À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
What happens when knowledge becomes unlimited, but attention remains scarce?
In this episode of The Optimist, Dale Rickert speaks with Jochen Ditsche, Global Head of Digital Team at Roland Berger, about how AI is reshaping expertise, work, and human value in an age of infinite information. From automation and digital distraction to consulting, leadership, and education, Jochen argues that the future won’t belong to those with the most information, but to those who can apply judgment, create meaning, and build genuine human connections. As AI makes knowledge increasingly accessible, skills like focus, context, critical thinking, and relationship-building become more important than ever.
This conversation explores how organizations can navigate technological change, why employees shouldn’t fear automation, and what future generations need to thrive in a world where machines can generate answers, but humans still need to decide what we care about.
A must-listen for leaders, knowledge workers, and anyone thinking about the future of work in the age of AI.
