Why this topic matters

In 2026, every C-suite is demanding "AI strategy", but 95% of pilots fail due to hype over substance. Without a clear playbook, PMs risk "AI theater," misaligned teams, and stalled careers. These lessons give you frameworks to spot real opportunities, prioritize customer-driven bets, and lead with authority, positioning you as the go-to AI-ready leader before stakeholders ask "What's our plan?"
