#209 Exponential Africa - Parsable

06/24/19 • 11 min

Today On the Exponential Africa Show Mic Mann Interviews Lawrence Whittle, CEO of Parsable. A connected worker platform used to execute and measure work for industrial companies, taking analogue ways of working and digitising the workforce process.

Simply put, Parsable is helping customers fuse quality and execution together to build better products faster. Eliminate time-wasting paper procedure distribution, training, separate data entry, and manual work analytics, and continuously gather ideas for improving the work itself from employees and the work they do.

“Humans are not going away but their jobs are changing, and when jobs are changing you need to make sure that they are connected in the same ways that machines are connected. The efficiency gains of making sure humans to human and human to machines are connected are a clear driver for efficiency in the future” Lawrence Whittle.

This connected workforce is a must and closely related to the reality of the demographic change of the worker.

Watch the full Video to hear all about Parsable and the future benefits of liberating the industrial world by digitisation.
