What if your business could have the intelligence and agility of an octopus?
In AI and the Octopus Organization: Building the Superintelligent Firm, leading futurist Jonathan Brill and innovation expert Stephen Wunker unveil a groundbreaking vision for how organizations must evolve to survive and thrive in the age of artificial intelligence. Drawing inspiration from the octopus, an ancient creature noted for both rapid adaptation and distributed intelligence, the authors show that only businesses that rewire their structure, leadership, and decision-making can unlock AI's full potential.
This is not another book about chatbots or automation. It's a deeply researched, vividly told blueprint for transforming businesses so that they can make the most of AI.

The book describes how AI is already reshaping growth, coordination, and culture, providing an actionable roadmap to what the authors call the Octopus Organization?, one that can navigate the change ahead.
