The 90-Day AI Transformation
A Week-by-Week Playbook for CIOs Who Need Results Now
By Shane Larson
About This Book
Your 18-month AI roadmap is a lie.
Not because the intentions behind it are wrong. Because 18-month roadmaps for AI initiatives produce exactly one reliable output: slide decks. Meanwhile, the vendor evaluations multiply, the governance frameworks expand, the consensus-seeking meetings fill the calendar, and your competitors ship.
The 90-Day AI Transformation is the alternative — a week-by-week operational playbook for CIOs, CTOs, and technology leaders who are done planning and ready to deploy something real.
Not a framework for thinking about AI. Not a guide to building organizational readiness. A manual. It tells you what to do in Week 1, what to deploy in Weeks 2 and 3, how to scale in Weeks 5 through 8, and how to make it stick in Weeks 9 through 12.
What's inside:
- The five organizational bottlenecks killing your AI momentum — and how to remove them before Day 1
- A complete sprint framework: team structure, scope definition, and executive sponsorship model
- The 10-day deployment framework for getting AI into production fast
- Week-by-week guidance from first deployment through parallel scaling to sustainable operations
- Templates for sprint charters, executive briefings, deployment decisions, and retrospectives
- A complete 90-day checklist with milestone markers and go/no-go decision points
- Scripts for handling every objection you'll encounter: "We need more time to plan," "Our organization is too complex," "What about governance?"
This is not a book about AI theory, machine learning algorithms, or digital transformation philosophy. Every chapter maps to a specific week. Every week has a specific deliverable. Every deliverable moves you closer to production results you can point to, measure, and build on.
Written for technology leaders who are tired of planning and ready to ship.
Your competitors aren't waiting for your roadmap to mature. Neither should you.
