Most organizations still run on an operating system built for stability. Plan the year, cascade the plan, report back up. That holds as long as the ground does.

The Cybernetic Enterprise describes what takes its place: an organization that senses what is happening, decides close to the work, and adapts continuously. Feedback loops are the load-bearing structure. AI sits inside those loops instead of being bolted onto the side of the org chart.

This is the main volume of four. *Foundations* collects the bodies of knowledge behind the model, the *Assessment* turns it into a maturity check, and the *CTO Playbook* takes it into the technology organization.

The book site has the companion volumes and the course. The full table of contents is on Leanpub.
