Our guest this week is David Allison, author, lecturer, ex-Global VP of Marketing, and mastermind behind The Valuegraphics Database, the first global dataset created specifically to help organizations predict and influence behavior using the values we share.

Today he travels the world sharing how human insight around human values is how marketers (and all of us, really) will survive in a world increasingly dominated by machines and automation.
