Join Nigel Ridpath for the second half of a gripping conversation with Vala Afshar and Henry King, authors of Autonomous, as they trace the line between human and machine, and reveal how AI-first strategies can heal the blockages choking modern businesses.

Through vivid metaphors - cars without steering wheels, living organisms and clogged arteries - and hard-won examples from companies deploying hundreds of agents, the trio argue that survival won’t come from small efficiency gains but from bold reimagining. Listeners will hear practical onboarding realities, the moral of identifying waste and why autonomy, connection and mastery will define the fittest organisations in an AI-driven world.

Whether you lead a Fortune 500 boardroom or are a young professional plotting a career, this episode challenges you to rethink work, embrace beginner’s curiosity and prepare for an era where digital labour turns companies into living systems.
