AI Leadership at Legacy Businesses

A Practical Guide for Executives at Companies That Weren't Built for AI

The playbook for executives and senior leaders at traditional, non-tech-native businesses — manufacturers, utilities, construction firms, and industrial companies — who need to lead AI adoption in organizations with aging infrastructure, risk-averse cultures, and workforces skeptical of change. Covers making the case, data readiness, vendor selection, change management, workforce transition, governance, and measuring ROI — all through the lens of companies where digital transformation looks nothing like it does at a tech startup.
