We worry about choosing the wrong AI tool or provider. But it's generally the most reversible decision on the list. With an AI strategy, what sometimes arrives is a tool decision, a pilot, and a slide about data quality. That's a good start, but you're missing some important parts. An AI strategy that scales covers at least seven dimensions. Four that usually go missing can be the tough ones: - Ambition owned at CEO level and tied to the goals the board already tracks. - An operating model that sets who approves new initiatives and who keeps the live ones running. - Helping leaders use AI openly until it's normal across the business. - Controls matched to the risk, not to fear. None of the four involves buying anything. Each one is a decision, and most organisations haven't made them yet. The wheel below is the checklist I use with clients. Save it for your next strategy session. ♻️ Repost to help a leader write a whole AI strategy. 🔔 Follow Clare Kitching for insights on unlocking value with data & AI.
