by Dena Neek, Co-Founder & CEO of Ex.Brain
A blueprint for leaders transitioning from AI-zero to AI-native. This book shows executives how to design workflows, capture knowledge, and structure organizations where AI compounds value over time.
“The real advantage isn't in adding more tools - it's in building organizations where knowledge outlives people, systems absorb change, and AI compounds results through growth, succession, and exit.”
Dena NeekCo-Founder & CEO, Ex.Brain
“Most leaders bolt AI onto broken systems and wonder why nothing changes. Dena Neek shows why becoming AI-native requires redesigning your business from the ground up - and gives you the step-by-step framework to do it before your competitors figure it out.”
Nir EyalBestselling author of Hooked and Indistractable“The difference between companies that thrive and those that stall comes down to one thing: systems. AI brings this truth into sharper focus. Dena Neek gives leaders a framework to turn AI into a source of compounding advantage. Her insights are not theory - they're grounded in the realities of scaling businesses in disruption.”
David CohenCo-Founder & CEO, Techstars“Too many AI pilots stay trapped, disconnected from the systems that actually run a business. Dena Neek provides a way out of that trap. She ties AI directly to operations, governance, and adoption - showing leaders how to design around real friction points. For leaders ready to move past the hype, this book is essential.”

It's a practice - and Dena and Cyrus Neek embody it. What sets Dena apart is a rare mix of technical depth, systems thinking, and clarity. This book is the guide leaders need to step into the AI-native era with confidence.”
