AI Strategy for Boards and Executives

Turning AI hype into measurable organisational advantage.

AI is reshaping markets, regulation and competition. But without clear governance and a financial lens, AI investments risk being costly experiments rather than strategic enablers.

I help boards and executives cut through the hype by assessing, integrating and governing AI with a focus on competitive advantage, operational efficiency, and measurable ROI.

  • Boards must own AI: governments and regulators expect oversight across ethics, data and automation risk.

  • Too many AI pilots fail: without strategic alignment, investment becomes scatter, risk rises and adoption stalls.

  • Mission alignment is essential: AI should deepen your purpose, not distract from it.

  • What about ROI: AI initiatives are often treated as a side initiative with unclear and subjective impact. Every AI project should have tangible ROI.

“AI isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about enabling better decisions, faster execution and actual, tangible results.”
