Transform your organization with practical AI frameworks, implementation strategies, and real-world insights from James Poulter.


James Poulter
Author & Innovation Expert
AI at Work maps four archetypes of the full stack worker. Take the assessment — 14 questions, about five minutes — to discover which one you lead with and how to orchestrate AI around it.
You see how everything connects.
You build something nobody expected.
You hold the vision and make the call.
You read the room before anyone else.
My view is that the future belongs to the minority of businesses that follow this advice.
Rory Sutherland
Vice Chairman, Ogilvy Group
The hardest thing about working in AI isn’t the technology – it’s convincing people that the ways they work and think have to change with it. James gets that challenge better than almost anyone, and he gives you something rare: a genuinely practical path through it.
Emerson Sklar
Chief Evangelist, Amazon Alexa
Every civilisational shift demands a choice: we can let it happen to us, or we can shape it. AI at Work is a guide for leaders who choose the latter – who see in this moment not just disruption but the possibility of genuine cultural renewal. JP shows us how to build organisations that are more human, not less.
Baroness Philippa Stroud
Executive Chair, Alliance for Responsible Citizenship
This is a really important and timely read. Based on our own research at Edelman we know that, much more than the technology itself, among the most challenging things about AI is societal trust. JP understands that better than almost anyone writing on this subject, and AI at Work gives leaders a practical framework for building it: with their teams, their organisations, and the people they serve.
Nigel Miller
Regional Chief People Officer, Edelman
In today’s fast-changing landscape, you’re either engaged with the future or you’re not. This book helps make sure you’re ready and provides an essential, pragmatic guide for mapping the change your business needs to embrace AI today and in the years to come.
Marshall Manson
CEO, FleishmanHillard UK
Most AI books tell you to move fast, but this one tells you to listen to your gut; that is your ethical intelligence! A sharp, practical guide for leaders who understand that governance isn’t the enemy of innovation – it’s the enabler of it.
Patricia Shaw
CEO & Founder, Beyond Reach
AI can be a force for good but only if we keep technology from eroding our humanity. I love James’ book because while teaching us how to use AI effectively, it never loses sight of the importance of preserving uniquely human attributes like strategic thinking, empathy, and agency.

In AI at Work: How to Build a Full Stack Organisation, James Poulter delivers a bold, practical framework for implementing AI in ways that enhance rather than replace human work.
As fears of agentic obsolescence abound, organisations are struggling to implement AI in ways that enhance rather than replace human work. AI at Work introduces a full-stack approach that balances technological capability with human values, ethics, and practical application. Rather than focusing on technical capabilities or dystopian warnings, it utilises a full-stack approach to harness AI's benefits while preserving what matters most — a firm's people, its values, and its unique organisational identity.
The global AI market is projected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2030, with organisations racing to implement AI solutions. Yet whilst 83% of executives report AI is a top priority, only 23% have a comprehensive implementation strategy. This book fills the critical gap between theoretical AI books and technical implementation guides by offering a practical framework applicable across industries, with equal emphasis on technological capability, ethical considerations, and real-world applications.
Whether you're a CEO looking to transform your company, a manager wanting to implement AI in your team, or an individual contributor seeking to understand AI's role in the future of work, this book provides the insights and tools you need to succeed.
