AI for Executives
A practical guide for the chief executive of a ten-to-a-hundred-person company deciding where to start.
The executive is under pressure to act on AI without a technical team, a spare budget, or a way to tell a real opportunity from a distraction. From reacting to AI pressure to running a deliberate, measured intelligence programme that fits the company's size.
