Foresight: The International Journal of Applied Forecasting, 2021, issue 61, 41-44

Abstract: In a commentary on an article in Foresight, Combining Humans and Machines in an Emerging Form of Enterprise: the Humachine, by Nada Sanders and John Wood, Fordyce offers "a historical perspective on the challenge of creating a humachine. "How to best support decision making with technology has been an ongoing challenge for many decades, producing both successes and failures." He proceeds to cite several examples and concludes that "the challenges to successful integration of technology into organizational processes are best addressed by small, advanced analytics teams" that possess several skills sets to apply to successful humachine tasks.
