Reshuffle
Who wins when AI restacks the knowledge economy
AI changes how firms coordinate work and where competitive advantage resides. Reshuffle helps you understand those changes and reconsider your firm's position.
Read the interactive thesis →READ THE SYSTEM
How do changes in the playing field, firm and operating model connect?
Read the system outside-in to examine what a changing playing field requires of the firm. Read it inside-out to examine what a different operating model makes possible.
Work from the changing playing field towards the future firm
Read changes in the playing field, then examine what they require of the firm and its operating model.
- Playing field
Industry logic, customer expectations, relationships and the roles firms can occupy.
- The firm
What the client must become: its identity, boundaries, capabilities and business model.
- Operating model
How activities, decisions, roles and handoffs produce the outcomes the client needs.
Change at one layer does not automatically transform the others. Test each connection against the evidence.
Work from the operating model towards a different role in the playing field
Read changes in the operating model, then examine their implications for the firm and its role in the playing field.

THE CENTRAL ARGUMENT
Why can AI change the structure of an industry?
When firms can coordinate activities in new ways, they gain alternatives to how they organise work. Reshuffle follows the consequences for firm boundaries, scarce capabilities and competitive advantage.
- 01 / COORDINATION
What changes beyond the individual task?
AI systems can help people, teams and firms exchange information and coordinate work. The book examines how those connections make different ways of organising a business possible.
- 02 / VALUE MIGRATION
Where does value move when a capability becomes widely available?
As one capability becomes easier to obtain, another constraint can become more important. The strategic question is which problem customers still need your firm to solve.
- 03 / UNBUNDLING AND REBUNDLING
Which activities stay together, and which are reorganised?
Unbundling separates activities previously held together in a job, firm or value chain. Rebundling combines them in a different arrangement around the constraints that now matter.
- 04 / THE AI-NATIVE COMPANY
How does a firm compete when AI changes its business design?
The book examines firms that build their operating model around AI capabilities. Their choices can change how they serve customers and the basis on which competitors must respond.

Where do the ideas hold in practice?
Industry investigations examine how firms reorganise activities, which dependencies emerge and whether competitive advantage changes. Findings can support, qualify or challenge the explanation.
