Executive AI Action 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

1. One named exec owns AI. Not a committee.
2. Every initiative has a real user, a real metric, and a real end date.
3. Governance is published before, not after, adoption.
4. Leadership uses AI visibly, every week.
5. 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.
