In Pursuit of Digital Happiness

kalendar Wednesday, April 11, 2018 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
kalendar The Ivy, London

Over the last decade digital technology has pervaded every aspect of our lives. Whether it is shopping, forming an opinion, organising our financial affairs or even helping us find our life partner. But with all these apparent benefits, have you ever stopped to ask: “does technology make people happier?”

Businesses are focused on the customer experience with the intent to amplify their clients’ digital comfort. Through algorithms, they mine every bit of data for valuable insights and are changing our economy. But we must realise that beyond the technological marvels and behind these algorithmic businesses, there is always a human being, simply in pursuit of his or her desires.

The possibilities of digital are overwhelming and not yet fully understood. People face challenges and must make difficult trade-offs. In this arena, full of paradoxes, the happiness of the individual must be the guiding principle. The question we will explore during this dinner, is why digital happiness is the driving force of change in the 21st century and what this means for your organisation.

This exculsive private dinner is invitation only. If you would like to attend email seetal.gadhvi@sogeti.com.
