Riassunto

The essential playbook for the future of your business

What To Do When Machines Do Everything is a guidebook to succeeding in the next generation of the digital economy. When systems running on Artificial Intelligence can drive our cars, diagnose medical patients, and manage our finances more effectively than humans it raises profound questions on the future of work and how companies compete. Illustrated with real-world cases, data, and insight, the authors provide clear strategic guidance and actionable steps to help you and your organization move ahead in a world where exponentially developing new technologies are changing how value is created.

Written by a team of business and technology expert practitioners—who also authored Code Halos: How the Digital Lives of People, Things, and Organizations are Changing the Rules of Business—this book provides a clear path to the future of your work.

The first part of the book examines the once in a generation upheaval most every organization will soon face as systems of intelligence go mainstream. The authors argue that contrary to the doom and gloom that surrounds much of IT and business at the moment, we are in fact on the cusp of the biggest wave of opportunity creation since the Industrial Revolution. Next, the authors detail a clear-cut business model to help leaders take part in this coming boom; the AHEAD model outlines five strategic initiatives—Automate, Halos, Enhance, Abundance, and Discovery—that are central to competing in the next phase of global business by driving new levels of efficiency, customer intimacy and innovation.

Business leaders today have two options: be swallowed up by the ongoing technological evolution, or ride the crest of the wave to new profits and better business. This book shows you how to avoid your own extinction event, and will help you;

• Understand the untold full extent of technology's impact on the way we work and live.
• Find out where we're headed, and how soon the future will arrive
• Leverage the new emerging paradigm into a sustainable business advantage
• Adopt a strategic model for winning in the new economy

The digital world is already transforming how we work, live, and shop, how we are governed and entertained, and how we manage our money, health, security, and relationships. Don't let your business—or your career—get left behind. What To Do When Machines Do Everything is your strategic roadmap to a future full of possibility and success. Or peril.

"What To Do When Machines Do Everything is an essential guidebook for business executives aiming to understand the incredible Impact AI is having - and will continue to have - on business processes and customer engagement strategies.
While much of the prior AI literature can ascribed to "the sky is falling" category, What To Do When Machines Do Everything dynamically breaks that mold by offering balanced, insightful and pragmatic advice on how to do AI right.
For business executives who believe AI is the "story of our time", What To Do When Machines Do Everything is a must read."
- Gary Beach, Publisher Emeritus, CIO Magazine
 
"A timely analysis of the strategic implications of the rapid advancements in AI and machine learning (ML) on businesses of all sizes. The book is well-researched with terrific case study examples of companies that are confronting the realities of today's rapidly changing AI/ML environment, and the consequences facing those that aren't. The book also provides useful advice for executives to respond to the AI/ML opportunities and challenges." - Jeffrey M. Kaplan, Founder and Managing Director, THINKStrategies
 

"What to Do When Machines Do Everything accurately addresses the elephant in the room: Artificial intelligence makes certain jobs obsolete. But the authors take an optimistic and pragmatic overview of where AI stands today, how it will impact both individuals and organizations, and more importantly, where we go from here. It uses relatable, real-life examples that show how to leverage new technologies to stay competitive, both traditionally and with new entrants. It's a must-read for those just entering this new world of robots and machine intelligence." - Flavio Villanustre, VP of Infrastructure & Security at HPCC Systems, LexisNexis

"Instead of being threatened by this new world, I found their practical and helpful advice quite optimistic." (Financial Advisor, March 2017)
