Built around the questions boards actually ask, it trades vendor decks and listicles for operator-grade playbooks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The library is organised by mandate. There is a guide to writing the strategy document itself: what goes in, what goes in the appendix, what gets cut, and what survives a Q3 board review. There is a hiring track for the Chief AI Officer role, with scope, comp benchmarks, a 90-day plan, and the seven questions to put to every shortlisted candidate. A governance track audits AI against the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF, down to the contract clause two SaaS renewals failed without. An engineering track covers what changes once half the code is AI-generated. And a capabilities track handles tooling with real procurement reads, including Claude Code pricing and Claude Code versus GitHub Copilot. Deeper pieces measure AI adoption with leading and lagging indicators, weigh AI sovereignty, and price the downside in a board-level risk taxonomy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Most &#8216;AI strategy&#8217; content is either a vendor pitch or a listicle, and neither survives a board meeting,&#8221; said Thomas Prommer, Group CEO of We The Flywheel and Co-Founder of Flywheel Motion, who writes on AI and technology leadership at prommer.net. &#8220;This is the version I use in the room: what to write down, what to cut, what to hire for, and how to price the risk. Vendor-neutral, because the person reading it has to live with the decision.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AI Strategy Guide is the strategic companion to CTAIO, the resource hub for technology&#8217;s converging CTO, CIO, and AI role.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Read it free at aistrategy.guide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AI Strategy Guide is an independent publication by Thomas Prommer, part of the We The Flywheel network.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Media Contact: comms@flywheel.bz<\/p>\n<p><span style='font-size:18px !important;'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/companyname\/prommer.net_191209.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">We The Flywheel<\/a><br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Thomas Prommer<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/email_contact_us.php?pr=ai-strategy-guide-launches-a-free-vendorneutral-playbook-library-for-executives\" rel=\"nofollow\">Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> United States<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/prommer.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/prommer.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=ai-strategy-guide-launches-a-free-vendorneutral-playbook-library-for-executives\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Practitioner frameworks for writing an AI strategy, hiring a Chief AI Officer, passing governance audits under the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF, and modernising engineering AI Strategy: A Practitioner&#8217;s Guide (aistrategy.guide) launches as a free library of board-level &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/ai-strategy-guide-launches-a-free-vendorneutral-playbook-library-for-executives_825221.html\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[421,411],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-825221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Computers-Software","category-Technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/825221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=825221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/825221\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=825221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=825221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=825221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
