“Most AI initiatives fail because organizations aren't built to adapt. Hyperadaptive delivers the missing blueprint for rewiring culture, roles, and decision-making so AI can scale. This is the roadmap leaders need to move beyond isolated experiments and build organizations that evolve at the speed AI demands.” – Jim Ewel, Cofounder, Agile Marketing Alliance, former VP Marketing, Microsoft You can order a copy of Hyperadaptive, by Melissa M.

AI coding tools were supposed to eliminate your software delivery bottleneck. Instead, they just moved it downstream. That's the core argument in Bill Bensing and Damon Edwards's new paper "Beyond the IDE"—and the math backing it up is hard to ignore.

In "The Macro and Micro of Helping Humans Through Rapid AI Advancement," authors Christine Hudson, Melissa M. Reeve, and Brian Scott dig into the human skills that AI can't replace. "The employees most at risk of disengagement during AI transformation are often not the ones whose skills are most replaceable—they’re the ones who have built their professional identity most thoroughly around skills that AI now threatens."

Strategy and budgeting processes define inputs. Agile and DevOps practices manage outputs. What’s missing is the closed loop that connects them—and then connects outputs back to actual outcomes so you can learn whether any of it worked." Read more: itrev.io/3RmHlSu
