In What Matters Next: A Leader's Guide to Making Human-Friendly Tech Decisions in a World That's Moving Too Fast, renowned author and consultant Kate O'Neill delivers a roadmap to achieve business growth, transformation, and innovation through the use of emerging technologies—but crucially, in a human-centric manner that benefits both business and humanity.

Drawing on her experience working with organizations like Google, Yale, and the United Nations, O'Neill offers a unique blend of strategic guidance, ethical considerations, and practical application to help organizations not just survive, but thrive through bold and empathetic leadership.
In this book, listeners will learn about making better strategic decisions by moving from questions, to insights, to "Bankable Foresights"; creating a model that aligns focus, purpose, values, and resources across an organization; understanding the intersection and potential harmony of human knowledge and machine intelligence; and ensuring digital transformation and innovation efforts frame the future in human terms.

What Matters Next is a must-listen for all business leaders and individuals interested in the impact of emerging technology on business and humanity and seeking to effect positive change for the benefit of all.

What I appreciate about this book is how it brings needed balance to the pace of technology. In a world moving faster than our minds can process, it offers clarity and space to think. As both a leader in technology and ministry, I value how the author wrestles with the tension of moving fast while not breaking humanity in our decision-making. It’s a practical guide for leading with both vision and responsibility helping us steward innovation without losing sight of people.

Getting things done in a humane way!
