If you are a C-Suite executive, you might be feeling like you are becoming obsolete. The only way to stop this feeling is to stay ahead. You’re in a board meeting, and a question about AI comes up. You know it’s essential, but you realize you're not up to date. That feeling of falling behind? Eliminate it.

Start with the basics. Understand the key parts of your business that relate to revenue, margins, cash flow, customer satisfaction, and competitive advantage. Then, delve into how AI can enhance these functions. How can AI drive better outcomes? How does it improve financial performance?

Next, go deeper. Learn the anatomy of AI and what investments are needed. Do you have the right people to implement these changes? Remember, it’s more about human adaptation than just technical changes. This approach will not only keep you relevant but also boost your confidence in front of the board, peers, and major shareholders.
