AI Leadership

A short, illustrated book for executives, company owners, founders, CTOs, private equity partners — anyone who needs to understand what AI means for their organisation. Simple and clear, without the technical jargon.

What's inside

• What AI leadership actually looks like, with real lessons from the field. Ten times faster is not a marketing slogan, it is real.
• The risks boards still underestimate: Shadow AI, vendor liability, AI cybersecurity, and new compliance risks like the EU AI Act.
• A 90-day plan, an AI Audit framework, AI Enablement guidance, organisational reshape, and the AI Readiness Scorecard.

A designed object

Crafted as a designed object you want to hold, leaf through, return to, and put on display. Produced by one person, doing what usually requires a whole publishing team of designers, editors, and pre-printers, using state-of-the-art AI, showcasing that AI now belongs in every part of how work gets done.
