🧠 R&D Revolution: People Over Technology
The biggest shift in R&D isn't about AI or gadgets - it's about investing in people development.

Key insights:
- We're still in early stages of understanding how human brains work
- People development should be treated as primary R&D investment

The future belongs to organizations that see people as their greatest research and development opportunity.
