Why Your Digital Transformation Is Already Obsolete: The Rise Of The Augmented Intelligent Enterprise (Part 1)
Forbes
May 27, 2026
Digital transformation is rapidly becoming a baseline capability rather than a source of competitive advantage. This article introduces the concept of the Augmented Intelligent Enterprise, a new organizational archetype that combines human and artificial intelligence to continuously sense, learn, decide, and adapt. It argues that future market leaders will be distinguished not by access to technology, but by their learning velocity and ability to turn intelligence into action faster than their competitors.

Creativity is the ability to bring something new. It is the ability not the activity of bringing something new. People are born creative but we train them out of it. Invention is a unique or novel device, method, composition, process or discovery. It may also be an improvement upon, or alternate means, of achieving an existing desired result or function. Invention is the activity of bringing something new. Innovation is the process of doing new things. The process of introducing the creative idea or invention to the market.

Let's DO-Automotive Platform for Interoperability
IEEE
March 11, 2021
Developing automotive software applications is one of the most challenging and time-consuming activities in the automotive product development cycle. As of today, classical automotive software applications communicate exclusively using vehicle-specific communication protocols such as Controller Area Network (CAN) and FlexRay communication buses. Automotive applications communicate using transport layer messages that are defined and configured for each vehicle system (car model). This hard-wired design makes out-of-the box integrations between heterogeneous automotive products virtually impossible. It also renders automotive integration projects to digital world (smart devices, cloud, big data, IoT gadgets) hard to develop and maintain. We present in this paper Let's DO, a novel platform for interoperability and data exchange between different noncoherent products, systems and devices

Digital Gate: Automotive Gateway to Automation Platforms
IEEE
March 11, 2021
Technology is evolving aggressively everyday around us in different domains. In addition, IoT is being involved in different fields to facilitate people's daily life routines with the help of trigger-action platforms (such as Zapier, IFTTT, Integromat, etc.). These platforms help end-users create a set of workflows that integrate various devices. On the other hand, the proliferation of sensors mounted on vehicles nowadays produced huge data from cars, yet not fully utilized. Recently vehicles' industry incorporated more technologies to increase connectivity, thus increasing the level of comfort and luxury, This paper explores and presents the Digital Gate system and its advantages. Digital Gate system aims to connect the vehicle's network (including CAN, Flexray, Ethernet, etc.) to cloud computation platforms as well as to the automation platforms and vice versa. Moreover, Digital Gate system provides the capability of creating

Augmented Intelligent Enterprise (AIE): The Successor to the Digital Enterprise

Date : June 12, 2026

The Augmented Intelligent Enterprise (AIE) represents the next evolution of organizational design beyond the Digital Enterprise. Rather than viewing artificial intelligence as a tool layer, the AIE embeds intelligence into every layer of the enterprise including decision-making, operations, workforce models, governance, customer engagement, and innovation systems.

In an Augmented Intelligent Enterprise, human judgment and machine intelligence operate as a unified capability. Organizations shift from process optimization toward continuous adaptation, creating enterprises that can sense, learn, decide, and evolve at unprecedented speed.

The AIE is characterized by intelligent operating models, AI-native workflows, adaptive governance, workforce augmentation, and continuous enterprise learning.
