The Executive AI Transformation Playbook

Fifteen chapters for executives running a transformation rather than reading about one. It avoids hype, unsupported statistics and anything with a shelf life, because a book that dates in eighteen months is no use to a programme that runs for three years.

Who it is for

  • Executives accountable for an AI programme that has to produce something.
  • Leadership teams who have run pilots and cannot tell whether they worked.
  • Anyone who has to explain the plan to a board.

Who it is not for

  • Engineers looking for implementation detail.
  • Readers who want to be told the technology will solve it.

Bulk and corporate orders

Conferences and companies regularly buy copies for an audience or a leadership team. Signed, shipped in quantity, and usually arranged alongside a talk.

Replace this with the Tally bulk-order form. It should ask for: quantity, delivery city and date, whether copies should be signed, and whether it is attached to an event. In the meantime, email david@carvalhao.com.
