Data Culture

How to Succeed with Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence

Author, curator and podcaster Bruno Giussani was the European director and global curator of the TED conferences for two decades (2005-24). In 
 Our Minds Under Siege,
 the specialist of digital culture writes about the "technologies of influence" and their social and political implications. In a world saturated with information, social media, artificial intelligence and strategies of cognitive influence, our capacity for thinking clearly and understanding reality is itself under threat. It is no longer only about disinformation and fake news: these technologies capture our attention, appropriate our data, analyze and exploit our emotions and challenge our autonomy of thought.
 Giussani decrypts how AI and other algorithmic technologies work and what their impacts are. He explains the nature of the relationship that is developing between us and these machines and the economic and power structures in which they exist. And he offers guidance to resisting against this technological takeover and for us to become competent users of AI without being used by it.

Turning Complex Business into Simple Success

The Simplicity Switch

Today's leaders are operating in an environment of unprecedented complexity - managing multigenerational workforces, leading across cultures and borders, responding to social change and accelerating digital transformation. Without Cultural Intelligence (CQ) alongside IQ and EQ, it's impossible to navigate this complexity with clarity, confidence and impact.Cultural misunderstandings erode performance and traditional leadership models struggle to scale in hybrid, hyper-diverse teams.Discover practical tools and actionable insights to turn difference into a source of strength rather than friction in everyday leadership challenges: collaboration across global and generational divides, inclusive recruitment, and the human implications of technology.At a time of talent scarcity, polarization and rapid technological change, leaders need more than technical expertise - they need the human capability to adapt, connect and lead wisely. Packed with real-world case studies and future-focused insights, The Cultural Intelligence Advantage shows how CQ future-proofs leaders and organizations, enabling them to unlock their full potential in an increasingly complex world.

The PR Writing Workshop

<div>Human history is a history of individuals - of kings and queens, of leaders and thinkers and of the many individuals who struggle, work hard and find their paths in life. It is also the history of individuation, understood as a continuous search for autonomy, self-affirmation and the achievement of personal goals. But today, this process of individuation is coming to an end and morphing into its opposite - disindividuation. The individual is giving way to the progressive loss of individuality and social life is turning into the society of "dividuals" - that is, beings who are becoming unaware of their uniqueness and who are losing their sense of self.&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>The main driver of this process is technology. The more that individuals rely on technological devices to fill the social void and mitigate loneliness, the more they are recognized not so much for themselves but as the bearers of the devices that contain all the information necessary for their identity: images, texts and the digital traces of earlier exchanges. Individuals increasingly renounce their privacy, sharing it with a device that becomes an integral part of themselves. Deprived of uniqueness, the dividual is a lonely being who no longer has the ability to relate effectively to others and to external reality. We move towards a future without hope, immersed in the ever-innovative flow of information on screens, content to survive the present, as if nothing mattered.</div> <div>Human history is a history of individuals - of kings and queens, of leaders and thinkers and of the many individuals who struggle, work hard and find their paths in life.

Future of Business and Finance

The rise of the Internet, social media, mobile technology, IoT, artificial intelligence (AI), and Web3 has fundamentally transformed how brands engage with consumers—enabling smarter marketing capabilities, personalized user interactions, and exponential growth in revenue, influence, and data value. This book introduces the concept of Brand Digital Intelligence, a two-step framework that helps brands thrive in the digital age through digital transformation and intelligent marketing. Structured around a digital transformation roadmap, the book explores how organizations can build robust digital infrastructure, foster active user participation, and turn consumers into long-term value contributors. 
Key topics include marketing innovation, platform business models, consumer journey design, online communities, smart stores, mobile applications, AI-powered marketing, and decentralized brand strategies enabled by Web3. The book calls for a paradigm shift from traditional campaign-based marketing to intelligent, data-driven ecosystems, where private domains, users, and data become core strategic assets—powered by algorithmic decision-making and compounding flywheel effects that drive sustained growth and engagement. Extending this evolution, the book illustrates how AI-driven brand ecosystems in the Web2 era naturally progress toward autonomous, community-driven organizations in the Web3 world, enabled by tokenized incentives, digital ownership, and co-created value. 
Combining strategic frameworks, real-world case studies, and actionable insights, this book is an essential guide for marketing professionals, technology leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors seeking to master the next frontier of AI and Web3-powered brand transformation.

The PR Agency Handbook

Why unfettered free-market capitalism endangers democracy—and what to do about it. In Private Power and Democracy’s Decline, Mordecai Kurz explores the relationship between free-market capitalism and democracy. He shows that technology has made capitalism different from what was envisioned in the Age of Enlightenment. Technology creates centers of market power and monopoly concentration that result in a society in which some people are enriched immensely while many workers’ livelihoods are often destroyed. Contrary to conventional thinking, technological competition does not remove market power, which becomes a permanent fixture of free-market capitalism. Such private power creates political inequality and generates forces that cause democracy’s decline and possible destruction. Applying these ideas to the US, Kurz shows that today’s problems begin in the 1980s with the policy of unregulated free-market capitalism. Coupled with the information technology revolution, this created a techno-winner-takes-all economy—leading to a second Gilded Age of unsustainable inequality and extreme political polarization. In the last 50 years, the economy “boomed” for some while leaving the majority of America’s workers behind. Kurz concludes that only regulated capitalism can support democracy so that the benefits of technology are more equally shared and no person’s livelihood is destroyed to enable others to be enriched. To save democracy, he proposes a “restoration-of-livelihood” policy, offering firms managerial flexibility to maintain rising productivity while ensuring that technology does not destroy the livelihood of others.

How to Make Capitalism Support Democracy

Private Power and Democracy's Decline

Nick Clegg, formerly one of Meta's most senior executives, presents a blueprint for reforming Big Tech while preserving the essential openness of the internet 'Warns of the dangers posed to a free and open global internet by an age of autocrats and a titanic power struggle over AI' Guardian As democracies seek to curb the power of Big Tech, as authoritarian regimes like China and Russia isolate their populations from the internet, and as the AI race supercharges divisions between competing nations, the most powerful tool for bringing us together risks being dismantled. Taking us behind the scenes at Meta, and drawing on his unique experience on the world stage of both tech and politics, Nick Clegg sets out where Big Tech has gone wrong and the radical reforms that are needed if global platforms are to ensure their long-term future. But he also shows that many of the charges against them are overstated or simply untrue, and presents a blueprint for the international cooperation that is needed if we are to preserve what makes them so vital to our future: their potential to empower and improve billions of lives. Radical, reasonable, deeply felt and disarmingly honest, How To Save the Internet reminds us how much we stand to lose on our current path - and how much we might yet gain from a global, open internet. 'Entertaining . . . lucid, detailed . . . there is much to agree with' Spectator 'Studded throughout [with] good analyses of the political situation around technology' Observer 'A gripping and timely book. Nick Clegg writes with clarity, authority and urgency' Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads 'A wake-up call we cannot afford to ignore' Tony Blair 'A vital read' Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn

Master's Thesis from the year 2025 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Recruiting, grade: 1,2, University of Applied Sciences Dortmund, language: English, abstract: This master's thesis explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in modern recruitment processes with a particular focus on applicants' trust. As digitalization and AI increasingly transform the world of work, organizations are adopting AI-supported recruiting tools to enhance efficiency, standardization, and data-driven decision-making. At the same time, the use of AI in personnel selection raises important questions regarding transparency, fairness, and acceptance from the applicants' perspective.

The objective of this thesis is to examine how applicants perceive AI-assisted recruitment processes and which aspects are relevant for the development of trust in this context. To address this research objective, a qualitative research design was chosen. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants who had either experienced AI-supported recruitment processes or reflected on their expectations toward such processes.

The empirical data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis following Kuckartz' approach. This method allows for a systematic examination of subjective perceptions, attitudes, and evaluations, while combining theory-driven and data-driven coding. The analysis focuses on applicants' experiences with different forms of AI usage in recruitment, their expectations toward human and technological decision-making, and their assessment of AI-supported processes within the broader candidate journey.

By linking theoretical concepts of trust in technology with empirical insights from applicants, this thesis contributes to the growing body of literature on AI in recruiting. In addition, it provides a structured foundation for further academic research and offers valuable insights for organizations seeking to better understand applicant perspectives on AI-supported recruitment processes.

The Gods Must Be Crazy!

Two civilizations are building the same technology through entirely different logics. One is gilded and theatrical. The other is turbid and relentless. Most investors are watching only one river.
Dragon vs. Eagle is a contrarian strategic forecast that exposes how China's autonomous vehicle manufacturing machine-led by BYD, XPeng, Huawei, and a new generation of pure-play operators like WeRide and Pony.ai-is quietly overtaking the American robotaxi narrative built around Waymo, Tesla, and a $1.5 trillion valuation illusion.
Using the proprietary M¿y¿ Meter, this autonomous vehicle investment guide reveals the staggering per-vehicle valuation gap: Waymo at ~$50 million per vehicle versus WeRide at ~$3 million. The Dinosaur Meter scores the fragility of legacy automakers-Ford (83.4), Volkswagen (79.1), Toyota (70.6)-against a refinancing wall that the capital markets have not yet priced.
At the heart of the analysis is the 'Industrialiser' archetype: how China's state-directed electric vehicle supply chain has driven hardware costs from $150,000 to $150, producing a massive 'Data Monsoon' from BYD's God's Eye ADAS system-now generating 150 million kilometers of driving data per day across 21+ million vehicles. This is not a car story. It is the birth of the first mass-produced embodied intelligence platform.
The book maps the Interdependency Web connecting five nodes-autonomous mobility, logistics, robotics, distributed energy, and financial data rails-and provides a complete investment framework: the Quarter-Kelly position-sizing model, the Six Temples taxonomy, and Three Monsoons scenario planning for 2030-2035.
For investors navigating the US-China technology war, tariff policy, semiconductor export controls, and the LiDAR cost curve revolution, Dragon vs. Eagle delivers what no other book does: the boatman's manual for reading both rivers at once.
From the author of The Gods Must Be Crazy II: A Rooseveltian Renaissance for Trump 2.0, with three decades of Fortune 10 strategic consulting across 40+ countries, Six Sigma Master Black Belt and TOGAF9 credentials, and field expertise spanning the geopolitical risk landscape from BIG4 boardrooms to the ancient ritual traditions of Kerala.
