Reckoning to New Dawn
by
Zafar Khan
THE RULES HAVE CHANGED. ARE YOU READY TO PLAY? We are at a crossroads. The systems that powered yesterday's success are cracking under the pressure of unprecedented disruption. In this new era, leaders face a stark choice: get consumed by the chaos or harness it to build something stronger. Reckoning to New Dawn throws you into the heart of this crisis, following four visionary leaders as they navigate the collapse. Through a gripping, simulation-based narrative, this book demolishes the wall between business and technology, translating complex AI concepts into a clear, actionable playbook for victory. Inside, you'll find: • Battle-tested strategies from industry giants like, Walmart, BlackRock, and AstraZeneca. • Practical toolkits and simulation debriefs for turning theory into instinct. • A new framework for building resilient, future-proof organizations. The future won't wait for you to catch up. It demands you lead the way.
"This book is a wake-up call and a roadmap. Zafar Khan shows us how AI, when guided by purpose and courage, can help us lead through crisis and build a better future. It’s a must-read for those who believe leadership is about impact." —Malik Umar, CIO Hitachi Rail Americas & Asia Pacific “This book brilliantly captures the crossroads leaders face today — balancing innovation, responsibility, and resilience. A must-read for anyone shaping technology-driven transformation in a changing world.” —Zahra Merchant, Principle Customer Success Executive, ServiceNow "This book bridges the critical gap between technologists and business leaders, translating complex AI concepts into strategic business imperatives so both teams can speak the same language when making critical decisions. In an era where climate risk and AI deployment are no longer separate challenges but interconnected opportunities, Zafar Khan's integrated approach becomes indispensable." —Tim Agarwala, Senior Technology Strategist, Microsoft
With two decades of global leadership experience, Zafar Khan has distinguished himself as an executive advisor, spearheading multi-million-dollar AI and digital transformations for Fortune 500 companies. This deep expertise, particularly in advising C-suite leaders, directly informs his book, AI Frontiers: Reckoning to New Dawn. In this work, Zafar uses a powerful, simulation-based narrative to explore the critical role of leadership in deploying AI to confront humanity's most existential challenges, such as climate change. The strategic principles he presents are applicable across multiple industries and sectors. Zafar holds a Master of Science and is pursuing his Executive MBA at Cornell University.
