The event, entitled \u2018Future of Engineering\u2019, was part of EEUM&#8217;s 50th anniversary celebrations and brought to the debate increasingly central issues: innovation with conscience, technology with purpose, and humanisation in engineering.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>Among the guests at the round table was Frederico Magalh\u00e3es, President of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisqualwfm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SISQUAL\u00ae WFM<\/a>, who shared his vision of the challenges and responsibilities of modern engineering. The conversation, moderated by Fernando de Almeida Santos, President of the Portuguese Association of Engineers, also included a contribution from theologian and professor Jos\u00e9 Rui Teixeira in an atmosphere of interdisciplinary reflection and constructive criticism.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>During the debate, the President of SISQUAL WFM highlighted the ethical challenges of innovation and the social impact of technological solutions in organisations, emphasising the current role of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisqualwfm.com\/what-is-wfm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">workforce management tools<\/a> in operational efficiency and societal implications.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p><em>\u2018The automation of processes is a response to the needs of the labour market, but because a company&#8217;s greatest asset is its people, we are concerned that our tool not only increases productivity but at the same time provides quality of life for those who use it,<\/em>\u2019 he explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-humanisation-is-a-competitive-asset\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Humanisation is a competitive asset<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n<p>During the debate, several audience members asked the speakers about the role of humanisation in technological processes, particularly in the context of the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI). For the President of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisqualwfm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SISQUAL\u00ae WFM<\/a>, technology and humanisation go hand in hand, making it a challenge for companies today to innovate with principles of ethics and human sustainability. With a background in robotics, Frederico Magalh\u00e3es has reiterated this point of view in different contexts, including in a recent interview with the Expresso newspaper podcast <em>\u201cO CEO \u00e9 o Limite\u201d<\/em> (The CEO is the Limit), in which he mentioned that \u2018the leader if he is not human, he cannot win\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>Believing that technology should serve people, SISQUAL WFM develops solutions that put <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisqualwfm.com\/product\/quality-of-life-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">employee well-being<\/a> at the heart of operational management, enabling companies in healthcare, retail, industry, hospitality, and other sectors to optimise resources and promote a genuine balance between productivity and quality of
