About The Augmented Manager Newsletter
Hi, I’m Zoltán Tanács, a partner at a management consulting company with over 300 million EUR in revenue. I bring 25+ years of experience across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, tackling diverse topics ranging from strategy and organizational development to digital transformation, AI, and cybersecurity.
You can find me on LinkedIn, too.
There are countless newsletters out there, many offering insights into AI and tech from various perspectives. I enjoy reading several of them. But I couldn’t find one written specifically for CEOs, senior and middle managers, CIOs, CDOs, and their peers—the kind of newsletter I would want to read myself. So, I decided to create it.
I hope this will become the must-have newsletter for managers, entrepreneurs, consultants, and anyone eager to not only survive but thrive in the Age of AI, tech, and global challenges. It’s highly relevant for professionals at all levels in large corporations, as well as for consultants and solo entrepreneurs alike.
I’ve been fascinated by the future and human innovation since I was a child. Growing up, I devoured the works of Jules Verne, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke. Technology, robots, and AI have always captivated me with their endless facets and complexities, often leaving me deep in thought. Yet, I still haven’t decided whether I’m a techno-optimist or an AI-doomer…
Help me pick a side by subscribing to the newsletter and sharing your comments and opinions!
What to expect
Global AI and Tech news explained with exclusive insights. What is happening in business, tech, and AI, and why? How is the market changing? How does it affect your work, and how can you respond to the upcoming changes? I collect the most interesting developments and news together, helping you understand them while offering actionable insights for a proper response strategy.
Best practices and use cases to help you think out of the box. We are all living in our own “boxes,” and it’s hard to think outside of them. I make it easier for you by bringing fascinating examples of how others approach challenges, innovate, and break through limitations, inspiring new ways of thinking.
Actionable advice for managers, experts, and consultants. Topics covered are relevant to those working at large companies, startups, or as consultants. You'll get tools and insights to become a more efficient leader, whether you’re managing teams or overseeing complex projects. If you use just one method, tool or approach from the newsletter to make your project, team, or company more efficient, the weekly subscription already pays for itself.
Productivity improvement tools. Discover the latest AI-driven tools and tech solutions that can significantly improve your productivity—whether at the workplace or home. I curate the best options to streamline your work processes, boost efficiency, and keep you ahead in the tech-driven world.
Personal development tips. Business and work are not everything. We also have a life. In fact, we only have one. I find it important to balance work with personal growth, and I share ideas that enhance your mental well-being, personal skills, and happiness outside of the professional environment.
Cultural outlook. From film recommendations to book reviews, I offer fresh cultural insights that broaden your perspective on tech and global challenges. I highlight thought-provoking content from around the world that resonates with the broader themes of technology, leadership, and the future.
A little bit of humor and irony. Business and tech can be intense—sometimes it feels like the fate of the world depends on that one missed email or the next AI model. But let's be real, no one ever changed the world by sending an email at 3 AM. I believe it's important to sprinkle in some humor and a touch of irony. Because if we can’t laugh about the future, who will?
An independent viewpoint. I provide a fully independent perspective on the topics I cover, disclosing any affiliations or sponsorships with companies or products mentioned in the newsletter. Even in such cases, I express my own unbiased opinions, ensuring you receive honest, critical insights.
