  • A CPO’s daily must-listen

    Just like I start my day listening to a daily news summary, I finish it with Future Ready Leadership. As a CPO, this is my main source of HR and work-related news and perspectives. I count on these insights and share them with members of the C suite and our People team several times a week. Jacob has sometimes slightly iconoclastic and always fresh takes, especially on AI, where he doesn’t take stories at face value but rather acts like a trustworthy sanity-filter.

  • Looking forward to reading Jacob's latest book!

    I have been following Jacob's work for many years, his books, and his podcasts. I really enjoy the Tuesday-Thursday content that covers the top stories related to AI and much more. Plus, the guests on the Monday podcast share so much relevant and useful information.

    Thanks Jacob and looking forward to reading your latest book when I'm back from holiday.
