Hyperadaptive: Rewiring the Enterprise to Become Ai-Native

This isn't another book about AI technology. This is a book about the organizational evolution that AI demands.

Most leaders are paralyzed without a human blueprint for AI transformation. Isolated successes don't scale because they collide with company culture, roles, and resistance to change. Without a plan for people, the path from promising experiments to AI-native future remains frustratingly unclear.

AI integration expert Melissa Reeve provides the missing blueprint. Drawing from four decades of organizational research reimagined for the AI era, she reveals how companies like Moderna, Nike, and Toyota evolved from running AI projects to becoming Hyperadaptive Organizations that sense, respond, and evolve at AI speed.

This book delivers the five-stage progression from AI foundation to organizational orchestration with concrete actions for each phase, explains why 80% of AI initiatives fail and how to avoid predictable pitfalls, guides you through the "messy middle" where old structures collide with new capabilities, provides practical frameworks for restructuring roles, governance, and resources as AI reshapes work, and shares real-world case studies of organizations that successfully rewired themselves for AI.

Whether you're a senior executive setting strategic vision, division leader implementing solutions, or change champion driving adoption, this book addresses your specific challenges. It doesn't promise overnight transformation but provides honest guidance, proven patterns, and hard-won insights needed to evolve your organization incrementally but inevitably toward Hyperadaptivity

About the Author
Melissa Reeve brings a unique interdisciplinary perspective shaped by over three decades at the intersection of executive leadership, organizational transformation, and process excellence. Her foundation in the Lean mindset began at Waseda University in Tokyo, where she studied the Toyota Production System and witnessed Hino Motor Company's Andon cords in action. This early exposure to process excellence informed her pioneering work with Agile marketing from 2011.

As the first VP of Marketing at Scaled Agile and thought leader in the SAFe in Marketing space, Melissa immersed herself in systems thinking, Total Quality Management, DevOps, and Lean principles. She went on to co-found the Agile Marketing Alliance, where she built a community of Agile marketing practitioners and gained firsthand insight into the challenges of organizational change.

Recognizing the enormous impact of AI with ChatGPT's introduction in November 2022, Melissa dedicated herself to researching AI's organizational impacts. Hyperadaptive represents the culmination of this work, offering a synthesis of process excellence, organizational evolution, and the human side of AI integration that provides leaders with a practical pathway to becoming AI-native enterprises.
