Coles The Validated Mind, Decision Making in the Age of AI: When Decisions Become Permanent at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON

The Validated Mind is a practical guide for leaders navigating decisions in an age where those decisions no longer stay temporary.
AI and automation do not introduce new judgment. They operationalize existing human judgment at scale. Assumptions become rules. Preferences become code. Bias becomes embedded. What once lived in conversation now lives in systems.
This book asks a critical question: What exactly are we handing to AI?
Drawing from decision science, psychology, and organizational behavior, The Validated Mind introduces a new way to understand decision-making-not as isolated choices, but as patterns of validation.
Behind every decision are five forces:
Facts we trust
Authorities we follow
Experiences we remember
Groups we align with
Outcomes we desire
Most leaders focus on outcomes. Few examine the quality of the validation behind them.
Through real-world examples-from hiring systems to AI adoption and digital transformation-the book shows how judgment becomes permanent long before it becomes automated.
AI is not the problem. It is the accelerant.
When systems begin making decisions for us, unexamined assumptions become organizational risk.
Written for executives, operators, and advisors, this book helps you slow down at the only moment that matters-before judgment becomes system.
Because the most important decision in the age of AI is not what the system will decide.
It is what you decided before it did.
