Nine co-authors. Over a hundred contributors. One book.

The Human-Agent Orchestrator is out today.
We are the last generation to manage only humans. We wrote the playbook for what comes next, and for right now.

I will be honest: this book exists because we got it wrong first. Across hundreds of deployments, we watched organizations — and ourselves — fail at something that looked simple on paper. Not because the technology broke. Because nobody had built the management layer around it. That gap kept us up at night. This book is our answer to it.

Four years of research across 432 organizations, and more failed deployments than we would like to admit. That is what this book is built from.

Marshall Goldsmith wrote the foreword. Andrew Ng called it out. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, a team of nine co-authors and over a hundred contributors built something I believe will genuinely help leaders navigate what is coming.
I could not have done this without them. Today is theirs as much as mine.

If this resonates, share it. The more leaders see it, the more it matters.

Please read it and let me know your views. I look forward to the discussion!

And the worst part is that they always begin with "I'll keep this brief."

I've spent years working on intelligent automation, and I'm convinced that one of its greatest applications is rescuing humanity from unnecessarily long emails.

Of course, there's a slight complication. Now that everyone has access to generative AI, writing a 2,000-word email takes approximately the same effort as writing two sentences.

Which means we're entering a fascinating era where one AI writes the email, another AI summarizes it, and two humans pretend they've communicated.

At some point, perhaps we should just let the AI assistants talk to each other while we go for coffee. ☕😂

Be honest, have you ever used AI to summarize an email that someone probably used AI to write?

The first AI doctor has not arrived. Something more useful has.

Utah has authorized a tightly controlled pilot in which Nolla Health’s AI can assess mild-to-moderate acne and select from pre-approved topical treatments for adults.

The word “controlled” matters.

The system cannot prescribe oral medication or isotretinoin, and it must escalate severe cases, contraindications, pregnancy, or uncertainty. During the first stage, two licensed physicians review every prescription before it reaches a pharmacy. Greater autonomy can come later, but only after meeting safety thresholds and receiving written state approval.

This is the Autonomy Matrix in practice: narrow scope, hard stops, measurable escalation rules, and trust that must be earned gradually.

The wrong question is whether a human touches every decision. The better question is whether the system knows exactly when it must stop and call one.

In medicine, autonomy should never be granted by confidence. It should be earned through evidence.

Which healthcare decisions should remain permanently human?

After years of discussing AI transformation, automation, and the future of work, I have to admit that the idea of spending an afternoon in a field with animals is becoming increasingly attractive.

A cow has never asked me to attend a 7 AM strategy meeting, prepare a 40-slide presentation, or explain why the latest AI model is going to change everything by next Tuesday.

And while AI can now write code, generate videos, and analyze mountains of data, I'm fairly confident a cow still won't ask me to optimize its productivity using a dashboard.

Although I wouldn't put it past a consultant to introduce a subscription-based platform for measuring grass consumption. 😂

At this rate, the next big career trend might be people leaving technology to pursue jobs where the only thing that needs charging is the electric fence.

If you could swap your current job for something completely different, what would you choose?

As an author, I’m not sure whether to be offended or impressed.

AI did not invent academic confidence. It simply gave it perfect grammar, polished citations, and a loading animation.

Before ChatGPT, students had one browser tab, half a textbook, and the confidence to explain 300 pages by midnight. Today, the same deadline panic arrives with footnotes.

Which pre-AI survival skill deserves its own LinkedIn endorsement?
