Most AI projects fail — but yours doesn’t have to. Studies show that 70–80% of artificial intelligence (AI) projects fail to scale or deliver the expected business value. The reasons are consistent: weak alignment to strategy, unclear Return on Investment (ROI), poor governance, cultural resistance, and lack of executive sponsorship. This book is designed to change that. Unlike books that focus only on AI’s future potential or narrow technical detail, Leading the AI-Native Enterprise is written as a boardroom playbook for CEOs, CIOs, CFOs, and senior leaders who must translate AI ambition into enterprise transformation. Drawing on decades of experience in enterprise architecture and strategy, this book bridges business strategy, technology roadmaps, governance, and leadership into a cohesive framework for building an AI-native enterprise.
