Data Literacy Press Releases McGarry's Guide to AI Leadership
New book introduces CATALOG Framework to help executives bridge gap between AI ambitions and operational reality
Data Literacy Press has published "The Adaptive Organization" by Patrick McGarry, a leadership manual designed to address the widening disconnect between corporate AI strategy and execution. Released in hardcover, paperback, and ebook formats, the book targets executives navigating the operational complexities of artificial intelligence adoption.
The core offering is McGarry's CATALOG Framework, presented as a structured approach for organizations seeking to translate data and AI investments into tangible business outcomes. The framework addresses what the publisher characterizes as a persistent challenge: companies often establish ambitious AI goals while lacking the operational infrastructure to achieve them.
McGarry frames the problem as one of organizational adaptation rather than technology alone. His thesis suggests that successful AI integration requires systemic changes across operations, culture, and decision-making structures—not merely procurement of new tools or hiring of data specialists. The CATALOG Framework breaks this adaptation into discrete, implementable components designed for leaders without deep technical backgrounds.
The book's timing reflects broader industry dynamics. Enterprise organizations have spent substantially on data and AI capabilities over the past three years, yet adoption rates and measurable return on investment remain inconsistent across sectors. McGarry's framework attempts to provide practical scaffolding for executives caught between board-level expectations and technical realities on the ground.
Data Literacy Press, based in Bellevue, Washington, specializes in publishing works that translate complex data and technology topics for business audiences. The publisher positions itself as distinct from trade publishers or academic presses by focusing specifically on organizational competency in data-driven decision-making.
"The Adaptive Organization" is available through standard retail channels in all three formats. The book's release represents an attempt to capture demand among senior leadership and operations teams for frameworks that acknowledge both AI's potential and the significant organizational work required to realize it.
