Most businesses have AI activity. Very few have AI strategy.
There's a difference — and it's costing companies more than they realize.
A team member signed up for ChatGPT. Someone in marketing is running an image generator. The ops lead built a Zapier automation. And somewhere, there's a pilot that never got a follow-up.
That's not a strategy. That's noise.
The businesses pulling ahead right now aren't the ones with the most tools. They're the ones who answered harder questions first:
→ Does our AI effort actually connect to our business goals? → Where does AI create the most leverage for us specifically? → How will we know if any of this is working?
If you can't answer those questions clearly, you don't have a strategy — you have activity dressed up to look like one.
I wrote about the five questions that separate real AI strategy from the noise. They're not technical questions. They're leadership questions. And how your business answers them determines whether AI becomes a competitive advantage or just another line item. Read below.
If you're ready to go deeper, I offer an AI Future Ready Assessment — a structured conversation designed to surface exactly where your AI strategy has teeth and where it has gaps.
