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.
What you'll learn
- Build AI business cases for conservative boards
- Navigate vendor selection with legacy infrastructure
- Lead workforce transformation that retains institutional knowledge
- Implement change management for risk-averse cultures
