Learn ontology engineering from the ground up in Protege, using the classic Pizza.owl tutorial, and see how it connects to a modern framework for building executable semantic systems.

AI governance is moving from principle to practice. This hands-on guide shows you how to build, implement and certify an ISO/IEC 42001 AI management system with confidence. From clause-by-clause guidance to practical templates, integration strategies and real-world scenarios, it turns a complex standard into a clear path from foundation to certification.

Accountability cannot be delegated. Execution can. AI can act at a speed and scale that no person can review one decision at a time. The answer is not ceremonial human oversight. It is to establish who owns the workflow, what authority the system has, which limits are enforced and who can intervene when something goes wrong.Human Accountable for the Loop is a practical framework for doing that.

Most teams don’t suffer from a lack of effort—they suffer from a lack of alignment. Goals are misaligned, boundaries are unclear, and work often centres on internal priorities instead of user needs— resulting in frustration and delays. User Needs Mapping: Aligning Teams Around What Matters offers a practical, visual way to reconnect organisations with the people they serve. Instead of guessing at structure or copying someone else’s model, this book shows you how to expose hidden dependencies, identify genuine user needs, and make better choices about team design and responsibilities. Through real-world case studies and step-by-step guidance, you’ll learn how to navigate tensions between wants, needs, and feasibility, create clarity of purpose, and build teams that deliver meaningful outcomes. Whether you’re a leader, product manager, architect, or change agent, this book equips you to turn complexity into clarity and enable teams to flow faster—aligned around what matters.

Building an impressive AI agent demo is easy. Running one in production—reliably, at scale, with governance—is where most enterprises get stuck. Agentic Orchestration shows how BPMN-based process orchestration governs AI agents at scale, drawing on real deployments across banking, telecom, and healthcare. Reasoning without orchestration is expensive chaos. This book shows the way out.
