Book Synopsis

Artificial intelligence is not just another technology to adopt or another process-improvement tool; it is a force reshaping how organizations operate. The Super Enterprise starts from this premise: competitive advantage lies not in algorithms themselves, but in an organization's ability to redesign itself around them. Strategy, data, culture, talent, and ethics are interconnected dimensions of this transformation, requiring managerial judgment even before technical expertise. Drawing on decades of experience in business transformation, Marc Herlant offers a practical framework to move beyond isolated pilot projects and leverage AI to build faster, flatter, and more adaptive organizations. He explores AI's impact on human resources, organizational design, and leadership, proving that automation only creates superior value when guided by human judgment. Combining actionable frameworks, strategic trade-off's and international cases, The Super Enterprise provides leaders with a roadmap to redefine the enterprise. The ultimate challenge is not to acquire more technology, but to build a new architecture of people, responsibility, and hybrid intelligence.
