how fast. People who have lived for many decades can remember the way it was and compare to the way it is – for better or for worse. Younger people have less perspective to work with. This podcast talks about the dark and the light of digital amplification when looked at through a larger lens. The more precise perspective we can create on what technology can and will do to humanity, the more we can make good decisions on finding the needed balance between humans and machines.

  <description>As a new wave of intelligent automation tools with levels get used in the workforce, we shift the Humalogy balance. Scott makes new observations as to the ideas and best practices people need to know in order to gain a tactical advantage with further automating the systems that drive organizations. In the larger picture, we are replacing large swaths of work formerly done by hand and the long term ramifications of trusting machines with doing the majority of work in an organization need to be discussed.

  <description>People say young folks are the hope of the world, but often, the person saying this has no idea just how true that is. Scott Klososky discusses the concept of "generations" and perceptions surrounding Gen Z and the A’s (or Alphas) after them, who are being born today. 
In the US, Baby Boomers, Gen X and Millenials have increasingly developed lives that have serious emotional, physical and mental difficulties. Younger generations are facing a world where so much of what should be balanced well is painfully off kilter, and dealing with this in incredibly innovative ways.

  <description>World-renowned technology expert and speaker Scott Klososky discusses the possibilities and opportunities of awakening and embracing Digital Transformation. It is seductive to fear the future because we are biologically programmed to look for danger. This natural impulse is enabled by popular media.
However, this podcast is meant to awaken a sense of hope for a bright Humalogy™ future. With a more expansive view of the facts, history has proven that humanity constantly progresses.
Technology is increasing the speed at which we experience this beneficial progression.
