Jose J. Ruiz, the Monterrey-linked executive-search partner who runs Alder Koten and chairs Anker Bioss, has published a new book aimed at the executives now trying to bolt artificial intelligence onto their operating models without breaking the trust that holds those models together.
AI in the Org Chart: A Leadership Guide to Implementing AI Without Losing Human Judgment, Accountability, and Trust is out on Amazon this week through Elavant Press, the imprint Ruiz uses for his advisory and research writing. It is available in paperback at geni.us/aiintheorgchart.
The argument
The book's central move is what Ruiz calls the Second Map of Work — a way of drawing an organization that traditional org charts do not show. Where does AI first shape an answer. Where does a human first see the output. Where does reliance begin. And where do the consequences reach another person. Four questions, plotted on top of a normal reporting chart, that tell a leader whether accountability still lives where it says it does.
The reason it matters, in Ruiz's telling, is that most large organizations have quietly moved from 'human in the loop' to 'human on the receipt' — a person still signs off, but the AI drafted the recommendation, ranked the candidates, or wrote the customer response. 'Presence is not judgment,' he argues in the book. 'Approval is not authorship.'
Who it's for
The audience is the reader of this brief — the CEO trying to sequence an AI transformation without giving the board a governance headache, the HR leader redesigning workforce strategy in real time, the operations executive whose team just switched on an AI copilot, and the board member who has to sign the risk report even though the technology is moving faster than the risk framework.
Ruiz draws examples from customer experience, talent decisions, operations, corporate governance, and organizational design — the places most large employers in the Monterrey corridor are running their own pilots this year.
Full disclosure
The author is the same Jose Ruiz who publishes EnMonterrey. We are running this as an announcement, not as reported coverage, and the sources column links directly to the book, the publisher, and the author page. Elavant Press books that come out later will get the same treatment, and any reporting on the book — reviews, competing frameworks, critical takes — will appear on their own terms.
