The book, which features a foreword by former GE CEO Jeff Immelt, addresses the gap between rapid AI advancement and the slower evolution of enterprise management systems. Zagorin argues that organizations must stop focusing solely on automating legacy processes and instead use AI to model constraints and reverse-engineer outcomes. By analyzing interviews with Global 2000 executives, the text explores how to balance conflicting priorities, such as supply chain resilience and supplier consolidation, using predictive systems to identify optimal paths.

Immelt emphasizes that the transition is not about replacing human labor but empowering teams to outperform competitors through enhanced data utilization. The release coincides with Arkestro’s expansion in the EMEA region and precedes the company’s Optimal conference in Houston, scheduled for October 13–15, 2026. The book will be available for general purchase on October 5, 2026.
