Synopsis

You don't need another AI hype piece. You need to know what AI can actually do for your business - starting this week.

Your inbox has 47 unread messages. You have a quarterly report due Friday and a board presentation next Tuesday. Meanwhile, your CEO mentioned AI at the last all-hands, your competitors are slapping "AI-powered" on everything, and your twenty-something colleague casually mentions they "had Claude write the first draft." You are not entirely sure whether to be impressed or concerned.

AI for Business is the practical, department-by-department, task-by-task guide to using AI effectively at work. It is not a technical book. It is not a hype piece. It is not a deep dive into a single product. It is a strategic, tool-agnostic playbook for managers, individual contributors, executives, and entrepreneurs who want measurable productivity gains without creating new risks.

What's inside:

• The strategic foundations. Understand AI at work in 2026, choose the right tools for your team, and calculate the real ROI of AI adoption - not the marketing-deck version.
• AI for everyday business work. Concrete chapters on email and communication, meetings and collaboration, reports and documents, presentations, data analysis, and market research - with prompt templates you can use today.
• AI by department. Targeted chapters for marketing, sales, HR, finance, legal and compliance, project management, and strategy - written for the specific decisions and deliverables each function owns.
• AI in the platforms you already pay for. Practical coverage of Microsoft 365 Copilot and Google Workspace AI, plus how to build durable AI workflows that survive when the underlying tools change.
• The hard parts of adoption. Managing change in real organizations, building team AI fluency, choosing vendors without getting captured, and writing AI policies that people actually follow.
• Privacy, security, compliance, and ethics. Honest, lawyer-friendly chapters your legal and IT teams will thank you for.
• Future-proofing your career. What stays valuable when everyone has AI, and how to stay ahead without becoming an AI specialist.
• A complete use-case library, prompt templates, and tool comparisons in five appendices designed as desk references.

24 chapters. 5 appendices. Zero jargon. Written for the work you actually do.
