Incumbents, Challengers, and the Rise of the Recursive Enterprise

A changing landscape. A business that still has to run.
Technology changes quickly. Enterprises have to respond while keeping the current business running. This book explores that challenge through ten AI battlegrounds and the Recursive Enterprise framework.
Ten live AI battlegrounds where established incumbents meet hungry challengers, each mapped to the seven-layer AI stack, and the management discipline for deciding what your enterprise should keep, change or rebuild.

From the preface
I wrote this book for the leaders of established software and technology companies, and for anyone responsible for moving an enterprise whose current business still works while the ground underneath it shifts. If your quarter looks great and something still feels wrong, this book is for you.
It isn't a technology manual. It's about the harder problem technology exposes: how an enterprise reads change, chooses a position, moves resources and learns fast enough to stay viable.
A management discipline to execute across these AI battlegrounds.
Cases connect recognizable companies with questions leaders can use with their own teams. The companion framework explores how enterprises sense change, make choices and follow through.
