Organisations do not run on activity. They run on decisions.

This book explores how those decisions are made, how they depend on data, and how both can be improved - and, increasingly, automated.

It explains how data is sourced, structured and delivered, how AI systems - especially large language models - actually work, and where their limits lie. It shows not just what these systems can do, but where they fail, and why.

Grounded in practical experience, it offers a framework for using data and AI to build more effective organisations - and to prepare for a future in which many decisions no longer require us at all.
