the AI Manual for CEOs: Strategy, Business, and Organization in Language of People Who Run Companies

AI is not an IT project. It is a decision about strategy and organization that no CEO can delegate. Written by a 25-year retail and e-commerce executive turned AI consultant, this book speaks the language of the people who run companies, not the language of technology. In business terms, not technical jargon, it shows you how AI agents and AI Teams change your cost structure, your revenue, and your ability to grow without hiring. Inside, you will find a method built around Conditions of Satisfaction: a repeatable way to design, launch, and measure AI initiatives that tie directly to three numbers every CEO is judged on - lower costs, higher revenue, and growth without adding headcount. You will learn how to place your first low-risk agent with a fast return, how to build a mixed organization where AI Teams work alongside your people, how the rules differ across the US, EU, UK, and China, and how to choose - and manage - a qualified AI consultant instead of a technology vendor. This is not a book about tools or prompts. It is a strategic guide for the CEO who wants to ride the AI wave instead of chasing it, with a step-by-step method, checklists, and a Starter Conditions-of-Satisfaction library you can put to work immediately. Includes free access to the book's online edition, kept current as regulations and case studies evolve.
