Nadjia Yousif : Why you should treat the tech you use at work like a colleague

Nadjia Yousif at TED@BCG Toronto  (transcript)
Why you should treat the tech you use at work like a colleague
Summary
This has been an interesting story because the words that treat and ignore were used for our technologies, so we have to treat the tech that we use at work like a colleague.

It's because the speaker who is a technology advisor is often said that technology leads to the benefits fail despite huge investment is put into it. In fact, technology projects are sometimes canceled and there is technology that is never used and it’s wasted.

And then the reasons that it’s wasted are that the people on the front lie to use it are skeptical and even afraid. They don’t want to remember how to log into and use. In my opinion, they just don't want to lose their job but they will be in trouble if the tech does their work very fast.

Thus in your company, the tech that people think that it’s wasted can work more, owner have to teach them treating technology like a team member. The speaker suggests to use Org charts, look for people and posts are better for machines. It’s important to be able to work well together and have a tenuous relationship. It means a human and machines like colleagues.

Stop wasting technology, we must feel happier about working with technology. Embracing its idea must lead us to performing better and being happier.
