Fabio Pereira - Author of "Digital Nudge" & Head of Open Innovation Labs in Latin America at Red Hat
Linda Rising - Author of various books & Computer Software Consultant and Professional
DESCRIPTION
35,000. That's the average number of decisions a person makes every day. Have you ever wondered how many of these are digital decisions — ones made using technology like smartphones, wearables or laptops? How about decisions that computers, algorithms and artificial intelligence make for us?
The vast majority of our decisions are influenced by irrational and emotional factors. For decades, scientists have been studying so we can better understand how it is possible not only to predict but also influence decisions through interventions on the environment where decisions are made.
Learn more by diving into this GOTO Book Club episode with Fabio Pereira and Linda Rising.
The interview is based on Fabio's book "Digital Nudge"

In this session, we explore how our individual journeys to self-acceptance and alignment are also the heart of how we can work with and support teams. We will learn about how to truly help teams move towards agility, by helping them find and own their process and tell their own story. So they stay aligned and can continually realign when their context changes.
• Why authenticity and self-acceptance matters for both individuals and teams
• How to create lasting change in teams, without imposing process or creating learned helplessness.
• How to help teams own their process and tell their own story.
