commentary is missing: These systems are going to upend our relationships long before they remake our economies. That’s going to be a hurdle for anyone who wants to replace a lawyer or a researcher with an A.I.

America is, by any historical standard, unimaginably rich and powerful, and yet we’ve lost what matters most: community and connection. That’s the America these A.I.

Mamadi Doumbouya for The New York Times Talk The Digital Workplace Is Designed to Bring You DownWe’ve been given no shortage of digital tools that should, in theory, help us work better, with more focus and efficiency, and connect us more easily with our colleagues.

☆ How the Management Top 250 Rankings Are Picked
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-11 | by ( ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

The Management Top 250 ranking is based on a holistic measure of corporate effectiveness that was developed by the Drucker Institute, a part of Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, Calif. The measure seeks to assess how well a company follows a core set of principles advanced by the late Peter Drucker , a professor, consultant, author and longtime Wall Street Journal columnist. These principles serve as touchstones for five dimensions of corporate performance: customer satisfaction, employee engagement and development, innovation, social responsibility and financial strength. They are standardized so that the typical range is 0 to 100, the mean is 50 and the standard deviation is 10. If a company is one standard deviation below the mean (with a score of 40), its results fall in the bottom 15% to 20% of that larger universe.
