About the book

AI in the Org Chart (Elavant Press, 2026) is a leadership guide to implementing AI without losing human judgment, accountability, and trust. Its argument is that AI is changing who decides inside the organization before the formal organization recognizes that anything has changed. Written for boards, CEOs, general counsels, CHROs, chief risk officers, and functional leaders, it gives them language for the redesign that follows: the Second Map, Voice Rights, the Judgment Trail, and the Human Point of Consequence among them.
