The Executive AI Strategy Playbook
From AI hype to 1–3 high-ROI pilots in 90 days
A practical guide for mid-market leaders
Why This Playbook Exists
Right now, most mid-market companies are drowning in AI noise. Vendors everywhere. Scattered experiments. No clear owner. No ROI story.
This playbook cuts through the hype. It's a practical, step-by-step guide to identify your highest-ROI AI opportunities and execute 1–3 pilots in 90 days—without the typical $2M+ wasted spend on projects that never scale.
Focus on Impact
Start with business outcomes, not technology. Every recommendation ties back to measurable ROI.
90-Day Execution
No 12-month strategy documents. This is a tactical blueprint you can start implementing next week.
Mid-Market Focused
Built for companies with 50–5,000 employees. No enterprise complexity, no startup assumptions.
What You'll Get
- A shortlist of 3–5 AI opportunities worth real money in your business
- An Impact Triage scorecard to prioritize what matters most
- A 90-day pilot blueprint you can execute immediately
- A 1-page AI strategy snapshot for your leadership team
