Executive AI Action Plan
Executive AI Action Plan
You've done the thinking. Now the only thing that matters is what happens in the next 90 days. Vague ambition is the enemy — this lesson turns it into a specific, sequenced plan.
The 90-day executive AI plan, in one page
- Days 1–30 — Foundations. Named exec owner. Approved tool list. 1-page governance policy. Leadership team all actively using AI.
- Days 31–60 — First wins. Two high-impact use cases in flight with real users and clear metrics. Weekly wins comms started.
- Days 61–90 — Prove it. Publish results using the 4-lens ROI model. Present at board. Fund the next wave.
The 5 non-negotiables
- One named exec owns AI. Not a committee.
- Every initiative has a real user, a real metric, and a real end date.
- Governance is published before, not after, adoption.
- Leadership uses AI visibly, every week.
- You report ROI on all four lenses — never just cost.
The 3 traps to avoid
- The pilot trap — 20 experiments, 0 in production.
- The tool trap — picking a vendor before defining the use case.
- The training trap — mass training with no live workflow to apply it to.
The mindset to lead with
You are not building an "AI project." You are leading a fundamental change in how your organization works. Set the pace, model the behavior, and be honest about what it means for people. That's the executive job — the tools will follow.
