The central argument
Every economic revolution eliminates one form of scarcity — and creates another.
Industrial Power became abundant.
Information Knowledge became abundant.
Artificial Intelligence Intelligence is becoming abundant.
The next scarcity is organizational capability: the capacity to transform expertise into coordinated, sustained action.
Inside the book
Strategy is not the problem. The operating system is.
Drawing on economics, systems thinking, organizational science, complexity theory, and decades of practical experience, Dr. Mills explains why so many intelligent organizations still struggle to execute.
Capability remains scarce
The difficult work is turning knowledge into coordinated action — repeatedly, reliably, and at organizational scale.
Execution is a system
Performance depends less on brilliant strategies than on the operating systems that transform expertise into coherent action.
Radical Capability™ is the advantage
Organizations that deliberately build their capacity to act will not simply outperform competitors. They will define the next economy.
For leaders building what comes next
A field guide for the age after intelligence scarcity.
For founders, executives, operators, strategists, and institution-builders who know that having the right answer is not the same as being able to act on it.
This is not a book about artificial intelligence. It is a book about what becomes valuable after intelligence becomes abundant.
