by Brian Solis

Infinite: How Visionary Leaders Transform Today’s Businesses into AI-Forward Companies, written by two senior ServiceNow leaders, introduces the concept of the "Infinite Company"―a new class of organization built with artificial intelligence at its core. Rather than treating AI as an add-on, this book provides a strategic blueprint for seamlessly integrating human talent and AI to achieve greater innovation, productivity, and scale.

Infinite guides readers through the evolution from traditional digital transformation to AI-driven innovation. It challenges conventional business models, exploring how AI-native companies are disrupting legacy organizations and offering strategies for leaders to rethink how they work, measure success, and structure their teams. The book presents a framework for building infinitely adaptable organizations led by AI-native leaders.

Readers will also discover:

  • How to shift from AI-enabled operations to building organizations with artificial intelligence embedded at the structural core
  • Strategies for developing an AI-native leadership mindset that moves beyond traditional digital transformation approaches
  • A framework for creating infinitely adaptable organizations that scale innovation, productivity, and competitive advantage simultaneously
  • Insights into how AI-first companies are disrupting legacy business models and rewriting the rules of competition
  • Practical guidance on rethinking success metrics, team structures, and workflows for an AI-driven operational environment

Infinite is written for business and technology leaders responsible for guiding their organizations through the shift to AI-driven operations. Whether leading enterprise transformation or building new AI-native ventures, this book delivers the strategic framework needed to compete against organizations already rewriting the rules of business.

Mindshift: Transform Leadership, Drive Innovation, and Reshape the Futureby Brian Solis

Mindshift: Transform Leadership, Drive Innovation, and Reshape the Future

by Brian Solis

Rethink Your Mindset to Reshape the Future

Every company needs leaders who can spot and seize on opportunities at a moment’s notice. Every organization needs leaders who can rally teams together around new opportunities. Those who can see important, emerging trends foresee the coming disruption and harness those forces, translate them into actionable insights and motivation to fuel their company’s march into the future rather than ignoring or running or hiding from opportunities.

In Mindshift: Transform Leadership, Drive Innovation, and Reshape the Future, technologist, strategist, keynote speaker, and award-winning author Brian Solis, Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow, draws on his experience of leading initiatives that drive innovation and business transformation to deliver the empowering message that this is the time to change the world for the better. And that change starts with you.

In this book, you’ll discover why legacy leadership continues to miss the mark and fail to adequately account for change and innovation, causing people to miss the winds of opportunity or threats of disruption until it’s too late. Let this inspire, not frustrate you.

Within these pages, you’ll gain access to the tools, insights, and lessons you need to become an unstoppable leader, regardless of your roles. You’ll learn how to: 

  • Adapt for a post-industrial, AI-first world 
  • Find direction in uncertainty 
  • Spot and prioritize emerging trends 
  • Develop, spark, and embrace innovative ideas that create new value 
  • Learn to thrive in this new and shifting future Mindshift explains how you can make the mental shift to see past industrial-era business-as-usual mindsets, to become the visionary and voice for a future that doesn’t yet exist. Embracing a mindshift opens your potential to new possibilities, breaking the shackles of the status quo, and unlocking alternative, more meaningful destinies.

Mindshift is perfect for anyone who knows a better future is possible, and who wants to make an impact, to reshape the modern business landscape, and develop the skills they need to thrive in a perpetual state of uncertainty. Mindshift is a can’t-miss resource for managers, executives, entrepreneurs, and anyone who cares about the future, their destiny, and the role they want to play in shaping tomorrow.

Lifescaleby Brian Solis

Lifescale

by Brian Solis

Somewhere along the way, we got distracted. As much as we multitask, love our devices and feel like we're in control, deep down we know that something is off. Shortened attention spans, declines in critical thinking, lack of sleep, self-doubt and decreased creativity are just some of the effects coming to light in an age of digital distraction.

It's time to reclaim our lives. It's time to take control.

Lifescale is a journey of self-discovery and growth. It's about getting back into balance and remastering our destinies. Author Brian Solis knows first-hand. He struggled with distraction and all of its ill-effects. To get his life back, he developed a set of techniques, exercises, and thought experiments designed to tame the chaos, and positively and productively navigate our day-to-day lives. Instead of falling victim to the never-ending cycle of newsfeeds, Likes, addictive apps, and boredom scrolling (aka the endless scroll), we can learn to manage our time and inspire our own lives in a way that will bring meaning back--without sacrificing the benefits that our devices bring us.

In Lifescale, Brian has done the legwork to pull together scientific findings and practical tools into one book. Readers--especially those who are distracted--will connect with the humor, pathos, and inspiration inside. Using this book's simple but powerful lessons, we can:

  • Identify sources of distraction and turn attention toward creativity and productivity
  • Understand and resist the manipulative techniques that turn us into digital addicts
  • Find meaning and purpose to guide our time in more meaningful ways
  • Visualize future success to successfully dive into deep work and stop procrastinating
  • Break bad habits, establish rituals, and establish routines that help you achieve goals
  • Nurture imagination and learn to express ourselves more artistically
  • Maximize productivity with simple but effective strategies
  • Focus for extended periods and make breaks more restorative
  • Foster a strong sense of purpose in life and identify the steps needed to bring it to life every day
  • Smile more and build self-esteem

With the renewed perspective Lifescale offers, we can finally learn to prioritize what matters, and live our digital and physical lives with intention and true happiness.
