The problem

They found the new AI tools early and learned to use them properly, which most organisations have still not managed. One of them can now carry a piece of work that used to need a team, and they are doing it inside a company that has no idea the capacity is there.

Getting the work done is not the hard part any more. The hard part is everything after it. Those results still have to be checked, understood, priced and explained to people who were not in the room, and none of that got easier. It is now most of the job.

Being that person is not a compliment. It is lonely, nobody else can see it, and it costs both sides. The person decides nobody cares and leaves. The company files a resignation and never joins the two things up.

Evidence first

It leads with the evidence against itself.

Chapter two sets out two large controlled studies showing AI narrowing the gap between strong and weak performers: 5,179 support agents, and 758 consultants at Boston Consulting Group. Both are quoted with their methodology attached rather than explained away.

The chapter then states what would prove the book wrong, and that nobody has run that study yet. A claim nobody can test is not worth making.

What you get

Seven ideas you can take into a meeting.

The Multiplier.Why the same tool levels one team and spreads another, and the single condition that decides which.
Two Halves of Every Job.The part that makes things got much faster. The part that decides things did not move at all.
Nothing to Compare It To.Why a result with no plan and no owner is not losing the comparison. It is absent from it.
Marking Your Own Work.The conflict of interest that governance has no concept of, and what it means for who assesses what.
Waiting.What deferring something by six months actually costs when the tools double every few months.
Two Kinds of No.How to separate a control answer from a refusal wearing the language of one, in a single question.
The Page.What a person should write before they walk into the meeting, and what a leader should ask for when they walk in.

Sixteen roles, described by which hours in the week changed and which did not. Fifteen figures, and a twelve-question diagnostic for your next leadership meeting.

Who it is for

For the people who decide, and the people who build.

Chief executives, CIOs, CTOs, chief data officers, heads of engineering and digital, and anyone who manages people who build things. Equally, for the person who built something and could not get it heard.

No code. No predictions about 2030. Short enough to finish on a single flight.
