All major players are into it and also with many solutions.

Voice will provide that next level of ease of interaction with Digital. While this will not replace the existing methods but will for sure carve out a significant share of human to digital interactions and will also extend to Digital to Digital Interactions.
The possibilities of Digital to Digital interactions over voice will also loosen up the rigid coding level integration to a more extensible speech related models.
Voice will enable a whole new world of possibilities.

Though there has been a resurgence and progress in HRM over the last number of decades, there is still a lingering feeling of a miss.

To a great extent HRM has been caught up in PR and Marketing than a genuine thought and consideration pertaining to what the objective effort should be to provide that empathetic balance between the employee and employer.

I guess this applies to all decisions & actions in life.
These are key qualities that are to be found in all successful outcomes.
The applicability of this is critically relevant to all things IT / Digital. Unlike other industries, IT is subjected to a fast pace of change and disruption from constant innovation which keeps popping up from all unexpected quarters of the globe.

A new innovation can completely decimate all existing foundations, practices and know-how. Hence trying to achieve perfection in such a fluid environment is counterproductive.

Also like any other thing in life, we are spoiled for choice even for the simplest needs in life. In IT landscape is full of alternatives like no other. Steering through these alternatives and combinations is a next to impossible tasks complete.
It requires a depth and breadth of knowledge and a steady hand and mind to find the most pragmatic solution to meet the current and the foreseeable future context.
