Hub & Spoken: Data | Analytics | Chief Data Officer | CDO | Data Strategy The future of work isn't about AI. It's about us.
AI is no longer a distant concept; it's here, reshaping the way we live and work. From coding and customer service to creative content, AI is already taking on tasks once thought to be uniquely human. But what does that mean for the future of work, and more importantly, for the role of leaders?
In this solo episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster, CEO and Founder of Cynozure, explores the real implications of AI on jobs, leadership, and human value. Drawing lessons from history, automation, shipping containers, even the rise of personal computing, Jason argues that every wave of technology has shifted humans "up a level of abstraction," moving us from doing to designing, to directing and innovating.
He sets out four essential human traits to thrive in the age of AI:
-
Think bigger – focus on outcomes, strategy, and imagination
-
Lead differently – provide clarity, orchestrate teams, and build culture
-
Connect deeper – lean into empathy, context, and trust
-
Grow and adapt – stay curious, resilient, and open to change
🎧 Tune in to hear Jason's take on how we can design the future we want to be part of.
