Your work has changed — your skills can keep pace. From AI assistants and data spreadsheets to remote teams and digital portfolios, the expectations for every professional have shifted overnight.

No jargon, no overload — just the skills you will actually use, one practice at a time.

The organisations that win are not the biggest or the fastest. They are the ones that learn faster than their environment changes.

过去二十年，企业拼命抢流量、拼体验。结果呢？毛利率没涨，人更累了。这本书讲一件事：流量时代结束了，秩序时代开始了。你不需要更多数据——你需要一个让数据“自己说话”的系统。秩序经济，是用数字化构建的清晰感、确定感、掌控感。不是理论，是参数。

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.

The dominant narrative still treats Al as a new software category - something to procure from a vendor, deploy in a department, measure ROI on, and slot into existing systems. This view has produced thousands of pilots, hundreds of case studies and research papers, and surprisingly modest impact on actual organisational performance. That is not a technology problem. It is an organizational one.

Most enterprise AI programs do not fail because the model is weak. They fail because the organization cannot operate AI: costs are hidden, ownership is vague, governance is late, vendors create dependency, and production risk is not clearly assigned. This book helps leaders fix the system around the model.

"The AI confirmed X for me" used as proof of X. Outputs that sound brilliant but don't hold up to a severe re-reading. A three-page "AI policy" that nobody reads. Sound familiar? Thinking with LLMs, the Right Way is the system of critical thinking applied to LLMs: the Thinking-With Triangle (Intent / Adversary / Editor), the four meta-decisions of governance, the Socratic and adversarial practices for investigating and verifying. Not prompt engineering: the method for not letting yourself be mirrored.

LLMs and agentic AI are currently generating a great deal of hype. When applied correctly, they can deliver tremendous benefits. This book outlines the challenges involved in implementing these technologies within large enterprises—particularly in regulated environments. It serves as an accessible introduction for IT-focused executives and enterprise architects, while also proving useful for IT professionals in general who wish to explore the subject and avoid common project pitfalls.
