AI in Business: Why Every Leader Needs a Playbook

An open book titled “AI Playbook” with glowing digital network lines and AI business icons overlayed, symbolising a structured AI in business strategy.

AI is everywhere right now. Every boardroom conversation, every investor update, every industry event is full of it. But here’s the reality: while AI in business is on everyone’s lips, very few leaders actually have a clear plan for how to use it.

That’s where an AI playbook comes in. It’s not about chasing shiny tools, it’s about having a strategy that fits your business, your people and your goals.

The Problem Leaders Face with AI in Business

Most leaders fall into one of two traps when it comes to AI:

  1. Jumping in blind. They rush to adopt tools without considering risks, costs or how AI fits into existing workflows.
  2. Stalling out. They wait too long, hoping for clarity and risk falling behind competitors who are already experimenting.

Neither approach works. What you need instead is a framework that keeps you in control.

What an AI Playbook Gives You

A solid playbook for AI in business helps you:

  1. Cut through the noise. With new tools launching daily, you need a way to separate the hype from what’s actually useful.
  2. Spot opportunities early. From improving customer experience to freeing up your team’s time, the best use cases often start small.
  3. Manage the risks. Data privacy, bias, and over-automation are real concerns. A playbook helps you address them head-on.
  4. Keep your team on board. AI doesn’t replace people, it works alongside them. With the right approach, you can build trust instead of fear.

Why You Need One Now

The businesses that thrive in the next few years won’t just be the ones that “use AI.” They’ll be the ones that use AI with intention. Having a playbook means you can lead with confidence, experiment safely and adapt as the landscape changes.

And it doesn’t need to be overwhelming. You don’t need a 200-page manual. You need clear steps, real examples, and a framework you can put into action right away.

Build Your Own AI in Business Playbook

That’s exactly what we cover in my new course: AI in Business. It’s designed for founders, functional leaders, and managers who want to move past the noise and start using AI strategically.

By the end of the course, you’ll:

  • Understand the key opportunities and risks of AI.
  • Learn how to integrate AI into your workflows without disrupting your team.
  • Have the tools to create an AI roadmap tailored to your business.

AI in Business Course: Now Live and Ready to Help You Lead with Confidence

Illustration representing AI in business learning and application

Over the past few months, I’ve been working on something new. A course designed for founders, team leads and managers who want to take the confusion out of AI and turn it into something practical. That course is called AI in Business and it’s now live!

If you’ve been following my recent blog posts and conversations on LinkedIn, you’ll know I’ve been exploring the role of AI as a strategic tool and not just as a shiny piece of tech.

This course takes that further. It’s designed to help you understand what AI can (and can’t) do for your business and how to actually use it in ways that stick.

What you’ll get from the course

This is a course for people who want clarity, not more noise.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Cut through the hype and apply AI in ways that deliver real results
  • Spot high‑value opportunities for AI in your own business
  • Move from automation experiments to full integration
  • Bring your team with you (even the sceptics)
  • Avoid common mistakes that cost time and money

You don’t need to be technical. You don’t need a data team. You just need to be open to thinking differently about how you lead, plan and deliver with AI in the mix.

Why this AI in Business course matters now

AI isn’t going anywhere. But the gap between those who are using it well and those who aren’t is growing.

This course is about helping you get on the front foot, without getting overwhelmed.

Whether you’re exploring AI for the first time or you’ve already experimented and want to take it further, this course will give you a structure, a strategy and a path forward.

I’ll be adding bundle options next week that include coaching support. So if you’re looking for a more guided route, stay tuned for that.

Key takeaway:

You don’t need more tools. You need a better way to think about how AI fits into your business.

This course will help you do exactly that.
