The Intelligence Multiplier
Strategy has never mattered more, and never felt harder to get right. If you’re responsible for the direction of your organisation, you already know the feeling: more data, faster-moving markets, and a planning process that was designed for a world that no longer exists. My book gives leaders a practical framework for using AI where it genuinely helps strategy: research, analysis, and option generation—while keeping human judgment where it belongs, in the decisions that matter.
A brilliant framework for strategy in the age of AI.
It will be a game-changer for everyone from the solo founder to the CEO..

The modern business landscape is defined by extraordinary volatility and uncertainty. AI is at the heart of this turbulence and it's upending all the traditional, linear assumptions of strategic planning. It's time for a new approach. George Walkley argues that by treating AI as a collaborative thinking partner—not a replacement for thinking—we can make better decisions, navigate this new world and make the most of AI at the same time. This is a brilliant framework for strategy in the age of AI.
Wise, practical and refreshingly free of hype. This is the AI book to recommend to colleagues, because it respects their judgement rather than promising to replace it.
Any leader responsible for strategy should read this book. Walkley shows how to bring AI in as an indispensable member of your strategy team. Capable, fast, and fallible while keeping the decisions that matter firmly in human hands. The result is a practical guide to making strategy the continuous, dynamic discipline today's world demands.
A smart, practical and timely book. George Walkley cuts through the noise around AI and shows what really matters. Not replacing human judgement but strengthening it. For any leader trying to think more clearly in a faster, more uncertain world, this is a very valuable read.
Reading The Intelligence Multiplier was a powerful reminder that strategy is fundamentally about difficult trade-offs, and such decisions, despite promises of AI making life easier for executives, remain essentially human. The book shows how AI can accelerate work across the strategy stack, but implementation still requires leaders to inspire change. Strategy and strategic thinking are becoming harder in a world filled with noise and hype, but Walkley has created an excellent and practical guide for how to blend the best of human and machine capabilities to make wiser long-term choices.
In a world of AI noise, George offers a practical, well-thought out approach to the reality of integrating such a fast moving technology. I really enjoyed the book, and am confident it will be a game-changer for everyone from the solo founder to the CEO.
