The Executive's Guide to BS-Free AI Strategy

If another consultant shows you a 200-slide deck about "digital transformation," you have my permission to walk out. Here's everything you actually need to know about AI strategy, minus the buzzwords.

First, forget about "transforming" anything. Focus on improving one specific metric that already matters to your business. Revenue per customer. Time to market. Customer service resolution time. Pick one. Make it better with AI. Prove the ROI. Then pick another.

Second, stop trying to boil the ocean. The companies winning with AI aren't the ones with the most ambitious visions—they're the ones actually shipping solutions. Start with a problem you can solve in 90 days, not 3 years. Build momentum through quick wins, not grand strategies.
