The intellectual record behind the center.

For a young center, the ideas are the credential. This is the published work — books, research, and keynotes — that CCAIE's methods are built on.

Keynote · 2026

The Symbiotic Age: AGI, ASI, and the Bottleneck Inversion

Delivered at TAKE 2026, Lisbon (July 2026). The argument: as intelligence becomes abundant, the scarce resource becomes verification — and the organisations that win the next decade will be those that can prove what their systems produce, not those with the most capable models. The thesis behind the Octopus Protocol.

Forthcoming book

The Octopus Protocol: The Architecture of the Symbiotic Age

The book-length development of the governance framework: how organisations should structure multi-agent AI systems so that accountability, provenance, and human judgement survive automation. The framework's working principles are published now as a CCAIE Foundation document.

Book · Palgrave Macmillan, 2019

Knowledge-Based Social Entrepreneurship

How knowledge management and innovation systems apply to entrepreneurship with social purpose — the research foundation for CCAIE's hybrid foundation-and-services model.

Chapter · IntechOpen

Cognitive Industry 4.0 Reimagined

Human-Centered Intelligence and Organizational Resilience in Post-Industrial Systems. Proposes co-adaptive intelligence — real-time mutual learning between people and machines — as the mechanism by which organisational resilience emerges. The scholarly foundation of the governance work CCAIE publishes.

Earlier research includes work with Elias G. Carayannis on tacit knowledge and organisational competitiveness (Journal of Intelligence Studies in Business, 2013).

Published case study

The ideas, tested in the field

The research above is not theory held at a distance. This is what happened when it was applied to thirty executives of an industrial holding over ten days.

Thirty leaders. Ten days. Five investable pilots — and one finding nobody expected.

An applied AI programme delivered in August 2026 at an industrial holding. Five pilots reached investment-decision quality and 160 hours of recoverable monthly effort were identified — alongside a finding we published rather than buried: not one team had measured its own process baseline, which is why every payback figure in the portfolio is an illustration rather than a result.

  • Format 20 sessions · 10 working days · 10 modules · 5 cross-functional teams
  • Output A 67-page portfolio: process economics, risk matrices, safe-use rules, 90-day roadmaps
  • The finding The constraint on industrial AI adoption is organisational infrastructure, not knowledge — and it is diagnosable in ten days

Client anonymised. Peer-company comparison figures are as published by the companies concerned and are not independently audited.
