What this episode covers
In this episode of #thePOZcast, Jacob Chase, CEO of The Infant, shares insights on measuring human performance, the limitations of traditional evaluation methods, and how decentralized, data-driven systems can revolutionize talent management. Discover how market principles can be applied to internal organizational assessments and the future role of AI in performance measurement. Jacob believes one of the biggest problems in business isn't financial. It's that we've never truly figured out how to measure people. Jacob Chase is the Founder and CEO of The INFIN. Before launching the company, he spent time on Wall Street, built and exited a multi-million-dollar real estate business, and came away with one big realization: organizations measure every dollar with precision, but often rely on gut instinct when evaluating the people driving the business. Now he's building technology designed to change that. Today we're talking about performance, meritocracy, culture, incentives, and what it really means to unlock human potential.
