Promoted on 2026-11-07, when the CISR business-models briefing became her second source. The first lists her as a researcher rather than an author, so the author-entity promotion rule was applied to research credit, not only to author: fields.
Concepts she contributes to
- enterprise-ai-adoption: the Enterprise AI Maturity model (with Woerner, Weill and Káganer) and the AI-era business models.
- agent-oversight-and-delegation: the business-models briefing’s split between human in the loop and human at the helm.
Open questions
- Her earlier CISR work on digital partnering and ecosystems is not in the wiki and probably underlies the briefing’s adaptive quadrants, which depend on AI-mediated collaboration between companies.
