Every AI implementation should pass this test: ✓ Does it expand human cognitive capacity? ✓ Does it deepen emotional intelligence? ✓ Does it liberate time for meaningful work?
This is what I call "𝑯𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑴𝒆𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒔"—measuring how AI makes us more capable, connected, and focused humans.

The organizations that thrive won't just be the most automated—they'll be the most augmented.
AI's greatest value isn't replacing human capabilities—it's amplifying what makes us uniquely human while freeing us to focus on what matters most.
The future belongs to those who use AI to become more human, not less.
Question for you: Which of these 3 AI values would have the biggest impact on your work and life?
The gap between automation and augmentation is where transformation becomes truly meaningful.
