Join us for our next WiseTalk on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, at 4 pm Pacific as Sue hosts futurist and cyborg anthropologist MJ Petroni.

MJ specializes in helping others understand the mental models necessary to navigate digital opportunities. As a cyborg anthropologist, MJ studied shows like Star Trek at university, but not (just) for fun. Their field of study addresses the complex relationships between humans and machines, exploring how we shape technology and how it is reshaping us. They help organizations increase their Digital Fluency in preparation for future technologies, attending not just to tools but also the thinking, skills, data, and business models that comprise new value creation.

The author of Causeit’s digitalfluency.guide, MJ’s work focuses on raising the lowest common denominator of Digital Fluency for individuals, teams, and entire organizations. Since founding Causeit, Inc. in 2006, MJ has shifted thinking for hundreds of global enterprises, including NTT, Accenture, Volkswagen, the Gates Foundation, SWIFT, and several major financial and media companies, raising Digital Fluency among hundreds of thousands of professionals.

MJ is an alumnus of Lewis & Clark College, sits on the Accenture Tech Vision Advisory Board, and is a faculty member at Singularity University.

This month, Sue and MJ will discuss:

• What it means to be digitally fluent
• How to unlock new potential for yourself and your organization and raise your digital fluency
• How to manage the balance between old and new digital transformation
