Inhaltsangabe

Modern organisations are flooded with data yet strangely blind to what actually happens inside their own value streams. Flow Sentience introduces a new paradigm for organisational intelligence: the ability to continuously listen to operational reality and adapt in real time. Drawing on systems thinking, evolutionary psychology and the emerging possibilities of AI-assisted organisational sensing, the book explores why even highly competent organisations repeatedly become trapped in silos, project logic and delayed feedback. Through the concept of Sentient Value Streams, the authors describe how organisations can regain situational awareness across complex operational landscapes. The book also introduces SentientOps, an emerging operational model that combines human judgement, real-time sensing and AI-assisted analysis to detect friction, learning signals and wellbeing risks as they arise. Rather than replacing human decision-making, sentient systems strengthen it. The result is a practical framework for leadership in an age where complexity grows faster than traditional management structures can handle.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Jan Windahl is an organisational transformation practitioner and systems thinker working at the intersection of leadership, operational flow and emerging AI capabilities. With a background in large-scale organisational change, Lean-Agile transformation and public sector innovation, he has worked extensively with complex organisations seeking to move beyond siloed structures and delayed feedback loops. Jan is one of the originators and copyrightholders of the concepts Flow Sentience, Sentient Value Streams and SentientOps, a framework for building organisations that can continuously sense operational reality, detect friction early and adapt in real time. His work focuses on how human judgement, real-time organisational listening and AI-assisted analysis can together create more responsive, humane and effective systems of work.

Dennis Johansson works with organisational development, operational excellence and value-stream thinking in complex environments. With extensive experience from industry and large organisations, he focuses on how work actually flows across organisational boundaries and how operational systems can be designed to support learning, adaptability and long-term performance. Together with Jan Windahl he co-developed and holds the copyrights to the concepts Sentient Value Streams and SentientOps, an emerging approach to organisational awareness that combines human insight, operational sensing and AI-assisted analysis to help organisations detect friction, learning signals and systemic risks earlier. His work explores how organisations can move beyond static management structures toward more adaptive, flow-oriented and continuously learning ways of operating.
