Phanish Puranam
Phanish’s research in organization science focuses on how organizations work, and how we can make them work better. His current work focuses on different ways in which intelligent algorithms relate to organizations, in their roles as tools (e.g., machine learning applied to organizational data), team-mates (e.g., human-AI collaboration), and as templates for organizing (e.g. multi-agent orchestration).
Besides publishing his research extensively in peer reviewed journals (see link to Personal Website), Phanish has also written several books. His most recent book “re-Humanize” is written for a general audience and explores what organizations of the future might look like, in the light of rapid changes in technology and culture.
At INSEAD Phanish Puranam founded and co-directs the AI for Business and the Human Capital in the Age of AI programmes for senior executives.
