The Always-On Enterprise: Why AI Is the Operating System Your Business Is Missing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798257867873)

Every CEO has lived this story. A consulting firm delivers a brilliant strategy. The board nods. Twelve months later, almost none of it has shipped.

The Always-On Enterprise explains why this happens to nearly every company - and what to finally do about it.

Drawing on thirty years inside boardrooms across construction, banking, healthcare, and software, Arup Maity argues that strategy doesn't fail because of bad ideas or weak execution. It fails because the nervous system connecting them was never built.

AI now makes that nervous system possible.

This is the playbook for the mid-market companies that will define the next decade - the ones that stop treating strategy as an annual event and start running it as a living system. Inside you'll find:

• The Three Killers that quietly destroy almost every transformation
• The Five Layers of a Living Strategy - a complete operating model
• The 90-Day Playbook to prove value before committing to scale
• Why Palantir works for Fortune 100 - and what mid-market companies need instead
• The honest cost of becoming an Always-On Enterprise - and what changes for the CEO, the board, and the middle layer

If you have ever watched a strategy die on contact with execution, this book is for you.
