Synopsis

Do you want your business to experience accelerated growth and improved profit margins? What leader would say 'no' to that? However, such results, while always hard to come by, are becoming more difficult to accomplish. Despite the dawning of the age of AI, and all the hype it is bringing, the risks are increasing considerably as well. Too often, companies launch into a transformation misjudging the commitment required, treating it as a series or portfolio of projects and quickly what was once a clear path forward become convoluted, complex and exponentially riskier for the business.

Transform: A Leader's Survivor Manual to Driving Change in the Age of AI provides a "playbook" to help those leaders who are looking down the barrel of a major business transformation and can't afford to get it wrong. The book draws on 25+ years of experience across Fortune 500 companies, PE owned firms and mission driven nonprofits to help leaders structure their transformation. It provides a repeatable and flexible (dynamic) framework to guide execution, identifies common organizational pitfalls and how to avoid them, and provides guiding principles & tools to aid execution. Lastly, it provides a list of key leadership qualities necessary for a successful transformation leader and how to enhance them to allow those willing to drive change with confidence, discipline, and humanity in the age of AI.
