Most companies don't have an AI problem. They have a knowledge problem.
Your company is sitting on years of hard-won expertise-in proposals, project files, processes, and the heads of a few key people. Most of it is hard to find, undocumented, or about to walk out the door. Artificial intelligence can turn that knowledge into faster decisions, scalable products, and measurable profit. But only if you lead the AI transformation as a business decision, not as a software purchase.
AI or Chaos is a practical AI strategy guide for CEOs, executives, managing directors, and entrepreneurs of small and mid-sized companies who want real results from AI-without hype, without code, and without betting the company.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Find the knowledge in your organization that is worth the most-and make it usable with AI (knowledge management that pays off)
- Move from scattered experiments to a structured AI implementation roadmap in five stages
- Lead the change: turn fear and resistance into ownership and AI adoption across your team
- Build an honest business case and measure AI ROI your CFO will accept
- Put AI agents to work safely: where agentic AI pays off today, how much autonomy to give it, which guardrails to set, and how to run a 90-day pilot
- Set up AI governance and risk management, including the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and the EU AI Act
Updated for 2026. This revised edition includes a new chapter on AI agents-the biggest shift in how companies use AI since generative AI arrived-based on current data from McKinsey, Gartner, and OWASP.
Built for action: an AI maturity check, an AI opportunity matrix, an agent readiness check, an ROI calculator, a 30-60-90-day action plan, project templates, and a prompt library for ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini you can use the same day.
Includes access to the AI or Chaos Toolkit: 12 worksheets and an Excel calculator to build the business case for AI agents.
Written by a business economist with an MBA and more than 30 years of international leadership experience, who built a company from a pandemic launch to the leader in its niche. This book is about one thing: turning what your organization knows into what it earns.
