Rewiring Your Organization for AI: Human-First Leadership for the Future of Work

Manage People. Manage AI. Lead the Future.

Every business leader, HR professional, and people manager is now navigating the most dramatic shift in how work gets done in more than a century. You need to lead business operations, people, and AI agents simultaneously while integrating human–AI hybrid teams into daily workflows. You want to build your team’s essential skills more intentionally—and move faster. But you also want to maintain core human values because your people still matter most. Business and AI strategy experts Koreen Pagano and Kristi Broom wrote Rewiring Your Organization for AI for exactly this moment.

In this book, you’ll learn how to:

• Use AI to remove low-leverage work from managers’ plates, freeing them to do more of the essential work only humans can do.
• Build effective operational models around human–AI collaboration.
• Distribute responsibility wisely and create accountability in human–AI teams.
• Manage up, down, and across an AI-driven, human-focused organization.

Don’t wait for inevitable disruptions and tech advances to upend your business plans. Let Pagano and Broom help you rewire your operations—from decision making to governance to skills development—right now.
