Digitalise the Decision Making – WebTalk 5 of 8

Are humans going to be redundant in the future? This is the question on everyone’s mind. Whilst the future doesn’t look completely bleak for humans, we will need to rethink the sorts of skills we are good at. Those within education and the less routine, more creative, design stages of processes are likely to be relatively safe. But, understanding what skills we need in the future is going to be key to future proofing both companies and people.

The use of data-driven decision-making, or ‘DDDM’ to give it a snappy acronym, is a huge growth area in both the B2B and the B2C sectors. Big data and digitalisation are hot topics and here, Martin Wetzels – Professor in Marketing and Supply Chain Research – talks to Damien Nunes – Design Thinker & Trainer at UMIO – about how all this data can and is being harnessed and the consequences this has for business and society, now and in the future. Will our jobs be automated in the near future, and if so, what can we do to future-proof companies and ourselves?
