AI for competitive advantage: self-assessment

Sponsoring AI isn’t the same as governing it. Your board is about to notice.

A six-question diagnostic for execs in energy, utilities, and infrastructure who answer to a board.

This is not a maturity quiz. Those are built to make you feel fine. You don’t need to feel fine. You need to know what you’ll say when a non-exec asks what the AI spend has actually produced.

Six questions. The answer is the diagnosis. For the exec who has already spent real money on AI and would rather find the gaps before the board does.

Four minutes. Result on-screen. No email required.
