Book Two in the Pearson AI Signature Series Has Arrived

Announcing today: The second book in my "Pearson AI Signature Series" is "Becoming an AI Orchestrator" by the inimitable Sadie St Lawrence!

You can order your physical copy now from wherever you buy your books and it could be with you as early as this month (right now, on Amazon in the US, it's estimated to arrive on Christmas Eve).

Or, you can access it digitally now, e.g., buy purchasing it on your Kindle or Nook, or accessing via subscription to the O'Reilly platform.

This book is a step-by-step guide for knowledge workers, leaders and creators on how to effectively "orchestrate" the remarkable power of LLMs and autonomous agents as your own personal (or organization-wide!) team.

FOR KNOWLEDGE WORKERS: You’re at the forefront of the AI shift. Whether you’re sorting through data, generating reports or juggling an ever-changing set of tasks, AI can be the ally that helps you work smarter, not harder. Imagine relieving the stress of repetitive tasks, automating where it makes sense, and reclaiming time for the work that truly matters to you.

FOR LEADERS: The rapid pace of change can be daunting, but with the right understanding, you can navigate it with confidence. This book will help you see through the hype, giving you clarity on how AI is reshaping your team’s work and how you can guide them to thrive within this evolving landscape. Whether you’re leading a small team or an entire organization, these insights will prepare you to make decisions that shape a positive future.

FOR CREATORS: You’re the dreamers and doers, the ones with ideas simmering beneath the surface. Now, more than ever, you have tools and resources within reach to bring those dreams to life. AI is here to expand your possibilities, giving you new ways to shape and manifest your vision.

Thanks Debra Williams Cauley, Dayna Isley and many more at Pearson for bringing this series to life. Sinan Ozdemir's hands-on, code-packed book "Building Agentic AI" was the first book released in the series and is available now as well. More books to come in 2026 :)
