"Shrewd corporate executives are realigning their organizations to harness the burgeoning power of cyberintelligence. However, Josh Sullivan and Angela Zutavern take us a step beyond by introducing The Mathematical Corporation. Leaders of mathematical corporations combine data analytics with the mathematical intelligence of machines and their own creativity to enhance the quality of current and future decisions. A must read for leaders striving to stay contemporary in a rapidly evolving world."―Larry Bossidy, retired chairman and CEO of Honeywell, co-author of Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done and Confronting Reality "In this interesting and accessible book, Sullivan and Zutavern challenge us to reconsider assumptions about machines'taking over,' relegating the human factor to a bygone era.

Where you once thought there was nothing, there is a universe of action -- both present and future.

I heard about The Mathematical Corporation: Where Machine Intelligence and Human ... by Josh Sullivan and Angela Zutavern through a tweet by Kirk Bourne. I conduct a course at Oxford University on Data Science for IoT. I have also recently launched a course on AI for fintech. The Mathematical Corporation covers many issues that I have encountered in my teaching and consulting. In essence, Mathematical Corporation calls for new leadership traits in the world of AI.
