The Practical AI Roadmap: A New Series for Industry Leaders
02.04.2026
We are drowning in “visionary” content about Artificial Intelligence.
LinkedIn and industry journals are full of abstract promises about the future of work. What is missing is the manual for today.
Starting next week, we are launching a comprehensive series of articles designed to bridge the gap between the buzzwords of AI and the balance sheet of your business. We are moving past the “Art of the Possible” to focus entirely on the “Art of the Profitable.”
Four Industries, One Framework
This project is divided into four distinct channels, each tailored to the specific operational realities of that sector:
-
Insurance: Reinsurance and Specialty markets.
-
Legal: Focused on SMB practices and fixed-fee models.
-
Manufacturing: Focused on SMB operational efficiency.
-
Medical Devices: Focused on operational IoT and facility management.
While the industries differ, the path to value is universal. Each channel will receive a dedicated six-part series following the same execution framework:
-
Business Strategy: Defining outcomes before buying tools.
-
Subordinate Strategies: Aligning your IT, HR, and Operations teams.
-
The Data Foundation: Cleaning and structuring the fuel for the engine.
-
Analytics & Machine Learning: Predicting the future to price risk and prevent failure.
-
Automation: Removing friction from the physical and digital workflow.
-
The Feedback Loop: Using AI to learn, adapt, and refine the strategy.
Who This Is For
This series is written for the Operators—the CEOs, COOs, and CIOs who are responsible for execution. If you need to manage liability, improve margins, and deploy technology that actually works, this series is for you. We will avoid overstatements. We will check our stats. We will focus on the concrete steps you can take on Monday morning to move your organization forward. Stay tuned. The work begins now.
