Emotional Data Between the data and the reality falls the shadow. The shadow is the emotion, the stories, the messiness that humans have contained within us. Today in the idolatry age of data and ai, those who rely on only on numbers and computation get it wrong and wrong and wrong. People do not compute. We choose with our hearts and then use numbers to justify what we just did. rishad.substack.com/p/emotio…

Today's Substack post revisits book Rethinking Work, 18 months after publication. A book that originally was rejected by HarperCollins three years ago ( they changed their mind and decided to publish it after McGraw-Hill bought it) because they believed it was a work of "science fiction" has now proven to be more prescient than anything written on the future of work. More importantly it is filled with actionable insights. The post shares the five forces changing work ( AI is just one) including societal change, new mindsets, the rise of a new type of worker and a plethora of marketplaces. Read why 1) Jobs are a silly phase work is going through 2) Covid was not about where we work but why we work 3) How the age of debossification is here and challenging leadership 4) Why most employees will not be full-time before the end of the decade 5) How we are moving to a company eco-system of whales and plankton 6) Why many of the financial metrics of a firm need to be changed The handbook for your company's future but more importantly for yours Work will change more this decade than it has in the past 50 years Also a SXSW video of my interview with Fortune whose first five minutes will change your perspectives. rishad.substack.com/p/rethin…

We're thrilled to welcome Rishad Tobaccowala to Ema's EX advisory council. @rishad has spent four decades helping people, organizations, and teams reinvent themselves to remain relevant in changing times. His argument has stayed consistent: AI is the tool, never the strategy. Talent is the differentiator. He believes work will change more between 2020 and 2029 than it did in the previous fifty years. That is the bet Ema is making. Our AI Employees for HR, IT, and finance take on the grind, so the people inside a company can do the work that actually needs them. Rishad spent nearly four decades at @publicisgroupe as its Global Chief Strategist and Growth Officer, and remains a Senior Advisor to the firm. A pioneer of digital marketing, he was Chairman of Digitas and Razorfish. He leads The Rethinking Work Platform, has written two books for HarperCollins, "Restoring the Soul of Business" and "Rethinking Work," and writes a weekly thought-letter read by more than 30,000 leaders. He is one of only 300 people selected to the Advertising Hall of Fame in 75 years. Rishad's belief in the category, and in Ema's approach, means the world to us. Welcome, Rishad, to Ema's advisory board!
