AI Decisions and Roadmap

Rank your twelve competing AI priorities. Then put budget behind the top three.

A two-part workbook for executives making the AI investment tradeoffs explicit: force-rank twelve strategic priorities, then build the talent development plan that funds them. From the Actions section of No One Works Here (Wiley, August 2026).

What you'll get

• Force-rank twelve strategic priorities: AI ROI, upskilling, customer experience, governance, data infrastructure, culture, and more. Rank 1 to 12, no ties. If everything is a priority, nothing is.
• Defend your top three with a 12-month definition of success, key metrics, current values, targets, and budget for each.
• Build the talent plan: assess each direct report's AI fluency on a 1-10 scale, choose from twelve upskilling competencies, and tie every development action to a top-three priority.
• Size the full investment: roll up costs across executives, management, individual contributors, and new-hire onboarding into one number you can defend to the board and the CFO.
• Make the tradeoffs deliberate: eight tension pairs (AI ROI versus employee well-being, speed versus governance) plus a quarterly implementation roadmap with an executive sponsor and an escalation path.
