Praise for THE AI-POWERED ENTERPRISE
“AI promises to provide the next ‘turn of the crank’ in business automation. However, purely statistical machine learning alone won’t achieve this on its own.

In this organic view of the enterprise, the subsystems within companies, such as business units and departments, are analogous to the organs and biological systems in an organism. For these departments and functions to operate smoothly, their information needs have to be met. Marketing needs product specifications and features from the enterprise’s engineering and product development functions. Sales requires support collateral and leads from marketing. Finance needs customer and order information from sales. Each of these functions needs reliable information to achieve its objectives.
Let’s take the metaphor further. Why does it matter how effectively information flows in the company? Because the entire economy is a collection of organizations interacting in an ecosystem that follows the same principles that living biological systems follow. Just as in a biological ecosystem, the economy is a collection of entities operating in interdependent networks and competing for resources. In the case of business, those resources include time, money, talent, expertise, and the attention that ultimately comes from customers. Information flows—both within companies and in the broader economy—are at the center of this activity. Our society and its associated value chains, knowledge networks, and information flows are endlessly complex, interrelated, and nuanced, containing layers of systems upon systems at every level of interaction—from the most basic to the most mind-bogglingly complex.
