Machine capability is rising like a tide. This book is the map: a five-rung ladder for staying one step ahead of it, and putting the water to work as the cheapest, most tireless workforce in history — if you own the boats.
Agentized (adj.): equipped with autonomous AI agents across processes and culture so that humans, robots and AI operate as a single, coordinated team — every human one rung ahead of the machines, every machine accountable to a human.
AGENTIZED! explains why AI agents change the economics of work, gives leaders and individuals a shared framework for where machine capability is headed next, and shows exactly how to redesign the work, govern the agents, and keep climbing — with the same discipline the consulting business applies to real companies, real workflows and measurable operating results.
Introduction: The Rising Water — plus five Parts, the water rising one Shock at a time.
Followed by an Epilogue and A Note on Stories and Sources, which discloses exactly which characters are composites and which quotes are real, on the record, from named practitioners.
Technology strategy & enterprise transformation
In March 2003, Jas presented a U.S. defense modernization command with an architecture for goal-driven intelligent agents — a decade before the technology could deliver on the idea. He has spent the years since building the coordination systems it pointed toward, from a sustainable-aviation-fuel supply chain marketplace to automation for financial and professional-services firms.
Revenue, marketing & category strategy
In 2012, Mark publicly predicted machine intelligence would cross into autonomy within a generation — a claim that drew more eye-rolls than agreement at the time. He spent the following decade inside the industry that prediction implied, from AI podcasting to AI infrastructure.
