by Divya Parekh (Author)

Leverage AI-work into operational impact in 30 days!

Imagine leading an organization where intelligent systems act as reflexive partners, anticipating business needs before they surface.

What if a company could move past "pilot fatigue" to achieve measurable results (12% reduction in waste or a 30% boost in productivity)?

Step into clarity to navigate AI technology without needing a background in data science, and scale responsibly without chaos, confusion, or culture damage.

Divya Parekh, a Thinkers50-recognized leadership coach and AI adoption advisor with over 20 years of experience, has meticulously crafted this essential guide to cut through the noise of AI hype.

Known for coaching senior decision-makers through the volume of change, Parekh uses tested frameworks and extensive research to deliver a blueprint that is both modern and familiar.

No theory for theory's sake. These frameworks get you out of pilot mode and into results.

In this book, you will learn:

• Why 74 percent of companies get trapped in "pilot purgatory" and the specific blueprint required to escape it.
• The "Impact-Feasibility Grid" secret to separating high-value business signals from empty vendor hype.
• How a simple two-week triage model allowed a regional healthcare provider to slash wait times by 22 percent.
• The three-part "BTE Framework" and why a leadership team is likely flying blind without mastering the ethical pillar.
• Why an organization must "think in loops, not lines" to build an intelligent ecosystem that continuously learns and self-optimizes.
• The "One-Metric Challenge" forces stakeholders to align on ROI before they spend the first dollar on a pilot.
• How to identify the subtle "Innovation Theater" signs that show a company is burning resources without building real momentum.
