Should automation help us work slower? 

A CEO argues that automation shouldn’t be used to help teams work faster, but that we should use automation to work slower.

The Industrial Revolution gave us the assembly line, and with it, a simplified concept of productivity: more is more. Assuming quality remained the same, generating a greater output equaled higher productivity. For today’s knowledge workers, the nature of the output has changed. The goal for many workers isn’t necessarily to do more work, but perhaps better, more innovative, more impactful work.
