Outline

What's it about?

AI for Business Leaders (2024) introduces artificial intelligence from the perspective of managers and organisational decision makers. It explains how leaders can identify useful applications, evaluate opportunities and limitations, prepare their teams, and adopt new tools responsibly while keeping business goals at the centre of the process.

Key ideas

  • AI is introduced from the point of view of managers and organisational decision makers, not engineers.
  • Leaders can learn to spot where AI offers useful applications inside their own organisation.
  • Good decisions weigh both the opportunities and the limitations of AI before committing to a tool.
  • Preparing your team is part of adopting AI, not something to leave until after launch.
  • New tools should be adopted responsibly, with business goals kept at the centre of the process.
