nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In a world where data learns, adapts, and begins to think for itself, the challenge isn't building faster systems - it's ensuring humans remain at the helm, guiding technology with purpose.Chief Data Officer Sarah Chen and Chief Information & Technology Officer Mark Boyd set out to champion a human-led transformation where technology amplifies human judgment, not replaces it. Together, they built a foundation where decisions could be fast and fair, autonomous and accountable. Faced with internal politics, regulatory scrutiny, and accelerated transformation, they proved the future doesn't belong to the loudest algorithm - it belongs to those who lead it with clarity, courage, and human wisdom.While the companion guide, The AI Enterprise: A Strategic Guide to Building a Human-Led AI-Powered Enterprise, provides the strategic frameworks and technical blueprints, this novel brings those ideas to life. Through realistic scenarios and authentic characters, When Data Thinks shows how human-led AI transformation unfolds in the complex, messy world of modern enterprise.This book bridges the gap between theory and practice by following a fictional organization navigating their human-centered AI journey. Readers witness how human leadership drives strategic frameworks and Organizational Intelligence concepts into practice - including inevitable obstacles, unexpected discoveries, and the human dynamics that shape every major change.Through compelling narrative, the novel reveals how successful transformation requires human leaders to master interconnected challenges no technical manual can fully capture: aligning AI strategy to goals while keeping human values central, making augment-or-transform decisions with human judgment at the forefront, and orchestrating operational and organizational intelligence dimensions - all guided by human insight and ethics.The story shows how human-AI partnerships develop with humans as the senior partners, how governance frameworks evolve through ethical dilemmas resolved by human conscience, and how intelligent architectures come alive through human-driven collaboration. Rather than describing a linear 'happy path' technical implementation, the story reveals how human leaders must adapt roadmaps to unexpected challenges through leadership courage and cultural evolution that keeps humanity at the center.This storytelling approach makes complex concepts accessible and memorable, demonstrating that successful AI transformation is ultimately about human leadership steering technological power toward shared human objectives.Whether you're an executive planning human-led AI transformation, a manager implementing AI capabilities that augment human work, or a team member adapting to AI-augmented roles, When Data Thinks provides the narrative context that transforms technical understanding into practical wisdom for creating truly intelligent organizations where humans lead and AI empowers.…

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
