Lesson 2 of 10 · Enterprise AI Strategy That Leadership Can Fund
In this lesson. Do not sprinkle a model on a bad process.
What you will learn
- Buy
- Build
- Fix process first
Walkthrough
You will decide whether to buy a copilot, build a wedge, or fix the process first. Strategy includes “not now.” This lesson is the choice.
Work through the ideas in order. After each point, pause and connect it to a task you already do — a document, a workflow, or a feature you own. The goal of Enterprise AI Strategy That Leadership Can Fund is usable skill, not a pile of notes.
If something is unclear, rewrite it in your own words before you continue. Teaching the step back to yourself is the fastest way to see gaps.
Practice
For one process, choose buy, build, or fix-first and write why.
Keep the first attempt small. A finished example you can reuse beats a perfect plan you never run.
