The Self-Controlling Enterprise

Continuous Control for Enterprises in the Age of Autonomous AI

Classic enterprise architecture was designed for human-paced processes. AI deployments change continuously, at machine speed, between reviews. The answer to that control gap is not more control of the same kind. It is control that runs at the speed of the systems it governs.

The book

The Self-Controlling Enterprise presents the Control Gradient: three control layers, HITL, HOTL, HOOTL, that extend Classic Enterprise Architecture with continuous, machine-speed control of AI deployments while keeping human authority over every consequential decision. Twelve chapters, 25 diagrams, one argument per chapter. For CTOs, CIOs, Enterprise Architects, and IT leaders.
