Quote from Nordic Business Forum Leadership:
“Even in a world increasingly driven by technology, it's still human strengths that make the difference,” says Priit Liiv, CEO of Nordic Business Forum. “Focus under pressure, deep trust, and the courage to lead; these are the traits that will define leadership in the years ahead. With The Human Edge, we want to explore how leaders can collaborate with technology in ways that amplify—not replace—our humanity.”
