Yet only 6% achieve transformational results. The tools are everywhere. The transformation is rare. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy do so many well-funded, well-intentioned AI initiatives fail to deliver on their promise? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eAUGMENT\u003c\/i\u003e, Steven Christensen reveals the uncomfortable truth: the technology isn't the problem. Organizations are deploying powerful AI tools into systems designed for a pre-AI world-and wondering why nothing changes. They're automating tasks when they should be redesigning work. They're measuring adoption when they should be measuring impact. They're asking \"How can we use AI?\" when they should be asking \"How should work be different now that AI exists?\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on the latest research from Microsoft, McKinsey, and the World Economic Forum-plus insights from hundreds of organizations across industries and geographies-this book presents a new framework for AI transformation built on three pillars: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAUGMENTATION over automation\u003c\/b\u003e. The winning organizations don't use AI to replace human work.

Who created this work? Can it be trusted? How do we maintain accountability? Organizations that solve these trust challenges unlock value others never capture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCOLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE\u003c\/b\u003e over individual productivity. The real prize isn't faster individuals-it's smarter teams and more adaptive organizations.
