What is inside
4 parts, 12 practical tools.
This handbook gives business leaders a complete, non-technical understanding of AI in the enterprise: where it comes from, how it works, where it creates value, how to build a strategy and business case, which data and infrastructure choices matter, how to govern risks and how to prepare people. It complements Machine Learning for Business Leaders (how models learn) and Managing with AI (team-level use). Each chapter includes a worked example from one running case, an AI prompt and the mistakes to avoid.
