As a non-technical person, former CEO, and executive coach, I found this book of great value to help me understand how AI can help organizations maximize business results and provide employees the tools to increase their productivity.The author's interviews and case studies with business leaders lay out a variety of scenarios that are extremely helpful. They serve as playbook for how different organizations can apply AI to reach their objectives.I highly recommend this book for any business leader who is looking for a better understanding of AI and a practical approach for the application of AI in their organization.

A necessary read for any non “techy” individual to understand the applications and value that can be implemented across a business, utilising AI.Real life examples really help shape the understanding of the impact that can be implemented quickly and effectively!Given the impact of data and technology in the modern world, regardless of industry, this genuinely provides a starting point for harnessing the application of a proper strategy with a hard to understand subject matter!As an executive headhunter I’ve not only found this helpful from a business perspective, but also to implicate into job descriptions for future technology executive searches.Super helpful read!
