Description
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, algorithms, blockchains, the Internet of Things, big data analytics, 5G networks, self-driving cars, robotics, 3D printing. In the coming years, these technologies, and others to follow, will have a profound and dramatically disruptive impact on how we work and live. Whether we like it or not, we need to develop a good working relationship with these technologies. We need to know how to "dance" with robots.
In Dancing with Robots, futurist, entrepreneur, and innovation coach Bill Bishop describes 29 strategies for success in the New Economy. These new strategies represent a bold, exciting, unexpected, and radically different road map for future success.
Bishop also explains how our Five Human Superpowers - embodied pattern recognition, unbridled curiosity, purpose-driven ideation, ethical framing, and metaphoric communication - give us a competitive edge over robots and other advanced technology in a world being taken over by automation and AI.

Reviews
I've devoured just about everything Bill Bishop has written. He has the unique ability of distilling complex ideas into simple, doable, and commercial outcomes. Three such ideas I took, and actioned, from his last book were simply to identify a big goal; a big problem; and a signature program to satiate them.
* Padraic O Maille, Founder Smacht Training *Bill brings the reader into the future with Dancing with Robots, and prepares the astute leader to shed old world economy beliefs and, with urgency, learn, embrace and put into practice new economy beliefs.
* Keith Cupp, Founder Gravitas Impact *Leaders walk the line of dealing with the unknown, building confidence to act in those around them, and operating from principles instead of scripts. Bishop is such a leader. In Dancing with Robots, readers will go to the precipice of the immediate future in four intersecting domains: humanity, technology, thinking, and business. 29 strategies take the edge off of how to embrace artificial intelligence and technology - yes, to dance with it! Readers from the humanities, business, entrepreneurs, healthcare, and futurists will appreciate the nuanced stories and sharp focus that supports each strategy. Highly recommended.
