Strategy, Design, and Governance for Human-AI Ecosystems

Creative Transformation of Organizational Ecosystems (2025, De Gruyter) extends and operationalizes the foundational insights of Dynamic Relationality Theory and Co-Creation Paradigm into a comprehensive methodology for designing, governing, and evolving complex organizational ecosystems. It introduces a novel genre of applied systemic inquiry—fieldbook-based theoretical practice—that integrates machinic life-experience ecosystems (MLXEs), co-intelligent architectures, and transformational diagrammatics. Anchored in the generative synthesis of category theory, sheaf theory, and gauge theory, the book constructs a full-stack modeling and intervention platform for organizations navigating the dynamic interplay between molar institutions and molecular experiences.Each chapter features structurally embedded empirical cases that exemplify how to actualize transformation through diagrammatic logic, organizational morphogenesis, and multi-level experiential governance. With its transdisciplinary rigor and hands-on design orientation, this book equips executives, strategists, and analysts with the theoretical tools and methodological blueprints to enact participatory, planetary-scale transformation in the age of human-AI co-intelligence.

The Co-Creation Paradigm (2014, Stanford University Press) shows that: “A fundamental shift is underway that will change how we conceive of value. In an era of increasing interconnectedness, individuals, as opposed to institutions, stand at the center of value creation. To adapt to this tectonic shift, organizations can no longer unilaterally devise products and services. They must engage stakeholders—from customers and employees to suppliers, partners, and citizens at large—as co-creators. [In this book, we] call for enterprises to be mindful of lived experiences, to build engagement platforms and management systems that are designed for creative collaboration, and to develop “win more-win more” strategies that enhance our wealth, welfare, and, well-being. Richly illustrated with examples of co-creation in action, The Co-Creation Paradigm provides a blueprint for the co-creative enterprise, economy, and society, while presenting a conceptual framework that will guide organizations across sectors in adopting this transformational approach. Challenging some of our most deeply held ideas about business and value, this book outlines the future of “business as usual.”” (from the back cover)
