Human Wise

Ep2: The Competitive Advantage Of Business Culture with Dan Strode

December 13, 2023 Helen Wada

Welcome to Human Wise, the podcast that explores the commercial advantage of being human at work. 


With host Helen Wada, executive coach and founder of The Human Advantage, each episode will explore what being human at work looks like across a wide range of industries, from people in senior management to those on the ground.


This week, Helen is joined by Dan Strode, Group Director of Culture and Strategy, Global Human Resources, for Santander Madrid. Dan is also author of The Culture Advantage, which explores how we can empower people to drive innovation.


They discuss breaking the cookie cutter mould, making the most of opportunity, what ice cream can teach us about failure, and living to 100!


With increasingly concerning conversations around the impact of AI, what is the competitive advantage humans have over such technologies? And what is the virtuous circle that begins when we recognise this human advantage?
