Transition Point book cover by Sean Culey

What the book covers

The definitive guide to thriving through AI disruption

We are living through a Transition Point — a moment when the pace of technological change exceeds our ability to adapt incrementally. AI is not just another tool; it is a force that is restructuring the economics of every industry, redefining competitive advantage, and rendering many established business models obsolete.

Transition Point gives business leaders the frameworks, foresight, and practical strategies to understand what is happening, why it matters, and, crucially, what to do about it. This is not a book about technology. It is a book about culture, leadership, strategy, and survival in an age of accelerating change.
