Technology as a Force for Inclusion

A recent trip to visit my family in Kansas offered an unexpected example of how quickly the nature of work is changing. While I was there, we stopped in at a restaurant near the edge of our small town. In the past, it was the kind of place where you’d be greeted and served by eager young people—mostly local high school students or recent graduates getting their first work experience. This time, however, a computer screen at the entrance assigned us to a table.

Hell No, Kraft Heinz! Hell Yes, Business For Good!

Unilever swatted away their unsolicited financial-driven suitors like a grizzly bear smacks down an interloper if her cubs are close by.
