“Empower leaders to build meaningful futures”

CARLO’S PURPOSE

The future of work asks us to consider the biggest questions of our age. What influence will the continuing march of technology, automation and artificial intelligence (AI) have on where we work and how we work? Will we need to work at all? What is our place in an automated world? Many purely focus on technology and the role that automation is predicted to have on jobs and the workplace. Carlo believes the real story is far more complicated. This is not only about technological innovation, but merely about the manner in which humans decide to use that technology.

Through his writing and speaking Carlo’s purpose is to inspire leaders to augment our society and business with technology that improves our lives, while humanizing the Future of Work.

He wants to inspire people to use new technologies in a proper way and build human organizations where people purposefully love to work under mindful and inspiring leadership in good harmony with technology. Through proper use of technology, we can make the world better by curing diseases, save the environment for our children and create more equal opportunities for everyone on this planet.
