Welcome to Raise Your AIQ

In an era saturated with AI headlines, it's easy to get lost in the noise. But if you’re a business leader like me, the real question isn't about the latest technology breakthrough, but knowing what will really improve your business. It’s about discovering actionable insights or identifying opportunities to harness AI in ways that are meaningful, ethical, secure, and compliant for tangible business outcomes.

That’s why I named my newsletter Raise Your AIQ — to empower business leaders to increase their understanding and effectiveness in applying AI to achieve real-world benefits, not to focus on the latest technology advancements.

This first edition cuts through the hype to share practical, strategic guidance from over a decade of my real-world experience and around-the-corner innovation. I believe truly impactful AI isn't just about advanced tech but it creates better interactions to drive competitive advantage and profoundly improves how businesses operate and generate customer value.

In this edition, you'll find:

• Why this newsletter? And why now?: Discover the driving force behind Raise Your AIQ — a new kind of conversation for decision-makers who want to shape the AI era, not just observe or react to it.
• AI Readiness: Are You Truly Prepared?: This article reveals practical insights to gauge your AI readiness, avoid the trap of outdated, complex strategies, and embrace an agile, data-first approach to ensure your AI investments sustainably pay off in the short and long term.
• The Future of UX, Powered by AI: Dive into how AI will revolutionize interactions, moving beyond rigid interfaces to create experiences that understand and anticipate user needs in real time.

These insights are designed for leaders who relentlessly navigate change, drive practical improvements, and carry the weight of the consequences their AI decisions bring. I invite you to dive deep into these insights and challenge your perspectives.

Let's move past hype and navigate the AI frontier together with greater control and clarity, making complexity feel a little more familiar and driving outcomes that truly make a difference.
