What the experts are saying about Hyperadaptive: “I appreciate how [the book] balances ambition with operational discipline, grounded in real case studies, clear stages, and a very human view of the change curve our people are being asked to walk.” —Ed Keisling, SVP, Chief AI Officer, Progress
“We’re all being asked the same question right now: ‘Where do we start, and how do we scale responsibly?’ Hyperadaptive answers that with a concrete path from isolated pilots to AI‑native ways of working. I appreciate how it balances ambition with operational discipline, grounded in real case studies, clear stages, and a very human view of the change curve our people are being asked to walk.”

Review time up 441%, incidents per pull request up 243%: one bank's AI-accelerated code pipeline just moved its bottleneck downstream. "AI-Driven Organizational Value" argues freed-up capacity isn't captured value, and most orgs are measuring the wrong half. buff.ly/KVaM3Pg

Amazon had a thirteen-hour outage this year, reportedly tied to AI-generated code. AI speeds up writing code, but review, testing, and deployment still take the same amount of time. Signals & Levers maps what happens when one part of a system accelerates and the rest doesn't. buff.ly/OKExHsD

Did you know that the fictional case study throughout Signals & Levers takes place in the same universe as The Phoenix Project? Check out this video for the fictional Limitless Enterprise. buff.ly/qDtw4Ah

Limitless Enterprise
Joel Tosi's and my book, Signals & Levers, has a fictional component. We took our combined 60+ years of professional experience plus inspiration from public case studies and turned it into a story that runs through the book. Our fictional company, Limitless Systems, lives in the same universe as The Phoenix Project's Parts Unlimited. So of course I had to create a one-minute ad spot for their product, Limitless Enterprise. My plan was to release it on April Fools...but Tristan Lombard tells me that I don't have to wait. What do you think? Did I nail it? (Please tell me you laughed at least once.)

"The organizations succeeding with AI aren’t the ones with the best technology, although that matters... They’re the ones who see efficiency as a means to meaning, not an end in itself." —Hyperadaptive: Rewiring the Enterprise to Become AI-Native by Melissa M. Reeve
"The organizations succeeding with AI aren’t the ones with the best technology, although that matters. They’re the ones who remember that all technology serves human purposes. They’re the ones who use AI’s analytical power to become more empathetic, not less. They’re the ones who see efficiency as a means to meaning, not an end in itself."
