It has been impossible to ignore how artificial intelligence has reshaped the business landscape of the last couple of years, but for all the promise of improved productivity, most companies are still struggling to translate investment into meaningful commercial value.
In The AI Strategy Playbook, global strategy expert René Bohnsack combines academic rigour with real-world business insights to create the kind of guidebook you will keep coming back to. He cuts through the hype around AI to provide a structured roadmap to help businesses integrate these new technologies into their day-to-day operations, decision-making and business models.
The author explores four interconnected ‘AI Stacks’: Skill, Transformation, Strategy, and Governance and Control. This may sound daunting, but they form a structure that will guide even technophobe readers from the basics of AI literacy to identifying practical applications and redesigning business models.
For entrepreneurs and SME owners who do not have the luxury of huge technology budgets, the frameworks offer a way to approach AI strategically prioritise and spot the value without being overwhelmed by the pace of change. The inclusion of governance, ethics and regulatory considerations also provide some useful insights into the wider political debates surrounding AI, and for managing the risks within your own company.
The combination of strategic thinking and actionable tools makes The AI Strategy Playbook an invaluable resource for leaders looking to future-proof their businesses.
