THREE BOOKS.
ONE DEVELOPMENT ARCHITECTURE.
A connected series for professionals, leaders, coaches, educators and HRD organizations that want to do more than adopt AI — and instead develop the human capability required to work with it intelligently.
FROM PERSONAL PERFORMANCE TO INSTITUTIONAL TRANSFORMATION.
Each book stands on its own. Together they answer three connected questions: Who must the professional become? How can human capability change? And how must organizations develop people for Human-AI performance?
THE CENTAUR PROFESSIONAL
A framework for professionals who want to move beyond AI as a productivity tool and learn how to deliberately orchestrate Human Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence.
Digital Edition
NEUROPLASTICITY
The science and practice of human change in the age of AI — from attention, practice and feedback to learning, unlearning, adaptation and human agency.
Digital Edition
CENTAUR DEVELOPMENT
A new institutional architecture for HRD, Corporate Universities, learning leaders, consultants and coaches responsible for developing human capability in an AI-transformed workplace.
Digital Edition
AI CHANGES THE TOOL.
THE SERIES ADDRESSES THE HUMAN SYSTEM AROUND IT.
Who must the professional become?
The first book defines the Centaur Professional: a person who can intelligently divide, coordinate and evaluate work across Human Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence.
The target state: Centaur Performance.
How can human capability change?
The second book examines the adaptive human: how attention, experience, practice, feedback, learning and unlearning shape capability — and how AI changes the learning environment.
The mechanism: human adaptation.
How can organizations develop it?
The third book turns the individual model into an organizational development architecture: competency, practice, simulation, transfer, evidence, Human-AI performance and value.
The system: Centaur Development.
DON’T JUST READ THE IDEAS.
ASSESS WHERE YOU STAND.
Two practical diagnostic resources turn the series from thought leadership into a development experience for the individual and the organization.
PERSONAL CENTAUR COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT
A personal competency-profile experience designed to help readers examine readiness for Human-AI performance and the balance between human and AI-related capabilities.
CENTAUR DEVELOPMENT AUDIT — FILLABLE WORKBOOK SET
A structured team assessment for HRD and Corporate University functions. The package translates the book’s institutional model into an evidence-based discussion and transformation process.
BUILD HUMAN CAPABILITY AT THREE LEVELS.
The series is designed for readers who do not want another collection of AI tools. It provides a connected architecture for individual performance, human change and organizational development.

DR. HERBERT J. KELLNER
Psychologist, educator, author and developer of competency-based human performance systems.
Dr. Herbert J. Kellner’s work spans psychology, Training & Development, competency assessment, organizational development and Human-AI performance. His long-standing professional question — how knowledge becomes demonstrated capability — connects the three books in this series.
The series moves that question into the age of Artificial Intelligence: first at the level of the individual professional, then through the science and practice of human adaptation, and finally through the institutional development systems organizations will need.
