Tod Maffin | President, engageQ & Author of TOUCH
Tod Maffin is one of the country’s go-to commentators on the impact of accelerated technological change and innovation in business and economic environments. Tod speaks to several aspects of technology and the resulting implications for the world in which we live. His 2014 book; TOUCH – Five Factors to Growing and Leading a Human Organization offers a refreshing look at the humanity behind our digital-centric lives. In the book, Tod looks at the fundamental changes in digital business and the effect those changes have in HR, Marketing and connecting with stakeholders. The potential issue has risen however, that in an effort to use technology to connect with people more effectively, we may have lost the humanity – that critical person-to-person connection – that is the engine of commerce.
