Mark van Sumeren: A Return to Strategic Leadership, Gebunden

Klappentext

A Return to Strategic Leadership: Judgment in the Age of AI follows Bill Ellis, a retired CEO drawn back into his former consulting firm just as artificial intelligence explodes across the business world. Clients are adopting powerful new platforms, competitors are automating whole functions, and the firm he once helped build is losing ground by the week. What begins as a quiet request for guidance quickly turns into a battle for relevance in an industry being reshaped faster than most leaders can comprehend. To confront the threat, Bill helps create VERITY, an AI designed not to replace humans but to augment their judgment. It becomes the centerpiece of a larger reinvention-one that forces the firm to rethink how it works, how it competes, and how it defines value when answers are cheap and insight is rare. Along the way, Bill must navigate partner infighting, a breakaway faction led by Edward Lang, and a market that rewards speed even when it costs organizations their soul. The book blends business urgency with character-driven storytelling, offering a clear look at how organizations can fall behind when they ignore technology-and how they can rise again when they learn to harness it with purpose. At its core, it argues that AI will transform every industry, but only leaders who bring courage and clarity to the table will survive the shift.
