This pivotal moment in history is compelling us to change our ways.

The higher leaders rise, the less capable they become.
Pundits trapped into sales cycles tell the rest of us to transcend our limits.
Artificial intelligence can do practically anything — except care about the outcomes.
We are as gods, but nothing works.

These aren't separate challenges—they're facets of the same large-scale historical transformation.

We’re in it, and we might as well get good at it.

I’ve spent my career exploring this transformation.

  • In The Age of Heretics, I described how business learned to rethink its practices.

  • In The AI Dilemma, Juliette Powell and I dissected the hopes and biases of the new technology.

  • In The Wise Advocate, my coauthors and I discovered the neuroscience-based high ground of strategic leadership.

  • In the Fifth Discipline Fieldbook series, my coauthors and I conveyed the essence of organizational learning practice.

  • At New York University, I teach scenario thinking, responsible AI design, and content strategy.

Now I’m ready to help you see and navigate your part in it — and your organization’s potential.

I can help you develop the new habits that AI demands, using the tech to augment your abilities and make better choices. I can work with you and your team to develop your “inner game of AI.” (I am a certified auditor/advisor on the European Union AI Act.)
