Welcome to High-Impact AI!
High-Impact AI: Strategies & Tactics for Leaders is for business leaders and decision-makers who struggle to understand how best to use AI, how to value it accurately, and how to implement it effectively.
Every business leader wants to transform their organization into an AI-powered enterprise. However, most end up with scattered, ineffective AI initiatives because they lack a coherent strategy and a deep understanding of the technologies’ capabilities. If this sounds familiar, you've probably attended executive briefings and read some of the many new AI books. You may have invested in expensive AI platforms but still haven't seen results.
Here's why:
Many leaders focus on the technology rather than the strategy.
As a result, they:
don’t build the proper foundation for success,
end up with siloed AI projects that don't scale,
experience growing frustration from failed initiatives, and
fall behind more AI-savvy competitors.
After more than 30 years of working with organizations on technology-driven redesigns and transformations, I’ve learned that successful AI adoption isn't about having the most advanced technology—it's about building the right kinds of collaboration between human and machine intelligence.
So, if you want to harness AI's potential but need practical guidance on how to create an AI-powered organization, then this newsletter is for you.
Who am I?
In 1985, I conducted graduate research in AI (Natural Language Processing, which is what powers generative AI). Since then, I’ve kept up with developments and expanded my knowledge and expertise in this area. After graduating, I became a technology executive and then a management consultant specializing in using emerging technologies to improve operating performance, create shareholder value, and strengthen competitive positions.
Some of the world’s largest businesses and best-known brands, including Apple, IBM, AT&T, McDonald’s, Siemens, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and Dun & Bradstreet, have sought my expertise. My client work has created billions of dollars in shareholder value. I have led successful turnarounds, managed large innovation portfolios, created over 30 high-tech products and services, and led the development/launch of successful technology-powered business units, including an AI analytics products company.
I started this newsletter because I see too many organizations struggling with AI adoption despite having talented people and ample resources. What began as informal advice to fellow business leaders has become a guide for building AI-powered enterprises.
I'm sharing everything I've learned about successful AI transformation and implementation.
