I wrote "The Slim Elephant" to cut through the deafening noise of AI hype and provide a strategic guide for the most significant technological shift of our lifetime.
For a century, business was a race for scale. That era is ending. The future belongs to the "Slim Elephant"—an organization that wields the power and memory of a giant but possesses the agility to outmaneuver bureaucratic rivals. AI is the great enabler of this new species.
This book is a journey from inspiration to execution. You will discover practical tools like the AI Adoption Index (Chapters 3 & 8) to assess readiness, and the groundbreaking McSomb framework (Mamsys Cognitive Synergy Operating Model Binding)—a blueprint for transforming IT operations through emotionally intelligent AI.
My goal is for you to walk away with three profound convictions:
Human Skills > Tech: Your most valuable asset is the fusion of analytical thinking and domain knowledge.
Culture is Advantage: Success depends on your agility and ability to learn faster than the pace of change.
Ethics Matter: Fairness and accountability will shape our shared future.
AI’s true purpose is to augment our humanity, not erase it. Whether you are a CEO overwhelmed by noise or a project manager launching a pilot, this is your roadmap to building a more intelligent, efficient organization.
Become not just a survivor in the age of AI, but a leader.
