The future of AI isn’t about replacing human intelligence but enhancing it by prioritizing creativity, empathy, and context. Hunome leads this shift with a human-aware approach to AI, ensuring technology works in harmony with human insight.

This article introduces Hunome, a platform that enhances AI by adding human-centered "sensemaking" to enterprise decision-making. While AI processes vast amounts of data, it lacks contextual understanding and human perspective needed for strategic decisions. Hunome bridges this gap by integrating human knowledge, intuition, and cultural context with AI insights, transforming fragmented data into actionable understanding.

Success in today’s fast-changing world depends on adaptability. This article explores how sensemaking helps businesses improve decisions, efficiency, and innovation to overcome seven key challenges.

Writer Tim McVicar explores the power of collective sensemaking in innovation and strategy. Discover how integrating diverse perspectives helps organizations navigate rapid societal and technological changes, avoiding common pitfalls of superficial innovation for more meaningful, resilient outcomes.

This article examines global population decline through Hunome's collective sensemaking platform, where diverse participants explored the complex factors behind falling birth rates in developed nations. Led by foresight specialist Adam Sharpe, the group identified nine key drivers including shifting social priorities away from traditional family obligations, economic barriers making children unaffordable, women's increased education and career focus, environmental toxins potentially harming fertility, and growing eco-anxiety about bringing children into an uncertain world.

This article discusses how to make better decisions among the 35,000 choices we face daily, moving beyond basic decision-making frameworks to more impactful approaches. The author provides three key tips: delve deeper to understand the full scope and interconnected systems behind an issue, embrace different viewpoints to see the bigger picture and anticipate how your perspective might evolve, and build networks that help you adapt quickly when unexpected factors emerge.

This article explores the challenges of navigating complex information and making confident decisions in our knowledge-saturated world, proposing multidimensional thinking as the solution. Using the parable of blind men describing an elephant from their limited perspectives, the author argues that embracing diverse viewpoints creates more complete understanding than relying on single sources or experts. The piece outlines five benefits of multidimensional thinking: it helps identify bias and misinformation, breaks down knowledge silos, fosters empathy across different perspectives, promotes self-reflection about our own assumptions, and enables more creative and sustainable decision-making.

This article traces the evolution of human-centered decision-making through three phases, arguing that understanding "humanness" remains crucial even in our AI-driven era. It begins with Decision-making 1.0 (traditional market research like focus groups), noting limitations such as short-term focus, isolated methods, and susceptibility to echo chambers that stifle innovation. Decision-making 2.0 introduced technology and AI to improve connections and streamline processes, but the author argues that algorithms cannot handle non-existent information, exceptions to rules, or unexpected anomalies. Decision-making 3.0 emphasizes that human ingenuity creates discontinuities and envisions possibilities beyond past data, making our "shared humanness" essential for better choices despite the complexity it introduces.

This article announces a SparkMap project titled "The Future of Work – What's Next?" that examines the evolving workplace landscape characterized by flexibility, adaptability, and increased technology integration. The project explores shifts away from traditional 9-5 office jobs toward remote work and automation, examining various perspectives on these changes and their impacts. Led by Nicky Dries, who heads the Future of Work Lab at KU Leuven's Faculty of Economics, the SparkMap aims to interconnect global examples, innovative practices, and experiences with concepts like the gig economy and zero-hour contracts. The lab focuses on social imaginaries for the future and developing insights for tomorrow's workforce.

This article reports on WebSummit's focus on human-centricity in business, featuring quotes from executives at major companies like IKEA, Microsoft, and Lush who emphasized putting humanity at the center of their operations. The piece highlights how leaders discussed moving beyond traditional sustainability goals toward actively improving human conditions, shifting from "know-it-all" to "learn-it-all" cultures, and understanding stakeholders as people rather than just data points. The article includes commentary from Sir Ridley Scott about the urgent need for intervention in humanity's crisis state and digital technologies' role in addressing sustainability goals. The piece frames human-centricity as a movement that enables companies to understand real problems people face and offer solutions with broader social impact beyond traditional sales funnel approaches.
