After 25 years in technology consulting, leading AI transformations at Accenture, Deloitte, and PwC, Carlos Aggio codified what separates organisations that thrive with AI from those that struggle. The difference is not budget or talent. It is how they think about AI. This book is the result: a practical framework for software engineers who want to become significantly more effective with AI as a collaborator.

Book Excerpt

From the Preface

After 25 years in technology consulting, leading AI transformations at Accenture, Deloitte, and PwC, advising C-suites at global enterprises, and delivering over 100 projects that unlocked more than half a billion dollars in value, I have seen what separates organizations that thrive with AI from those that struggle.

The difference is not budget. It is not talent. It is not even the sophistication of the AI tools they use.

The difference is how they think about AI.

Organizations that struggle treat AI as a tool for automating existing processes. They ask: "How can AI do what we are already doing, but faster?"

Organizations that thrive treat AI as a collaborator that changes what is possible. They ask: "What could we accomplish if AI amplified our best people?"

This book is about the second approach, applied to software engineering.
