YOU ASKED, I LISTENED! From your previous poll responses, the overwhelming request was for business strategy and practical AI rollout guidance. You wanted the real insights - not theory, but what actually works when you're implementing AI in production.

So, here you go - over the past three+ years, I've had over 200 conversations with forward-thinking executives who were early adopters of AI. Let me share with you what I learned — the strategies, the pitfalls, and the secrets very few talk about.

Notes from LinkedIn Live

Private Room AI Strategy Discussion 

As a follow up post LinkedIn Live I will be hosting an Executive Private Room AI strategy discussion.

• How to build your own 6-month AI roadmap

Top 3 Secrets from 200+ Execs

1. The Cost of Waiting > The Cost of Starting  

Leaders who acted in 2024 are now compounding learning and value. Late adopters face rising opportunity costs and culture drag. McKinsey reports that regular use of generative AI more than doubled in one year—those who wait aren't catching up; they're falling further behind.

2. Start Internal, Win Quickly, Then Expand 

Most companies get this wrong - they launch customer-facing bots first without prior AI experience internally, or they tackle five use cases at once. The winning pattern?

Pick one or two internal use cases, prove value in 30 days, then scale. Internal projects build trust, minimize risk, and deliver immediate time savings.

3. Insist on Live Demos, Not Slideware 

Vendors who can't show their product working live rarely deliver in production. If they can't do it live, walk away.
