The Convergence is upon us, bringing about a profound interconnectedness and interdependence among humanity. This transformative shift is irreversible, leaving no room for choice. Every facet of human existence is rapidly converging at the crossroads of people, businesses, and the environment. The potential outcomes are either a historic integration or a catastrophic collision, and leaders now face two clear options: prioritize profits above all else or embrace a human-centric approach that harnesses this convergence.

Author Deborah Westphal, a visionary in future-focused strategy, draws upon her extensive experience working with some of the world's most innovative business leaders to illustrate how the interests of people, as human beings, seamlessly overlap with those of companies in unprecedented ways. In her book "Convergence," Westphal charts a path forward for leaders, particularly in the business realm, who aspire to shift towards a human-centric mental model. This approach encompasses realities from our converging world that extend beyond a company's core business operations, often integrating a tangible response with a transformative change in the company's core values. Simply put, being human-centric prioritizes the well-being and success of people, redefining the very essence of success for a company.

"Westphal's Convergence serves as a rallying call to action, urging us to shape the future of humanity rather than stand by idly. Her words of wisdom and lessons learned are particularly timely in the present moment, as humanity grapples with crises such as COVID-19, environmental disasters, and the rapid pace of technological change. At a time when our primary purpose in doing business should be to serve humanity, Convergence presents a compelling argument for authentic leadership and challenges us to reevaluate our core objectives." — Diana Rau, Chief Experience Officer & Co-Founder, twine.nyc | Forbes 30 Under 30
