Humanizing Technology: Agathe Daae Qvale on Weaving Love in the IT World

Women RISE

Agathe Daae Qvale is a wise guide in the tech world and a compassionate coach, whose purpose is to weave Heart Intelligence within the tech management world.
In our conversation, Agathe shares wisdom from her book "Digitized Product Management," Illuminating a path for leaders to navigate technological innovation and change, blending feminine qualities such as intuition, imagination, and empathy into the structured landscape of IT.
Agathe and I share examples of impactful outcomes through simple rituals that honor our shared humanity within the workplace. Together, we discuss the ethical dilemmas surrounding artificial intelligence and the need to utilize such tools responsibly. This means nurturing empathy, compassion, and interconnectedness to bridge the gap between our interior human maturity and the actual power technological progress grants us.
From Agathe's website: "My mission is to provide a purposeful point of view on what is happening all around us today in the space of digitalization through innovation. The ground rules of innovation are constant principles, still applicable when artificial intelligence and Agile approaches seemingly disrupt the rules of the game. My passion is to explore the dilemmas of digitized product management. I want my readers to better own their digital journey, not merely reacting to the evolution of technology.”
