About the Book

About the Book
The Cybernetic Enterprise: How to Build a Future-Ready Organization is your comprehensive operating system for navigating the next era of business transformation. If your company has adopted Agile and DevOps but still struggles to adapt at scale, fast teams, slow enterprise, this book is for you.
This is not another Agile, DevOps, or AI playbook in isolation. Instead, it introduces a unified cybernetic operating model, one designed for continuous learning, AI-augmented intelligence, and fast feedback loops across strategy, product, technology, and operations. You'll learn to sense, learn, and adapt at enterprise scale.
The book equips you with:
* 961 pages of strategic and tactical guidance
* 154 diagrams to clarify complex concepts
* 16 principles and 55 practices across technology, culture, organization, process, and architecture
* 150 page Body of Knowledge, integrating AI, cybernetics, Lean, DevOps, and more
* Concrete transformation tools: assessment rubrics, roadmaps, metrics, and governance patterns
It offers a layered framework, principles, practices, platform, outcomes, that guides you in building an enterprise designed for change, not just coping with it. Whether you are a CTO, CIO, enterprise architect, transformation coach, or team leader, this book offers the models and tools to break silos, align execution with strategy, and embed AI responsibly.
With forewords by Prof. Dr. Oliver Gilbert and Prof. Markus Dobbelfeld, this book bridges academic insight and industry experience, linking vision with execution across leadership, technology, and organizational design.
Why It’s Different
Most transformation efforts bolt new tools onto outdated structures. The Cybernetic Enterprise rebuilds the structure itself. It helps you design a feedback-driven, AI-augmented organization where learning compounds and change becomes a competitive advantage.
Who It’s For
* Executives aligning strategy, investment, and outcomes
* Architects and engineers scaling AI responsibly through platform thinking
* Product managers, designers, coaches, and change agents seeking coherence across initiatives
