Ninety-five percent of companies investing in generative AI are getting zero measurable return on it. Not because the technology doesn't work — because nobody at the company actually owns making it work.
Most businesses don't have an AI strategy. They have a chatbot subscription, a pilot in one department, and a board that assumes someone, somewhere, is coordinating all of it. Usually, no one is. IT already has a full-time job running the systems the company depends on today. Individual department heads can champion AI within their own function, but none of them has the cross-functional mandate to make it add up to anything a CFO can measure. The result is a pile of disconnected pilots — and a board meeting where nobody can answer what the money bought.
The AI Manager makes the case, backed by original research and a hiring market already littered with a near-identical failure (the short, unhappy life of the Chief Digital Officer), for a role most companies haven't created yet: a dedicated coordinator who owns AI transformation the way a CFO owns the budget — without ever touching the code or the checkbook.
It also makes a harder promise, grounded in a real reversal at Ford Motor Company: you don't need to fire your best people to make room for AI. You need to retrain them. The employees who already know your business are the ones best positioned to catch what an AI system gets wrong — and Ford found that out the expensive way.
Inside, you'll build:
- A three-tier structure — AI Manager, AI Technician, and Departmental AI Operators — that fixes the coordination gap without adding a technologist to your boardroom
- A company-specific definition of what "AI transformation" should actually mean for your business, and a departmental audit to find it
- A disciplined 90-day plan for turning your first priority into a proven, measurable result
- A clear-eyed look at the shadow AI already running inside your company, and the sandbox principle that keeps your data under your own control while you put AI to real use
Written for founders, executives, and board members at companies serious about getting past the pilot stage — not technologists, and not consultants selling the next tool.

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.
