Synopsis

In industry after industry, data, analytics, and AI-driven processes are transforming the nature of work. While we often still treat AI as the domain of a specific skill, business function, or sector, we have entered a new era in which AI is challenging the very concept of the firm. AI-centric organizations exhibit a new operating architecture, redefining how they create, capture, share, and deliver value.

Marco Iansiti and Karim R. Lakhani show how reinventing the firm around data, analytics, and AI removes traditional constraints on scale, scope, and learning that have constrained business growth for hundreds of years. From Airbnb to Ant Financial, Microsoft to Amazon, research shows how AI-driven processes are vastly more scalable than traditional processes, drive massive scope increase, enabling companies to straddle industry boundaries, and enable powerful opportunities for learning—to drive ever more accurate, complex, and sophisticated predictions.

When traditional operating constraints are removed, strategy becomes a whole new game, one whose rules and likely outcomes this book will make clear.

Time to review another book on my MBA summer reading list! I studied a bit about IoT during my undergraduate days, so this book on artificial intelligence (AI) sounded very interesting. Competing in the Age of AI is based on one premise: that “AI is becoming the universal engine of execution” and as......more

Goodreads review by Henry on January 26, 2021

While this book is timely, important, and very relevant to a range of processes and occupations facing change as Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes both more common and prevalent; I must caveat this is not an easy read. The language, to include technical terms, are straightforward enough. Where th......more
