The age of AI is upon us. How can your business use it to grow?

Over the next five years, the gap between companies that integrate AI and those that merely experiment with it will spell the difference between survival and extinction. The companies who are willing to embrace change, fundamentally shift mindsets, and adapt at lightning speed will dominate.

In a world of constant change, resilience is no longer enough. Organizations must evolve beyond endurance to agility—developing the capacity to sense market changes early, respond intelligently to customer needs, and adapt faster than competitors. Agility is not about moving faster; it’s about thinking faster—through decentralized intelligence, AI-augmented decisions, and empowered teams at every level.

This means rethinking the traditional hierarchical model and imagining an organization structured like an octopus. While it has a central brain for strategy and oversight, each arm has its own mini-brain—autonomous, responsive, and deeply aware of its market surroundings. A neural ring coordinates these nodes in real time, allowing the institution to make rapid, informed decisions across its entire system—often faster than the central brain could alone.

This isn’t theory.  Brill has studied organizations already moving in this direction, guided dozens of transformations, and drawn on over a million workforce surveys. What he found is clear: success comes not from simply automating tasks, but from reimagining how organizations function at every level.
