Praise for AI at Work

What People Are Saying

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.

Jennifer Powers

Founder & Director, Unplugged Coalition

About the Book

Transform Your Organization with AI

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.

What You'll Learn:

  • Strategic frameworks for AI implementation across departments
  • How to build AI-ready teams and culture
  • Practical tools and technologies for immediate impact
  • Case studies from leading organizations
  • Future-proofing your AI strategy

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.
