The full ebook is available for free download here. "No BS AI Strategy Playbook" and "The AI Hype Hangover – CEO Edition," both focused on helping executives successfully implement Artificial Intelligence. The core message across both texts is the need to move beyond failed "pilot purgatory" and "hype" by anchoring AI initiatives to clear, measurable business value, such as revenue or margin improvement, within a 90-day timeline. The strategy advocates for applying classic competitive thinking, like Michael E. Porter's strategies (Cost Leadership, Differentiation, Focus), to select a single, high-value "Lighthouse Initiative" that ensures strategic alignment and data readiness. Furthermore, the second source introduces a portfolio management system called the Optionality Triad (Annuities, Growth Stocks, Options) for scaling successful projects and managing future AI bets, emphasizing that successful AI deployment is about disciplined execution and leadership rather than technical expertise.
