AI Strategy

An AI strategy is a plan for how an organization will adopt, deploy, and derive value from AI. A good AI strategy identifies the highest-value use cases, defines the adoption approach, addresses governance and risk, and sets measurable goals. A common failure mode: treating AI strategy as a separate workstream rather than integrating it into business strategy.

Another: spending months developing a strategy before doing anything. The organizations seeing the best results typically start with doing — building real tools for real roles — and let strategy follow from what they learn.
