Building the AI-Powered Organisation
Paperback Engels 2026 1e druk 9789083766829Samenvatting
AI can make almost every organisation better.
It cannot make every organisation distinctive.
Artificial Intelligence is developing faster than most organisations can absorb it. Leaders are being pushed to move faster, invest more and make increasingly consequential choices, often before they fully understand what those choices may mean for the organisation they are creating.
Moving too slowly carries risk. But so does moving too fast.
Leading Beyond the AI Paradox argues that the real leadership challenge is not simply how to adopt AI. It is how to build an organisation capable of creating lasting advantage as intelligence becomes increasingly distributed between people and machines.
The book moves beyond tools and uses cases to explore what AI means for strategy, organisational capabilities, structure, coordination and leadership. It introduces a new organisational logic built around Smart Capabilities, Value Cells and Intelligent Orchestration, and explores what leadership becomes when intelligence is no longer exclusively human.
At its heart lies a paradox:
The more intelligent technology becomes,
the more valuable human judgement becomes.
This is not a blueprint for the future. It is an invitation to make better choices while the future is still being created.
