Why this topic matters

Executives and leaders are being asked to “lead AI” without a playbook. Too often, organizations get stuck in pilot purgatory, chase shiny tools with unclear ROI, or struggle to communicate strategy to boards and stakeholders. This Lightning Lesson gives leaders a practical framework to focus on outcomes over hype, spot risks before they derail adoption, and identify projects that create value.
