The world is spinning so fast it&rsquo;s difficult to keep up. Two hundred and fifty years ago the Industrial Revolution replaced our arms and legs at work. The fourth Industrial Revolution is now replacing our brains. <br/>
<br/>
This technological shift is engulfing organisations and people. It&rsquo;s challenging the very essence of what it means to be human. Daily news headlines pose existential questions that used to belong in the pages of science fiction:
<ul>
    <li>Will a machine take my job? </li>
    <li>Are we becoming cyborgs? </li>
    <li>What happens when super computers become self-aware? </li>
    <li>If we can&rsquo;t compete with artificial intelligence, what&rsquo;s left? </li>
</ul>
<br/>
<br/>
Innovation guru Greg Orme provides a helpful, funny and supportive shove in the right direction. He explores the skills you need to survive and thrive in a world of artificial intelligence. He urges you to stop competing, and instead do things machines can&rsquo;t. To become a more human, human. <br/>
<br/>
This is a practical toolkit to master three intrinsically human &lsquo;super powers&rsquo;:
<ul>
    <li>1. To ignite your innate CURIOSITY in a world of accelerating change&hellip; </li>
    <li>2. To rediscover your CREATIVITY to produce an avalanche of game-changing ideas&hellip; </li>
    <li>3. To develop CONNECTIVITY to kindle the passion, persistence and insights to successfully engage fellow humans to turn human creativity into business innovation. </li>
</ul>
These career-enhancing capabilities have been identifed in Orme&rsquo;s work with business managers and organisations across the globe. They draw upon the latest psychological and neuroscience research, the unique philosophies of successful entrepreneurs, the practises of the world&rsquo;s most innovative companies, as well as the habits of great artists, designers and scientists.

<ul>
    <li>1 Become a more human human </li>
    <li>2 Say hello to Frankenstein </li>
    <li>3 Who stole your imagination? </li>
    <li>4 The power of purpose </li>
    <li>5 Fire up your laser </li>
