Synopsis

From technologist and strategist Brian Evergreen, a bold new agenda for how we can create a better future with technology.

We are in the midst of an unprecedented degree of technology-driven change at the same time that society faces challenges more complex than our organizations and we as individuals have been prepared to handle.

We have all borne witness to the changes, for better and for worse, that technology has had on society, our nations, cities, the nature of work, and the human experience—but technology is neither the hero nor the villain of this story.

Autonomous Transformation: Creating a More Human Future in the Era of Artificial Intelligence is for those who want to create a better future within this context of change and supplies a balance of historical and theoretical context with practical frameworks for beginning to solve for the future today.

Autonomous Transformation provides a blueprint for leaders and managers who have aspired or attempted to harness the potential of artificial intelligence and its adjacent technologies to create value for their organization and the world, weaving strategy, management thinking, economics, systemic design, and philosophy into actionable steps with accompanying frameworks.

Praise for AUTONOMOUS TRANSFORMATION

“Autonomous Transformation comes at a key time in the evolution of AI and paints a compelling vision for how organizations and work itself will be transformed, along with a balance of theoretical context and practical approaches to guide the journey ahead. Autonomous Transformation is important reading for leaders everywhere interested in understanding our human plus machine future.”
―Paul Daugherty, Group Chief Executive ― Technology, and CTO, Accenture

“A thoughtful look at the urgent question of our time: How to bring humanity to work.”
―Seth Godin, author of The Song of Significance: A New Manifesto for Teams

“For decades blockbuster movies fueled a plot where a hero reigns in technology that has run amuck. Terminator, The Matrix and Pixar’s Wall-E feature humans fighting a technological monster to save the world. Evergreen is a clarion voice needed in society to point to a brighter future for machines and humans.”
―Nancy Duarte, author of Datastory: Explain Data and Inspire Action Through Story

“Autonomous Transformation offers a thoughtful, inspiring, and actionable vision for how to create a more human future. Brian Evergreen seamlessly weaves together frameworks and stories to map out a compelling and clear guide for anyone looking to drive purposeful change in the midst of massive technological advances.”
―Liz Fosslien, co-author of No Hard Feelings: The Secret Power of Embracing Emotions at Work

“In an age of anxiety about AI, Evergreen asks the big questions about the changes we need to make to our political, economic, and management systems to ensure that this new technology does not rob us of our humanity. Whether you want to radically rethink capitalism or uphold it, this is a must-read!”
―Kim Scott, author of Radical Candor and Just Work

“Brian Evergreen’s Autonomous Transformation offers an engaging and thought-provoking treatise for anyone who ponders our future with artificial intelligence. Evergreen argues that AI is a powerful tool but only if employed in ways that uplift and empower one and all. He goes further by providing useful guides for how to adopt AI intentionally such that it is ethical, responsible, and in service of humanity.”
―Gurdeep Pall, Corporate Vice President, Head of Product Incubations, Microsoft
