New book gives executives a governance framework for scaling AI deployment with accountability instead of guesswork.
Most operators evaluate their output against their own previous work, which is the lowest possible bar.”— J.R. Covey
OneAccord's When2AI Imprint today announced the release of Volume II: Leadership & Oversight, the second book in The Field Guide to the New Economy series by author J.R. Covey. Where Volume I gave individual operators a repeatable framework for producing defensible work with AI, Volume II gives organizational leadership the governance layer above it: the business case, deployment sequencing, and acceptable-use standards needed before AI is scaled across a team.
Most operators, the series argues, are using AI without a system for evaluating whether the output is any good, or who is accountable when it isn't. Volume I addressed that gap at the individual level. Volume II extends the same discipline to the organization, giving executives a structured way to govern AI adoption rather than reacting to it team by team.
"Most operators evaluate their output against their own previous work, which is the lowest possible bar. The question is not whether this is better than the last one you wrote. The question is whether it is better than the best one your competitor is going to send."

About The Field Guide to the New Economy
Volume I (ISBN 979-8-9965952-0-4) and Volume II (ISBN 979-8-9965952-1-1) are published in paperback, 6×9, by the When2AI Imprint. Both volumes are available now on Amazon. Covey is also the creator of the When2AI diagnostic platform, which generates AI deployment use-case reports for businesses based on size, industry, and need.
"J.R. has spent his career helping leaders see the patterns they can't see in themselves. This series takes that same discipline and applies it to the biggest operational blind spot most businesses have right now, which is how they're actually using AI. We're proud to publish it. We are more excited to teach these these lessons in a hands-on two-day workshop this fall."
