Why Human Stories Will Shape the Future of Business

In a world driven by data, algorithms and automation, it's easy to lose sight of something essential: companies aren't run by technology. They're run by people.

The Hidden Force Behind Every Strategy

What makes a business succeed? It's tempting to point to performance indicators or tech innovation. But behind every sale, every decision, every strategy, there's a person. And behind that person is a story.
