A practical book for leaders on redesigning work with AI, one workflow at a time, with people in charge.
New Delhi: Being Topper® has published From AI Adoption to AI Architecture: Designing How Work Gets Done in the AI Era, by its founder Vipin Khuttel, under its Being Topper Publications imprint. The book is on Google Play Books since 9 November 2026.
Many institutions have adopted AI. Far fewer can show work that now runs differently. The book separates the two: adoption counts users and licences, architecture counts work that has been redesigned, with an owner, a level of AI freedom and evidence that it worked.
The question
Which of your workflows now runs differently because of AI?
What the book gives readers
From AI Adoption to AI Architecture
Designing How Work Gets Done in the AI Era
For leaders and professionals who decide how work gets done. It gives a method to redesign one workflow at a time.
- Twelve chapters in four parts, with twelve tools, and one tracker that runs through all of them.
- A five-level ladder from Assist to Act alone, so AI gets the least freedom that does the job and is raised only on evidence.
- Six signals for when a workflow earns a designed system, and when everyday use done well is the right answer.
- Ten principles and four composite organisations to work through, with appendices A to D.
Why redesign, not just adopt
Giving people access to AI changes little by itself. The book starts from the work: map what actually happens, including decisions and handoffs, then decide step by step what AI drafts, checks or prepares and what stays with people.
Each workflow gets a one-page blueprint with a “never” line, a choice to brief, buy, build or skip, a quality plan and a map of where the data goes. Owners are named, and results are measured before and after.
AI speeds up the work. Human judgment leads it.
— The idea behind the book
Who it is for
Leaders
A way to ask for evidence of redesigned work instead of counts of licences and logins.
Managers and team leads
A blueprint, a tracker and a review rhythm for the workflows they own.
Professionals
A practical method for any field that does not depend on a particular tool.

Frequently asked questions
What is From AI Adoption to AI Architecture about?
It is about redesigning work, not just adopting tools. Adoption counts users and licences; architecture counts work that now runs differently, more reliably and more fairly. The book gives a step-by-step method for redesigning one workflow at a time.
Who is it for?
Senior leaders, public officials and policymakers, managers and team leads, and professionals in any field.
Does everyone need to build with AI?
No. For most people and most work, everyday use done well is the right answer. A chosen set of workflows earns a designed system when six signals are present, and the book explains how to tell.
Does it teach AI tools?
No. It does not teach tools or explain any AI product. It is about design: which work should change, how, who stays in charge and how anyone would know it worked.
Are the examples real?
The four running examples are labelled composites. The “From our practice” boxes describe Being Topper’s own work.
Does it promise results?
No. It promises a clearer way to decide and a way to show evidence. No outcome is promised to any reader or institution.
Where is it available, and at what price?
On Google Play Books since 9 November 2026. The list price is ₹299 in India. The store page shows the current price for the reader’s country.
Can my team copy the tools?
Yes, for internal, non-commercial use. Teams and institutions may copy the tracker, cards, sheets and templates, provided each copy carries the line: From From AI Adoption to AI Architecture by Vipin Khuttel (Being Topper Publications, 2026).
