To really address the data concerns of today's enterprise, they wanted to find a way to help enterprises achieve the success they seek. Not as a prescriptive process-but a methodology to become agile and leverage data and analytics to drive a competitive advantage. You know, it's amazing what can happen when two people with very different perspectives get together to solve a big problem. This evolutionary guide resulted from the a-ha moment between these two influencers at the top of their fields - one, an academic researcher and consultant, and the other, a longtime analytics practitioner and chief product officer at Teradata. Together, they created a powerful framework every type of business can use to connect analytic power, business practices, and human dynamics in ways that can transform what is currently possible. -- Provided by publisher

This invigorating and thought-provoking exploration examines the rise of automation and its implications for sustainable careers across various industries. With nearly half of working Americans at risk of job loss due to technology, the threat extends beyond blue-collar roles to educated knowledge workers, including writers, paralegals, and medical technicians. The industrial revolution previously shifted workers from farms to factories, while the first era of automation relieved humans of manual labor. Now, we are entering Era Three, marked by the rise of artificial intelligence, where smart computers can outperform humans in decision-making, learning, and comprehension. This evolution raises questions about the future of professions such as law, nursing, teaching, and editing. The authors reframe the conversation around automation, suggesting that the future lies not in a competition between humans and machines, but in their collaboration. By embracing augmentation—using technology to enhance human capabilities—workers can achieve greater productivity and success. Rather than viewing machines as threats, we can see them as partners in creative problem-solving as we transition into this new era. The choice to adapt and thrive is ours.
