You open your CRM and find three versions of the same client. Your file system has a folder called "Final FINAL v3." Your spreadsheet has columns that no one on your team can explain — including the person who made them. And somewhere in the back of your mind, a voice is saying: I should probably be using AI by now. Here is what that voice isn't telling you: so should everyone else. And almost no one's business is ready for it. Not because the technology is too advanced.

This isn’t another book about AI technology. This is a book about the organizational evolution that AI demands.
