In this introduction to The CEO’s Guide to AI Transformation, Vincent Powell sets out the central question behind the series: how do leaders turn AI into real business value?

The series tackles the harder questions around value, suppliers, governance, workforce change and board-level responsibility.

The central idea is simple: AI does not transform a company on its own. Leadership does.

This episode introduces the choices leaders need to make if AI transformation is going to be deliberate, measurable and worth the effort.
