SMEs are AI curious. They know AI matters but very few know what to do about it.
Research consistently shows that fewer than one in ten European SMEs have adopted AI in any meaningful way. The majority are stuck at the starting line, caught between curiosity and confusion, bombarded by vendor promises, and unsure where to begin.
AI: Curious to Capable is a practical guide for business owners, founders, and senior leaders who want to move beyond the noise and start making real progress. Written by Stephen Redmond, founder of Straitéis AI, a senior data and AI adviser with over thirty years of experience, this book introduces the Six-Pillar Framework, a structured approach to assessing AI maturity and building capability across the dimensions that actually determine success.
The book walks through each stage of AI maturity, from organisations where AI is completely absent to those where it is embedded in daily operations. It uses composite scenarios drawn from real advisory experience to show what each stage looks like in practice, what the common mistakes are, and what it takes to move forward.
Topics include:
- The current state of AI adoption in SMEs
- The EU AI Act and what it means before August 2026
- How to build AI literacy across your workforce
- How to evaluate external partners and avoid common traps
- How to sequence investment so each step builds on the last
This is not a book about AI technology. It is a book about organisational AI maturity. If you have been wondering what AI should mean for your business and how to approach it without the hype, this is where to start.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
