EMBRACING RETURN ON LIVES (ROL) by Maria Dahrieh
Collective Intelligence Action
As we embrace these technological advancements, it is crucial to consider the broader implications for the workforce. Investing in collective intelligence, education, and borderless knowledge sharing becomes paramount. Every action counts. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed our vulnerabilities and highlighted our unpreparedness for global disruptions. Let us learn from history to prevent it from repeating itself, by prioritizing ROL, we can create a world where technology and humanity coexist symbiotically.
By fostering an environment where continuous learning and adaptability are encouraged, we can ensure that individuals are equipped with the skills necessary to thrive in this new era.
In this critical time, our focus should shift from merely seeking ROI (Return on Investment) to prioritizing ROL (Return on Lives). Every single dollar we invest today is not just about financial gains but about securing a meaningful and sustainable future for Earth, ourselves, and the generations to come. Investing in ROL means focusing on initiatives that enhance human well-being, foster community, and ensure that technological advancements uplift rather than undermine the human spirit.
