Humanities Applied
El valor de pensar distinto
At a time of profound transformation in the world of work, the humanities are reemerging as an ethical, creative, and strategic compass.
We are facing a paradigm shift that requires more than just new technologies or management frameworks: it requires judgment, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.
Sharing knowledge becomes key to building a more conscious, sustainable, and meaningful future for work.
For this reason, we are launching this series of dialogues and meetings together with Pompeu Fabra University, with the participation of multidisciplinary experts and academics, to create an unusual meeting space between the business world, academia, and the humanities.
This series of three face-to-face meetings proposes a lively dialogue between humanistic thought and professional practice, connecting two fields that rarely converse, but which today are needed more than ever.
What happens when talent is no longer defined solely by what we know how to do, but by how we think, interpret, and make sense of complexity? This meeting offers a space for reflection on the value of the humanities in the development of talent and organizational culture.
An invitation to rethink the role of humanistic thinking in the contemporary professional world, beyond traditional techniques and skills.
Format: Round table + networking
Location: Ciutadella Campus (UPF) / Multipurpose Room in the Mercè Rodoreda Building
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

¿Es posible automatizar decisiones sin deshumanizarnos? En una era de abundancia material impulsada por la inteligencia artificial, el riesgo es existencial antes que económico.
En esta sesión exploraremos como el humanismo guía una integración responsable de la tecnología.
Se debate la necesidad de mantener la responsabilidad humana frente al algoritmo, aplicar una creatividad ética y preservar la decencia frente a la eficiencia.
Y se reflexiona sobre el impacto de la transformación digital en el empleo y sobre cómo el desarrollo del talento humano impulsa la adaptación y el progreso en las organizaciones.
Designing digital products involves making decisions that go far beyond technology, data, or product frameworks. This meeting proposes a reflection on how cultural context, human understanding, and judgment influence the decisions made throughout the entire life cycle of a digital product.
An open conversation about how digital products are conceived, researched, designed, and distributed when perspectives from the humanities are incorporated, and what happens when these perspectives are left out of the process.
