AI Transformation - Volume 1

This is the first volume in a three-part series that provides a guide for Business Leaders in addressing AI Business Transformation. Written by a business person with a long career in change management. It covers strategy, organisational readiness, financial planning, execution, governance, people, and change — each chapter ending with a Leadership Action Page: immediate actions, strategic moves, board-level questions, and success indicators. AI isn't magic — it's an investment. This book shows you how to budget for it, govern it, measure it, and know when to kill a pilot that isn't working. The three-era framework ("Know What → Know How") gives you a map. The quasi-employee framework treats AI agents as what they're becoming: a new category of worker that needs management, not just deployment.
