Summary
The essential playbook for the future of your business.
What to Do When Machines Do Everything is a guidebook to succeeding in the next generation of the digital economy. When systems running on artificial intelligence can drive our cars, diagnose medical patients, and manage our finances more effectively than humans, it raises profound questions on the future of work and how companies compete. Illustrated with real-world cases, data, and insight, the authors provide clear strategic guidance and actionable steps to help you and your organization move ahead in a world where exponentially developing new technologies are changing how value is created.
Written by a team of business and technology expert practitioners - who also authored Code Halos: How the Digital Lives of People, Things, and Organizations are Changing the Rules of Business - this book provides a clear path to the future of your work.
The first part of the book examines the once in a generation upheaval most every organization will soon face as systems of intelligence go mainstream. The authors argue that contrary to the doom and gloom that surrounds much of IT and business at the moment, we are in fact on the cusp of the biggest wave of opportunity creation since the Industrial Revolution. Next, the authors detail a clear-cut business model to help leaders take part in this coming boom. The AHEAD model outlines five strategic initiatives - Automate, Halos, Enhance, Abundance, and Discovery - that are central to competing in the next phase of global business by driving new levels of efficiency, customer intimacy and innovation.
Business leaders today have two options: be swallowed up by the ongoing technological evolution, or ride the crest of the wave to new profits and better business. This book shows you how to avoid your own extinction event, and will help you:
- Understand the untold full extent of technology's impact on the way we work and live
- Find out where we're headed, and how soon the future will arrive
- Leverage the new emerging paradigm into a sustainable business advantage
- Adopt a strategic model for winning in the new economy
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

A bunch of good ideas diluted in an annoying book
As mentioned, the book has a bunch of good ideas but really that's about it. They could have been stated and explained in 5 pages. The authors rarely bother with factual data to back their claims (apart from a bunch of companies used as anecdotal evidence and reiterated obsessively throughout), which is shocking for a book insisting so much on the value of data. The same ideas get repeated unnecessarily throughout the book. Also, I'm annoyed by the choice of target audience of this book. This book is really only written for high level managers of big corporations. That's it. Everyone else is collateral damage in the forecasted AI revolution. Even as a software engineer in one of the companies the book praises, I find myself very limited in what I can apply from this book. I recognize the ideas in it and I'm happy to see they're being applied, but realistically there's little I can do to apply these myself. If you're working for McDonald's and want to know what you can do, this book basically tells you that you'll get fired, but maybe if you don't fight the new technologies you don't. That's really the only takeaway from this. this This is fine, but at least make it obvious in the title that it's only for CEOs. For people that don't have the antrepreneur obsession, this book is completely useless.

A profound wakeup call
I have been reading (or listening to) a number of books to find my way around the rising digital landscape to work out what skillset should I work on for a 3 year horizon.
The obvious takeaway from this book is AI, but I had not thought threw is how impactful AI might become.
The book gives a framework to think about how AI will impact and what you can do on 'Monday morning' to start adapting now - I.e. It is quiet practical.
The tone is for corporate leaders, but I got a lot from it as an individual.

Mocking Dystopia
Ok, maybe not completely mocking the dystopian view of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, but the authors do a solid job of presenting an alternative view of the doom mongering that often surrounds AI and our future. Sure, there are reasons to be concerned, but drawing on examples from industrialisation and automation that has been occurring across sectors for decades, the authors do a credible job of outlining how AI can lead to more jobs and better, more interesting work. We can choose whether we believe the predictions and there are credible arguments on both sides of the debate, but this book presents a strong argument for optimism.

A great book
This is the most pragmatic and less frightful way of looking at how digital can be incorporated into our lives and companies. Loved every page
