2. Can Emotion Be Automated?
When it comes to computational heavy lifting, artificial intelligence (AI) beats humans every time. But within the current technological limitations, no amount of number-crunching alone has yet enabled AI to develop emotional intelligence (EI). So far, there is no code for that.

Say you've been putting in extra hours for the past two years trying to meet a career benchmark–then, suddenly, a personal emergency puts a halt to your plans (and a significant dent in your confidence).

7. Investing in training offers a competitive boost
Globally, 84% of organisations are boosting their investment in reskilling programmes in the face of automation, and 53% say they will increase their training budget by 6% or more this year, Deloitte found in its 2019 Global Human Capital Trends report.

8. H&M on the sustainability challenge
"Our board of directors reviews a set of metrics every six months, our CEO and CFO every three months. We publish these and more metrics annually. Additionally, we have the 4C scorecard – a set of KPIs consisting of four pillars, whereof sustainability is one. This is used to measure performance within our different business units and brands and is as such also used as a tool for performance review for concerned executives.”

9. Cyber Security: What You Need to Know to Face the Inevitable
While the massive malware attacks like WannaCry or NotPetya garner all the headlines, these are relative rarities in cybercrime. Joe Scargill, U.S. Secret Service Agent, explains that the true culprit is “phishing – business email compromising – almost 100% of the time.
