Become the Chief AI Officer: How to Become a Chief AI Officer, In-House or Fractional - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Every organization now needs someone to lead AI. Why not you?

AI has arrived in almost every company, often through the side door. Staff use tools without approval. Vendors switch on AI features nobody asked for. Boards want to know the plan. In many organizations, no one owns the whole picture.

The Chief AI Officer is one of the newest seats in the C-suite, and it is still being defined. The people filling it are not only data scientists. They are managers, operators, consultants and engineers who understand how a business makes money and can turn AI into measurable results, safely.

The AI Leader Playbook is a practical guide to becoming that person.

Inside, you will learn how to:

• Understand the real job: the Three Hats every AI leader wears (Strategist, Builder-Orchestrator, Guardian) and the myths that keep good candidates out.
• Score yourself honestly with the SIX-C Competency Map and see exactly what to build next.
• Choose your route: step up inside your company, go fractional, become the governance specialist, or partner as a builder.
• Build proof in 30 days with a day-by-day plan for your Evidence Portfolio.
• Do the work: a one-page AI strategy, VFR use-case scoring, the PILOT method for pilots that reach production, data readiness and vendor selection.
• Govern without blocking: Traffic-Light Governance, an AI register, and a plain-English overview of the EU AI Act timeline, the NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001.
• Speak money, not models: report every result in hours saved, cost avoided, revenue gained and risk reduced.
• Win and keep the seat: pitch the role internally, package a fractional practice, run discovery calls, and plan your first 90 days.

Includes a complete toolkit: a 30-day sprint calendar, 8 ready-to-use templates (AI use policy, pilot charter, use-case scoring sheet, vendor scorecard, results brief, board update, engagement letter outline, internal pitch memo), a 100-question AI readiness diagnostic, a 25-question interview bank and a plain-English glossary. Plus a free online Copy-Paste Kit, reached by a QR code inside the book.

Who it is for: mid-career managers, operations and finance leaders, marketers, consultants, compliance professionals and engineers who want to lead AI. No coding or computer science degree required.

The seat is open. This book shows you how to earn it.
