People analytics (the reflexive use of big data within organizations to drive decision making) has the potential to transform the way we manage and lead from altering hiring practices to workload assessment and collaboration. From our 2017 Digital Transformation Summit, Professor Jeff Polzer leads a panel discussion exploring the state of this new field and what it means for managers — and employees — across the board.
Approximately 1.5 to 2 billion people in the world suffer from diabetes, pre-diabetes, or a complication associated with it, and yet more than 90% of them never even get tested. To combat this challenge, Professor Tarun Khanna developed a simple diagnostic device that works with any smartphone in the world. The result is a game-changing innovation that is reshaping the state of diabetes testing, treatment, and data analysis around the globe.
In this flash talk from our 2017 Future Assembly conference, David Park from the Faculty of the Arts and Sciences at Columbia University, images how cities may be organized in the future and what will be needed to get there.
