  The Measure of Progress -...

  Diane Coyle

  • 0

  The ways that statisticians and governments measure the economy were developed in the 1940s, when the urgent economic problems were entirely different from those of today. In The Measure of Progress, Diane Coyle argues that the framework underpinning today's economic statistics is so outdated that it functions as a distorting lens, or even a set of blinkers. When policymakers rely on such an antiquated conceptual tool, how can they measure, understand, and respond with any precision to what is happening in today's digital economy? 
   
   
   
  The metrics for economic growth were developed when a lack of physical rather than natural capital was the binding constraint on growth, intangible value was less important, and the pressing economic policy challenge was managing demand rather than supply. Today's challenges are different. Growth in living standards in rich economies has slowed, despite remarkable innovation, particularly in digital technologies. As a result, politics is contentious and democracy strained. 
   
   
   
  Coyle argues that to understand the current economy, we need different data collected in a different framework of categories and definitions, and she offers some suggestions about what this would entail. Only with a new approach to measurement will we be able to achieve the right kind of growth for the benefit of all.

  What’s coming next for today’s workforce, and the companies behind them? For those eager and willing to adapt, the possibilities are nearly endless, says author Gerard Szatvanyi. Recent advances in technology have led to new trends, and this global transformation holds tremendous potential. Nearly every industry will be impacted, and organizations that set the right vision could benefit from breaking into new markets and creating specialized niches. Organizations have the opportunity to utilize AI solutions to equip team members and uplevel their skills. Along the way, they’ll need to think through the purpose of the office. It will also become increasingly important to follow smart protocols when hiring virtually and to take care as they operate in new regions to ensure these places align with their values. 
   
  As AI moves into the lives of everyday workers, companies can be assured that the human touch will still be essential. Even as machine learning and automation reduce the need for intense labor, team members will be tasked with higher level responsibilities, including the job of supervising AI and making final decisions. Firms can expect to see benefits ranging from increased productivity, higher rates of worker satisfaction, improved efficiencies, and the potential to produce new revenue streams from specialized products and services. Having an open mind and a willingness to think differently could help organizations increase their chances to gain — and hold — a strong position in their respective industries. 
   
  With more than 20 years of experience in the tech industry, Szatvanyi has long been fascinated with digital solutions and their impact. As founder of OSF Digital, a global IT services company, he has worked with clients and brands around the world, consulting and directing digital initiatives to equip organizations with the tools they need to reach consumer expectations and demand.
