We're living through the greatest productivity paradox in history. AI promises efficiency, yet you work longer hours than ever. You built your business for freedom. Instead, you're drowning—answering emails at midnight, losing deals in follow-up gaps, watching competitors scale while you burn out. The problem isn't effort. It's that your business requires constant presence. The Seven-Agent Army changes that equation permanently. This isn't automation—it's delegation to AI that executes like you would.

"There is no getting around the business of art, according to Arsham, so you might as well master it. 'The game is there,' he writes. 'Either you play it or it plays you.' Wise up, reader." —New York Times Inspiration is for amateurs. I’m a professional artist: I wake up every day and go to...

Since the original publication of Nudge more than a decade ago, the title has entered the vocabulary of businesspeople, policy makers, engaged citizens, and consumers everywhere. The book has given rise to more than 200 "nudge units" in governments around the world and countless groups of behavioral scientists in every part of the economy. It has taught us how to use thoughtful "choice architecture" - a concept the authors invented - to help us make better decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society.

I used ChatGPT every single day for over a year. Then I tested the assumption. It had become a yes-man — and I broke up with it. Gemini lied to me. Not imprecise. Not a hallucination. It fabricated information with full confidence and never flagged uncertainty. If your tool lies to you, it is not a tool. It is a liability. Grok gave me data without depth. Sharp, fast, excellent at pulling real-time intelligence. But raw ingredients without helping me cook. Claude pushed back. It found gaps in my logic. It told me when I was wrong. It made me sharper — not just faster. This is the AI ...

Drawing upon a six-year research project at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, James C. Collins and Jerry I. Porras took eighteen truly exceptional and long-lasting companies and studied each in direct comparison to one of its top competitors. They examined the companies from...

Your dashboards show you the number. Who explains the why? Every BI system built in the last twenty years was designed to answer "what happened." The AI era demands more: systems that investigate causes on their own, explain their answers, and act — without losing the discipline that made classical BI trustworthy. This book builds that bridge, end to end. AI-Native Business Intelligence, Volume 1 is a complete, practice-first course in three parts: PART I — Classical BI, rebuilt properly. Inmon vs. Kimball, dimensional modeling, slowly changing dimensions, ETL/ELT, data quality, MDM, ...

How will AI evolve and what major innovations are on the horizon? What will its impact be on the job market, economy, and society? What is the path toward human-level machine intelligence? What should we be concerned about as artificial intelligence advances? Architects of Intelligence contains a series of in-depth, one-to-one interviews where New York Times best-selling author Martin Ford uncovers the truth behind these questions from some of the brightest minds in the artificial intelligence community.

Over the past four decades, I have worked with large business organizations, navigating large-scale technology transformations, complex outsourcing programs, and rapidly evolving digital ecosystems. During this time, I’ve observed a recurring challenge. While enterprises invest heavily in technology, data, and innovation initiatives, many still struggle to align these efforts with coherent business architecture and design. The arrival of artificial intelligence has intensified this challenge. Decision cycles are accelerating, digital platforms are reshaping value creation, and data is ...

You've been using Cowork for a while. You suspect you could be getting much more from it. You've given Claude tasks, watched it work, and felt that first flash of surprise when it produced something better than you expected. You've also had the frustrations — tasks that went sideways, results that missed the point, the nagging sense that your workflow has a ceiling you can't quite see past. This book is for that moment. Not the beginning, when everything is new. The moment after — when you've settled into a pattern and you're ready for the pattern to get much better. The Claude Cowork ...
