Turn your organization's AI focus to serving customers and growing revenue. Leaders who deploy technology with an "offense first" mindset create more enterprise value than those who lead with the "defense". #ceoplaybook #futureofwork

Imagine you and two friends building a 3-person company. This isn't a pipe dream, today's AI tools make this feasible, so figure out which role you'll "own" and find your two colleagues to own the other two. #futureofwork #leverageAI #careerplanning
