Synopsis

The AI Revolution Isn't Coming. It's Already Here.

This is the AI education your MBA didn't include. Using the improv principle of "yes, and" - accept reality, then build on it - Leading AI Well gives leaders the frameworks to act decisively without becoming technical experts.

What's inside:

• What happens to your business model when AI makes your core offerings abundant?
• Why your competitive moat may be deeper, or more fragile, then you think.
• How to answer the question your competitors can't: why do customers still need you?
• Why AI implementation gets worse before it gets better, and how to lead through it.

This book won't tell you which tools to buy. It will teach you have to think strategically about a transformation that's already underway.

Will you block or will you build?
