The quality of human life is a factor of all the decisions we make. According to Partners in Leadership, the results we get (positive, negative, good, or bad) are a result of our actions, our actions are a result of the beliefs we hold, and the beliefs we hold are a result of our experiences. This is represented as a results pyramid as follows:
At the core of the results pyramid theory is the fact that it is certain that we cannot achieve better or different results with the same actions. Take an example of an organization that is unable to meets its goals and has diverted from its vision for a few quarters. This is a result of certain actions that the management and employees are taking. If the team continues to have same beliefs, which translate to similar actions, the company cannot see noticeable changes in its outcomes. In order to achieve the set goals, there needs to be a fundamental change in day-to-day actions for the team, which is only possible with a new set of beliefs. This means a cultural overhaul for the organization.
Similarly, at the core of computing evolution, man-made machines cannot evolve to be more effective and useful with the same outcomes (actions), models (beliefs), and data (experiences) that we have access to traditionally. We can evolve for the better if human intelligence and machine power start complementing each other.
